I'm not sure I love the deal, but I am certainly assuming that he will be on the 1st line.
There is no rule that you have to put your best 3 players on line 1. Brouwer might be the 6th or 7 the best fwd on the team, but he is probably the best fit for line 1, doesn't matter if he "isn't a true top liner" in some people's opinion.
