Incidentally, the team scored 1 PP goal in the last quarter season when injuries hit.
Indefensible, but I am sure you will try.

Nope, you are just wrong, they often didn't even have him on unit 2 when they took him off - they left unit 2 intact until injuries hit. And when they took Brouwer off starting in the second quarter, guess how their PP was? Just as terrible as when he was on. I know there's a desire for a narrative, but Brouwer wasn't the PP issue. He had less ATOI on the power play than, say, Sam Bennett, but with more points.
He's not an ideal guy for the PP, which is why he went from being on a quarter of the time in the first quarter, to a 10th of the time, in the second quarter. Who would you put on instead, when the injuries hit?
