Has he been great? Absolutely not. But for the fans to sit here and say he does nothing useful, I think you're out to lunch.

Not saying he's doing nothing of use at all; defensively I think he's been as advertised.
We all knew we weren't getting an offensive dynamo in Brouwer but there comes a point where a message needs to be sent if we are going to continue to use Brouwer in offensive situations with little results. At the very least I want to see him moved from the top PP unit which needs to get going again here and with how creative Ferly has been with Johnny/Mony in 5 on 5 situations it only makes sense to give him an opportunity and challenge Brouwer to earn that time back.
Also sitting Brouwer for a game to reward Lazar isn't an end of the world scenario; I think it would be positive for both players involved.
