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.

They’ve tried others and they’ve seen little success. Brouwer is not a great option, but he’s one of the few right shootjng options with our decimated RW depth. Once Versteeg is back, Brouwer won’t be necessary on the PP.
Also, the whole notion of over playing the 4th line is overblown. Stajan, Lazar and etc play like 9-10 mins which is typical for any 4th line in the NHL.
Also, the only reason why Brouwer has elevated his minutes is because of injuries. He had to play up the lineup with Jagr, Versteeg, Frolik and Ferland injuries. He’s literally been our most healthiest RWer as sad as that sounds.
