The problem has actually been that in the past he's been more effective in that triggerman role that Monahan occupies on the first unit.
The biggest fail was that the coaching staff seemingly had no idea of the role he was effective in on the PP in the past and kept trying to put him on the half wall on the first unit, when he probably should have been the trigger man on the second unit that actually lacks a pure shooter.

Agreed. When you look at his paltry few goals with the Flames, Brouwer most often scores as the trigger man after someone else does all the muckwork to get the puck to him. i.e.: his goal against the Sharks. Lazar and Stajan drew everyone to them, outworked their opposition and made a perfect pass right onto Brouwer's stick, unmolested in the slot for a 10 bell chance.
