Can we all envision a world where one of Ferland or Chiasson is playing 19 minutes a night, every night, and the roster is one injury away from Garnet Hathaway getting automatic top 9 icetime as the first minor league callup?
Are we even having a conversation about the playoffs without Brouwer? I can freely admit his contract is awful, but that's what you get when you have to go out and buy top 9 right wingers.
Watch the Flames do it AGAIN this summer for a top line RW spot because there is no choice but to try to field a competitive team when the team's scorers are prime aged for scoring. Tomas Tatar, Nino Niedereiter, TJ Oshie, Patrick Eaves. Whoever it is is going to get PAID.
