I don't think vets get a pass during the regular season and then only have to show up in the playoffs. You have to get to the postseason in the first place.

Brouwer has been a limp noodle since day 1 of the season. Pretty much a no show. You can't even defend him saying "well he's on pace for his typical 20 goal, 35 to 45 point season" because he's on pace for 13 goals and 29 points. When this guy was brought in and it was criticized for paying him 4.5M until he's 34 and was defended saying it's the intangibles he brings. I don't know - I don't see it. I just can't believe STL gave up Oshie for him. I mean Ya maybe he brings it a little more during the playoffs but guess what - you have to make it there first.

I didn't get this signing from day 1 and still don't. Why not wait or make a different move for an actual top 6 RW.
