Maybe.
I just dont see Bennett ever being a big scorer in this league, though i hope i am dead wrong on that.
Brouwer is what he is...and even if he gets back to 20ish, thats not enough for the team.
Brodie looks to me that as long as he is forced to play on the left side he wont match his offensive numbers of a couple years back.
As for Johnny....yeah he should be a difference maker but he is a playmaker before he is a shooter....hence getting someone to finish off his playmaking. Maybe that guy is already on the team...maybe not.
