Let’s get this right out of the way: there weren’t any really good choices to start with, so by default of having played the most games and accruing the most points by any #36 in Flames history, Troy Brouwer is the best player to have worn the #36 in Flames history. To quote our writer Maddie: woof.
Brouwer came to Calgary after being a very reliable and successful player for 10 seasons with Chicago, Washington and St. Louis, never having a season with less than 26 points with nine of those ten years being a 30+ point player.
