from the Chicago Tribune,
Brouwer expressed disappointment Tuesday over the reshaping of the team and said he wasn’t the only player to feel that way.
“I kind of thought they would make more of an effort to try and keep the team together, but obviously that’s not the case,” Brouwer told “The Danny Mac Show” on WSCR-AM 670. “And I’ve talked to a couple of guys on the Blackhawks currently that are a little frustrated with how everything is going.

Brouwer Will Be Looked At As A Leader In Washington

from Katie Carrera of the Washington Post,
Acquiring 25-year-old Troy Brouwer, a gritty leader who already has won one Stanley Cup in his career, might not have been the glitziest move that occurred over the past few days while the hockey world assembled in Minnesota. But it’s one that General Manager George McPhee believes will help Washington on and off the ice. It was the Capitals’ lone trade during the draft, and they used picks in the final four rounds to select a goaltender, two defensemen and a center.
“We thought it was a really good move for our club at the right time,” McPhee said. “I talked to him [Friday] night; he was really excited and sounds like a great kid. It’s amazing to feel that after a three-minute conversation, but he seems like the kind of leader that we’re looking for.”

from Randy Sportak of the Calgary Sun,
Troy Brouwer has a very good idea of the player he’d like to become.
In the last four games, the Chicago Blackhawks right winger has had a first-hand view.
It’s Johan Franzen, Detroit’s scoring machine.
“He’s a big power-forward who gets in the corners, grinds it out, has the scoring abilities and is one of the go-to guys,” Brouwer said. “That’s what I’m going for. I’ve got the big part. Now, I just need the scoring part. Hopefully, within the next season or two, I can find my scoring touch again.”
