OK then, I withdraw my previous opposition to this potential signing, assuming the price is right.

Derek Ryan was a staple yes, but his PP production was poor.
16/17- 3.4 p/60
17/18-2.6 p/60
Brouwer in comparion:
16/17- 3.8 p/60
17/18- 3.8 p/60
His ES production on the other hand was pretty decent:
16/17- 1.36 p/60 (7th in forwards)
17/18- 1.68 p/60 (5th in forwards)
This blows Brouwer out of the water at ES and is decent production for a 2nd/3rd line forward.
And that's the thing. Peters seemed to really like this guy judging from ice time including ample time on the PP despite not being great there. I think if Calgary signs him, its probably not to play a 4th line role.
Like Calgary4life says, whether this move will be viewed as a positive addition will be based on cap hit. Ideally it would be lower than other players with similar production as he isn't very proven.
I would be pretty wary of anything over 1-2 seasons with this guy as well. He's turning 32 in December, which is the range when elite athletic performance declines.
