Yesterday, on Wednesday, September 25, the Florida Panthers announced they were parting ways from forward Troy Brouwer – who was on a PTO contract.
The 34-year-old from Vancouver, British Columbia had finished the 2018-19 campaign with the Panthers, participating in 75 games and recording 12G, 9A, for 21 points while playing on the team’s fourth line.
After taking part in the Panthers’ preseason on a tryout basis, Brouwer failed to convince management for a spot on the opening night roster. More importantly, though, he wasn’t able to provide enough that would last him for the remainder of the preseason.
