If Brouwer signed for $2M per on 2-year contract instead of $4.5M per on 4 years, people wouldn't be so hard on him I think. He would have suck last game and probably only a few of us will say something. Brouwer was never been a top 6 forwards and was always a defensive forward who can score goals at times. Unfortunately GG and others keep putting him on the first or second or even the third line last season. I think Jagr bumping him on the 4th line would do Brouwer justice. He will never score like Gaudreau or Monahan but I think he'll make the 4th line better. F. Hamilton should be move and Lazar better get his act together now or else just send him to Stockton and get some ice time and develop.
