I think Troy will be the first to admit that last season was a let down season and by no means am I expecting a complete 180 switch from last year but I do think he will perform better for us here. What many fans fail to consider when wanting to jettison an unwanted player is that optically as a team and a franchise you have to do it the right way otherwise your sending a message to potential UFA players down the road that maybe Calgary isn't the best option when you at how they turfed Brouwer before the half way point of his contract - hypothetically of course.
I think we are dug into this player for at least the next year if not more so might as well try and use him in a way that will allow him to be his best.
He needs to get back to that checking winger that can chip in now and then and only time will tell if he can but we really have no choice in my opinion but to give him that time for a little while yet here.
