Brouwer is the antithesis of a Glencross. 100% for all 82+, plays a physical and aggressive style, gets the hard-nosed goals that you need to win a game 7 against a team like the Blackhawks, and can be put anywhere in the lineup.
I just don't believe there is any real comparison to be made there, sorry.

Classic case of grass is always greener on the other side. The player who played for you will always be the lazy one who took shifts/games off, the player you saw once in a while against the likes of Kris Russell is tough-and-mean. I get that Brouwer had a good game 7 - but it was one game. Stajan had a good game 6 against the Canucks - does that mean he earned his contract with it?
Any time people make claims like this it's rare they back it up. Even Ricardo's dumb damn Grit Index would probably show they're not as far apart over an 82 game season as it sounds.
