He won't be this bad throughout his tenure. I don't know if he's adjusting, or if he has no chemistry or if he's dealing with other injuries or off ice issues, but he'll find his role.
Look at Matt Stajan. That contract was miserable at a certain stage, but this season, I love the role he's taken on. He's a plus player, he's having one of the better offensive outputs of his calgary career, he's able to match up with any line if needed.
Brouwer has something more to offer this club, we haven't seen the whole package yet. Last thing I'll say is there is no one else in the Flames system I would trust to soak up those 15 minutes of ice time a night.
