It's amazing how often the age thing is mentioned in this thread. I know the league is trending towards younger players, but Brouwer is only turning 31 in a couple months. Since when is being 30/31 automatically a problem in the NHL? Give me a break. You know who is 30 or 31? Guys like Ovechkin, Bergeron, Burns, Gertzlaf, Perry, Pavelski, Krejci and so on, and they seem to do fine.
Brouwer is going to be 34 when the contract is up. Not exactly ancient.
