Not a fan of this. Seems like we're spending big money on merely average forwards. For all the talk this week about trying to emulate Chicago not paying middling players money, that sure isn't reflected in this signing.
If Brouwer is indeed a replacement for Colborne, I don't get it. Colborne is younger, bigger, likely cheaper, and had more points and goals last season. I don't think Brouwer being "hard to play against" is worth the extra $$$
