Brouwer played a lot more than 15 games on the PP. Way more,probably double that. Should have been 0 games.
There was an article about the Flames 4th line. It was the most used 4th line in the nhl at the time. It was also the least producing one. And yes, Stajan and Lazar have been better recently, but overall, they both have contributed sweet nothing to this team. The very definition of non contributors.

You’re actually the one who’s wrong about the PP. The Flames were a top 10 PP overall last season and before Versteeg went down were also a top 10 team. So that’s roughly 1/3 of the season that they were very proficient. The second third was not good, but the final third looks pretty promising. So based on their overall performance, I would say you should let the pros figure it out instead. Of Brouwer doesn’t work, you at least give him time to try so that you know for sure it doesn’t work.
I do agree with you about the 4th line though. Definitely one of the least if not the least productive in the entire NHL. But they play roughly 10 minutes a night just like every other team. You have to play your 4th line, nobody plays just 3 lines in today’s NHL. I’d put the blame on Treliving for not finding a better 4th line. Of all the lines that are easy to fix, the 4th line should be the easiest.
