Brouwer is part of a leadership group that was called out last year - and I think Brouwer himself was called out very directly in that stick throwing incident. It's hard to speculate on the in-room stuff, but everything to do with Brouwer has rubbed me the wrong way right from when Johnny had his hand broken and Brouwer scoffed/wrote it off publicly. Brouwer doesn't belong in our top 12 from a playing perspective, and I have a feeling he wouldn't take kindly to being a healthy scratch more nights than not.
One of my biggest hopes this off-season is that he is removed from the roster one way or another.
