They have to sign him first. He is a 36-year-old UFA.

People complain about giving Brouwer an 'A' before he even stepped on the ice but want to give one to Neal.

And I'm sure Neal will be a great leader for this team, but Backs already is and deserves a full time letter.

I’m assuming it’s the largely the (head) coach’s decision on who gets a letter? If so, the guy that gave Brouwer the “A” is coaching in Edmonton now. Sorry Troy.

And hey, if Brouwer actually does complain about it (which I would be a little surprised was the case), you can stitch the “A” back onto his jersey. In Stockton.

9 years? Well in the grand scheme of things I was close.

Letters are overrated. I can guarantee we care more about them than the players do by a large margin.

Can you wear a letter in the Press Box?

Maybe we can get him an 'O' for Orville Reddenbacher.

Didn't Brodie and Brower alternate 'A's last year?
