Six goals in 76 games is paethetic when you consider he was afforded first unit powerplay opportunities. Every team has an AHL player or two that they can plug in and match or exceed production as he’s a replacement level player.
Pretty much. There were expectations of Troy Brouwer when he was brought in and he didnt bring secondary or even tertiary scoring, he brought little to no realizable mental or physical toughness as management indicated this was a particularly weak point of the team.

So what did he bring? He did not meet the minimum expectations associated with his contract.
