Reply With QuoteBrouwer is a roto stud. With your cats he was probably a top ten RW last season. Definite keeper. Not a lot of trade value, but this is the kind of guy that wins pools. Second line RW, PP1..hits, pims and even fows.
Troy Brouwer
I have to send my keeper list soon and I'm wondering if I should keep Troy Brouwer. 14 teams league (12 forwards + bench), multi categories (hits, pim, PPG, PPA, etc...).
He had a great season and I'm just wondering if I can expect a 30 g 20 a season. If so, I think he can be pretty valuable...
And I wouldn't be keeping him over anybody else since I won't fill all my keepers spots. It's just that it's a salary league and I have him at 10$. Not a bargain in the league, but a fair price if he can score around 50 pts.

Depends on who the rest of the players are on your squad but Brouwer definitely has some serious value in leagues such as yours.
Kessel and Callahan for the RW. Will still have 3 RW spots at the draft if I want to.Originally Posted by The Hockey Hitman
Other than that, Pavelski at centre, and Lupul as a LW.
you should just post your entire team when posting for more accurate responses.
or put it in your sig. along with complete scoring cats
I think brouwer is awesome and killed it for me last season, but as a keeper, its debatable.
I hope to pick him up again in the draft

Brouwer is a valuable player in this setup, but be careful not to overvalue him for three reasons:
1) Shortened season breakout - perhaps he's continue at that pace but there's always a risk for slumps in a full season.
2) Shooting percentage - he shot 17% last season, which is doable for someone who's efficient (14% career) but not sure that's sustainable year on year. Maybe if he shoots more then he can get close but I hesitate to make that assumption that he'll score 30.
3) Power play points - he had 16 PPP in 47 games, which is a great total for top players but for a complementary player like Brouwer it may be an outlier.
That being said, it's possible that last season's breakout is a sign of things to come and he's find a nice position on the Caps. However, as above ntrspctv suggested, it would help if you posted your entire roster to gauge whether he's worth a keeper spot. Also, is this a H2H or Roto league?
I would keep Kessel and Callahan over Brower but would keep Brower over Pavelski and Lupul.
Tough to guage without your whole team but he is valuable in your format, may or may not be a keeper.
We have 11 keeper spots, which is high...
And keep in mind it's an auction draft with a salary league.
C : Thornton (28), M. Richards (23), Pavelski (17), M. Koivu (17), Plekanec (18)
LW : Lupul (10)
RW : Kessel (28), Callahan (9), Brouwer (10)
D : Pietrangelo (15), Hamonic (6)
G : Rask (10), Bobrovski (10), Dubnik (10)
I can keep 11 of those players. The locks are Rask, Bob, Dubnyk, Pietrangelo, Kessel, Callahan, Lupul, and Pavelski (he's more valuable than we can think in my league).
So I have two more spots. I was thinking Brouwer (Hits, SOG, PIM...) and Hamonic...
The others are too costly to keep I find...
