I think it's important with Brouwer to keep some perspective.
I'm all aboard finding a solution for this season, but I'm not as quick to write the guy off long term.
If he goes in expansion that's what happens, but you have to look to that injury to see what's going on in my mind.
On Dec 23rd he had a .475 points per game which would translate to 39 points in a season, right on his career average.
Since then he's put up 4 points for a .15 points per game.
I think the guys mitt is still hurting, and with that he's hurting his line. Get him into a simplified role until he's either healed or it's next season.
