When a player's play over a small sample of games aligns with his most recent level of production over a long period of time, and then when another similar small sample of games is well outside of his career average which looks more like the expectation and the aberration?

Maybe I do put too much weight on Brouwer's injury. But by the same token a good number of posters are clearly not setting enough weight on the impact his injury had on his production. Would you agree with that?

But honestly if the first 10 weeks is the best he can be, it's still not great. But it is OK I suppose.
You guess? Come on. A 20 goal/40-point forward is exactly what Treliving expected to acquire when he signed Troy Brouwer. It is better than okay.
