Troy Brouwer was bought out by the Calgary Flames in early August, but the Brouwer Pouwer leader didn’t stay team-less for long. Tuesday, the Florida Panthers signed Brouwer to a one-year deal on Monday.
Posed to be a veteran on a young team, Brouwer joined the NHL Network on Thursday afternoon to talk about the leadership qualities he hopes to bring to south Florida. Brouwer also talked about how special it was to watch the Capitals win the Stanley Cup, and shared that Nicklas Backstrom is the godfather to his three-year-old son, Cade.

Former Capital Troy Brouwer is tough and Thursday he showed just how adverse to pain he really is.
During Brouwer’s first shift against the New Jersey Devils, the Flames forward accidentally blocked a Kyle Palmieri dump-in with his cheek. Brouwer would skate off the ice and immediately go down the tunnel.
But, no, that would not be the end of his night.
As it ramps up its promotion for the 2018 Winter Classic, the NHL is counting down the greatest Winter Classic moments of all time.
Wednesday, the NHL named Troy Brouwer’s game-winning goal with 12.9 seconds left in the 2015 Winter Classic as the fifth best moment.
During his time in Washington, Troy Brouwer scored many goals, but he also did a lot of something else.
Brouwer would videobomb, né Brouwerbomb, his teammates and fans alike. Tuesday, Brouwer took all on a trip down memory lane in the third period.
The Detroit Red Wings defeated the Calgary Flames 8-2 Wednesday night, but the fireworks late in the third period were all anyone could talk about afterwards.
With the Red Wings leading 6-2 with 5:56 remaining, Luke Witkowski beat up the Flames’ Brett Kulak and then taunted Travis Hamonic, asking if he wanted a piece of him too. Officials would eject Witkowski from the game, but he was “speared” in the back of the legs by Matthew Tkachuk as he skated off the ice.
Witkowski didn’t like that much and set off a good ol’ fashioned bench brawl!
Last summer, former Washington Capitals forward Troy Brouwer signed a four-year, $18 million contract with the Calgary Flames. Brouwer was a hot commodity after scoring eight goals and helping lead the St. Louis Blues to the Western Conference Finals.
That marriage may be ending sooner that anyone ever expected. Late Saturday night, Sportsnet’s Eric Francis leaked the Flames’ expansion draft protect list and reported that Brouwer, one of the team’s alternate captains, was left unprotected.
