And what was the Flames record during those first 83 days? You know, when Brouwer was kicking ass. I mean top 5 among Flames forwards. Wowsers.
When I say he wasn't a good fit, I meant exactly that. Was he a good fit on the top line? Second line? Powerplay? Third line?
When the Flames were rolling in March Brouwers' roll on the team was reduced to to the fourth line (and he didn't even do that very well). When things got tough in April Brouwer completely disappeared.
Yeah, it's possible he could have a bounce back year but I wouldn't bet on it. Seems to me like the less of a role Brouwer plays, the better the Flames are. He had a good preseason though.
Too bad nothing came of those Brouwer for Ovechkin rumours.
