He actually has some history beind his game. Ryan would not be in the NHL without the favorable playing time provided by Bill Peters. Put Ryan in Brouwer’s role and he doesn’t come close to those 30some points. He’s more of a 15-20 player in GG’s system.

You’re off on Brouwer.
Brouwer has long been an anchor, and the signing was thrashed from the moment it was rumoured to be happening and it has played out exactly that way.
Ryan is a good hockey player, and earned ice time.
Brouwer is a bad hockey player, and was given ice time for absolutely no reason.
