That’s just it - New Era suggested people were suggesting 4th line and PKer to help himself add to his narrative that this is a bad signing. I see him as a guy who’s main home will be 4th line Center but throughout the game he could play up the lineup as well taking some shifts in the top 6 RW as well as 2nd unit PP time.
This is a solid signing and while it may have been an overpayment even 2 seasons ago (heck even last year) with this cap just south of 80 this could prove to be a very solid signing by Tre.
What we brought Brouwer in for was short-sighted and overlooked warts for a specific need. Ryan brings us situational strength and can play up and down the line-up and is familiar with the systems.
I think the Flames could really hit the ground running for once this year and while that’s still a 50/50 notion right now I’m heartened to see the sigings/Trade truly address the issues we had last year.
Our defence could arguably stay the same versus last year if Gio/Brodie pickup where they left off - could even improve with a D guru coach and what could be a more well-rounded top 4; so the jury is still admittedly out on if the D is as good as it was with Dougie as it is with out. However I don’t think it’s debateable that our right side forward strength and bottom 6 forwards have improved... plus no Gulutzan/Cameron.
I don’t see how any fan can’t be a little excited about all this roster turn over and change; it’s good to see IMO.
