I'm not talking about fighting or blocking shots, I'm talking about puck pressure, skating, and effort.

Very true. While I'm glad Brouwer found another job, he just isn't a very good player in general anymore and he truly is an addition by subtraction.
For those saying that he's a fine player as long as he's being paid this lower salary, ask yourself this question; if NHL contracts were confidential and you had no idea what a player like Brouwer was being paid, would you have thought his performances the past 2 seasons were acceptable?
Sorry to say, but T-Bro sucks as a hockey player and no minimum salary is going to change that.
