"Easiest to replace" isn't so much a commentary on their skill, mostly just a comment on their contract situation.
Upgrading Brouwer is much harder than upgrading Ferland because we can't get rid of Brouwer. It's not really a comment on their skill level beyond the obvious fact that better (or possibly different in some useful way) players exist.
