Brouwer is not a concern anymore wage wise now that G and 3/4 D slots have been filled pretty inexpensively... even with Brouwer the Flames are going to walk into this season with decent caproom unless they go crazy sign two expensive UFAs.
And then after this season his NTC ends and I'm sure they'll be able to move him partially retained if they really need to.
Give him a chance to prove himself this year, it's a no lose situation given the likely cost to unload him.
