Brouwer doesn't just give you "truculence" though ... he has decent speed and skill too. Boedker is a faster and better skater for sure, but again, he doesn't give you much else. People on here hated Colborne because he didn't use his size to play a more physical game ... well, if that irks you, then you'll loooooove Boedker. And the "save money" argument ... oh well, only 500k. Nothing to lose sleep over. Then you add the stuff that Brouwer brings (RH shot, grit, board work, goal scoring) and it's a pretty easy decision.
and again, I actually kinda like Boedker. Just not a fit on this Flames team at all right now.
