My only reasons for hoping that they will take Brouwer are that he is an experienced player that the GM is familiar with and he would be a useful player for establishing a professional culture for what looks like it will be a roster full of younger players. Also, he has a contract for 3 more seasons, so it would be one of the few players who they wouldn't have to negotiate a contract with over the next two seasons.
I'd still be pretty surprised if they took him.
