Did he bug Trev to get Brouwer, or did Trev sign Brouwer because Brouwer's wife wanted him to sign with Calgary? Also if so why doesn't he use Brouwer with Gaudreau and Monahan more? They had nice results when they were paired up.
GG's player usage was awful this year. Sticking Hamilton with garbage for 20 games, sticking Brouwer with a youngin that can't carry him instead of the two stars who can, Brodie with Wideman for way too long, top line winger Alex Chiasson, using Bartkowski at all, the 2nd PP unit being better than the first but getting less ice, Brodie on his offside (though I don't think this was a big impact on Brodie), and sticking Bennett (whose continued development is the key for this franchise to move forward as a contender) with awful 5v5 linemates and giving him no PP time which has probably destroyed his offensive confidence.
This team punched so far below it's weight this year and I hope that GG can fix these problems somewhat next season because he did do a good job overall I think in getting his system implemented and having everyone on the same page. Next year we will see if that leads to an improved record.
