I'm with everyone who thinks Brouwer has been terrible with this team. But at the same time, I also understand Gulutzan's rationale of playing a right handed faceoff man on his strong side. Obviously he wanted to entrust Brouwer with some important minutes and key situations because of his improved play as of late but Brouwer failed. Poof, there goes any trust he's gained. But I'm still convinced this team still needs a better right handed faceoff man or actually effective players instead of wasting picks and assets on more slow players or resurrection projects like Lazar.
