I had hopes that the rumor of a trade involving Brouwer was true. I would think that if a trade was imminent, that Brouwer would be scratched to protect the asset. I fear that it was only a rumor.
I can understand Brouwer holding back in pre-season somewhat, but I don't understand this 'gritty warrior' playing smaller and with less compete than Gaudreau. Make him roomies with Glass. Maybe he will learn a thing or two about compete level. It is non-existent with Brouwer, and that's not acceptable.
