The PP thing is overblown. He didn't play a lot of PP1 minutes this year, or even last year. He was mostly on PP2 last year and mostly not even on the PP for the whole middle of this year (he went on when Frolik was injured and at the end of the year).
From The Athletic's top 25 buyout candidates , on which Brouwer ranks #1 in the entire league:

Quote:
Instead, Brouwer fell to 22 points, and failed to hit double digits in goals for the first time in his NHL career. He’s playing fourth line minutes at even-strength, along with a heavy dose of special teams time, but even that could be curtailed: Calgary’s penalty kill allowed more than 10 goals per hour while he was on the ice, while its power play managed less than four goals per hour when he was on it.
Brouwer was awful on the PK, and the PP.

His PP linemates in 17/18:
23.3 BROUWER,TROY - GAUDREAU,JOHNNY - MONAHAN,SEAN - VERSTEEG,KRIS
15.9 BROUWER,TROY - FERLAND,MICHEAL - GAUDREAU,JOHNNY - MONAHAN,SEAN
11.9 BACKLUND,MIKAEL - BENNETT,SAM - BROUWER,TROY
8.3 BROUWER,TROY - GAUDREAU,JOHNNY - MONAHAN,SEAN - TKACHUK,MATTHEW

The majority of his PP time was with the players that would be on PP1.

Troy Brouwer was the worst mainstay player on the Calgary Flames in 2017/2018.
