Brouwer was expected to produce a little offense and while Coleman has proven not to be a liability on the ice he's getting paid for more than defensive hockey. This isn't Brad's worst contract by any stretch but it's not a great one when you are trying to lock up Gaudreau and Tkachuk long term. Shouldn't have been a priority signing for this team with all the secondary scoring issues the team has. Darryl for crying out loud reminds us all the time about the lack of secondary scoring.
