They haven't held on nearly long enough and when he has been moved around within the lineup to find chemistry, he has found some spots where he shows improvement. Then Brouwer finds himself on the end of a promotion and the lines get mixed up as Brouwer seems to be the 1 guy who coaches will move up and down the lineup on a regular basis.
Should never be given up on until he has been put in a position to succeed and still fails... this involves more than a few shifts or a game.
I think it would be interesting to see Ferland, Hathaway and Bennett on a line with Tkachuk receiving a promition to the first line and Janksowski put with Frolik and Backlund to try and respark Janko.
Ferland has done better than anyone expected on the top line but if you can spark Janko and Bennett with some confidence, this team looks real deep.
