Unfortunately I think Brouwer fills the role we would see Jags play here. Depth winger/powerplay.
Many focus on Brouwer's negative chemistry with Bennett. However, people like to forget that the Tkachuk-Bennett-Brouwer line was actually decent at the start of the season. Brouwer might turn things around and he might not. Buy, we gotta play him somewhere.
Gaudreau-Monahan-
Tkachuk-Backlund-Frolik
-Bennett-
Stajan-
5 openings in the lineup at wing only 3 in the top 9. Out of Ferland, Verteeg,Brouwer, Lazaar, and others, such as Foo and Jankowski could push for spots. There's very little room without moving a player.
Would have to happen after a trade or training camp IMO
