Like many, i've been hard on Brouwer, but he has played really well the last few games. If he keeps this up, there is no reason to make a bad trade to get rid of the contract.
Also, how can there still be people complaining about Glass? He might be the best enforcer this franchise has ever had in terms of hockey ability. He makes smart decisions with the puck, he finishes his checks, he fights very well for his size. The most impressive thing is his puck protection and board battles; you can see how this guy played 20 games for Alain Vigneault in the 2011 Canucks run. He just makes really smart plays out there and doesn't just blindly turn the puck over. He's even useful on the PK and all for minimum wage. I mean against softer opponents, I don't want to see Glass in the lineup over a guy like Lazar, but Glass has been very good.
