Brouwer is a 30-40 point guy who can add some physicality. He will not be any worse than he was this year. He has leadership capabilities, and he has 3 years of term. Add on the history he has with the GM. I think Brouwer may be the one after all.

I'm actually surprised how much hate Brouwer gets around here. It reminds me of how some people bellyached about Sarich for the longest time.
He is a decent 2nd to 3rd liner at his price considering his experience. The fact he under produced a little on the scoreboard last season does not erase what he is capable of.
I think, given the players we are likely to expose, they would be smart to take Brouwer.
