i think the defininition of top 6 forward for brouwer can slide depending on the center. i think we are going to see a lot of movement in that area this season. laich may well get 2c and 3c time. johansson will get time at 1, 2 and 3c. if the 2nd line has laich at center with semin, it could well be that johansson is skating 3rd line. a johansson brouwer pairing on the 3rd line might bring more production than being the 3rd player on the second line.
i expect we will see a lot of 1c backstrom, 2c johansson, 3c halpern, 4c sjogren as well with laich on the wing. brouwer-halpern-ward could be a tough to play against playoff line
