Brouwer's terrible play wasn't overblown at all. I wouldn't want him at the league minimum, much less 4.5m. He's slow, provides no offense, his defensive zone coverage is average at best and he doesn't really provide that physical element that we thought we were getting (he's too slow to line people up most of the time). Not sure how people can argue he was ok if not for his salary. He scored 6 goals for crying out loud and he brings nothing else to the table.
