Honest question because there are options. But the easiest option is to keep one of your best and most regular PKers on the fourth line (rather then trying to develop a rookie in a limited role.)

Lazar maybe?
Does brouwer play PK? if so, he could do the job, since he takes plenty of draws too.
You do bring up a valid point. Looking at last year's PK TOI/GM, here's the order for our forwards:
1. Backlund (2:14)
2. Frolik (2:02)
3. Stajan (1:47)
4. Bouma (1:35)
5. Brouwer (1:33)
6. Bennett (1:07)
7. Chiasson (:55)
8. Monahan (:29)
9. F. Hamilton (:20)
10. Lazar (:16)
That leaves us with Backlund, Frolilk, Brouwer, Bennett as the guys who got any real substancial PK time (ignoring stajan if he is assumed to sit)...
