Panthers release Brouwer from PTO

The Florida Panthers have released veteran forward Troy Brouwer from his professional tryout agreement, the team announced Wednesday.

Brouwer, 34, was bought out by the Calgary Flames in August 2018 and signed a one-year, $850,000 deal with the Panthers ahead of the 2018-19 campaign.

The 6-foot-3 forward appeared in 75 games for the Panthers last season and contributed 12 goals and 21 points while leading the team with 177 hits.

Brouwer has played 13 NHL seasons and captured a Stanley Cup with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2010.
