My thought is they will want a guy they can possibly name as captain while the team identity gets sorted out. Brouwer can do that job on an expansion team, and there's little else to choose from for leadership players. Who else are you going to make captain, Matt Moulson?
McPhee is very familiar with Brouwer and I think he'd take him over a guy like Stajan or Shinkaruk for lots of different reasons.
Also, I'm just really hoping he takes Brouwer for selfish reasons.
