But that being the case, and with no push from Foo or Poirier, it pretty much leaves Brouwer on Bennett's line. I am not a Brouwer hater, but I think almost everyone would agree that Brouwer on Bennett's line is not an environment where we can expect Bennett to take a big step offensively.
Add Jagr and you get Versteeg - Bennett - Jagr, which is a very good 3rd line that would be able to help the Flames score more goals.
It also puts Brouwer on the 4th line, which makes that line a really solid unit.
And of course, it adds to the overall depth of the team.
That is why I think adding Jagr does so much for the lineup. It changes 2 of the 4 lines for the better, as well as leaving the 2nd line in tact.
This lineup is
way better with Jagr added.
(I would also put Jankowski in over Stajan (which I think will happen) and Lazar in over Hamilton, but that is another discussion)
