Who takes those PK minutes if you sit Brouwer? Glass? Jagr? Haven't seen much PK from Lazar either. You can of course give more PK minutes to Backlund and Frolik, but that takes away from 3M lines 5-on-5 time, which you don't really want.
Brouwer might not be worth his cap hit, but I don't see how anyone can argue he didn't earn his TOI in Anaheim.
