Like others have said, you can slot in Frolik there if Brouwer starts to play like crap.

Brouwer brings down the 2nd line. His WOWY numbers are absolutely staggering.
It's as simple as this. Frolik is a good middle 6 forward. Brouwer is not, so you want him playing as few minutes (ideally zero) as possible.
Frolik has and will continue to make better use of that ice time. You don't give those minutes to Brouwer because two linemates are somehow making him look adequate. With Frolik, they are a top 3 possession line in the league. With Brouwer, they barely keep their heads above water.
