He got on some more after Ferland went out in the third quarter.

So, basically what you're saying then is:

For SURE on the top unit in the first quarter

So when Versteeg and Jagr were healthy and active on the roster
Which confirms it was a legit choice by the coaching staff

For SURE on the top unit in the last quarter because of shortened lineup

At this point it was known he was a waste of time even being on the PP so why not throw ANYONE else out there just to see (Lazar, Hathaway, Harvey)

Taken off in for the second quarter

Maybe some hope, but had the odd game where he was thrown onto 1 of the units for whatever reason

Ferland goes down and Brouwer gets those minutes during the 3rd quarter

Again, there was nobody else we could have tried rather than throwing out Brouwer who to this point provided absolutely NOTHING to suggest this time around it would be any different?
Sounds to me like in the grand scheme of things he was overused completely and the results speak for themselves. Lots in the 1st and 4th, minimal in the second and more in the 3rd quarter. That's significant time in
3/4 quarters which to me echo's the concerns of many here.
