As much as everyone loves scapegoating the coach for every problem this team has, Brouwer’s struggles has been on him. He’s been given opportunities and he’s blown them. With how quick the game is played now, he’s just a slow plug at this point in his career and that’s actually on Treliving for not forecasting that.
Nobody blames McLellan up north for Lucic’s struggles, people blame the Chiarelli for that mistake and the same rules apply here.

What Brouwer has done previously is irrelevant. He is taking up a spot on the PP that could be better used for someone else who might actually score.
And I don't totally blame the coach, I partially blame him. I think everyone knew we had weak forward depth this year. But overplaying Stajan, Brouwer, and the like doesn't help.
Gulutzan needs to make the most of what he has, not beat a dead horse.
And I do blame Trelieving. That contract needs to be bought out this summer, and that's on him big time. The Hamonic trade is also looking like a disaster, and I said I'm that thread I think it should cost Trelieving his job.
