As for Brouwer I think he can maintain his historical performance for a year or two. It's impossible to know what other options there were for RW. Overpaying for UFA doesn't usually work out though. Particularly for a team that doesn't appear close to contending. But maybe they're closer than I think.
Yup agreed with you. I guess the thing is if one's expectation of Ferland is for him to be a fixture in the top 6 then sure, he'll likely be bust, but then the question arises - why are you expecting Ferland to be a top 6 player?

I think the projection is too high for those tagging Ferland as a bust, thus the bust is inevitable.
