It's ironic that a year ago we were talking about maybe trading with Vegas so they agree NOT to take someone off our roster. Now we can't ship Brouwer to Vegas fast enough.

It's come to this? David Jones is more valuable than Troy Brouwer? The David Jones that retired from the league because no one wanted to re-sign him?
Lots of hate about the contract and while it is less than ideal, he was a ufa and probably was getting offers from other teams that were probably in this range. Had an off year which may be explained by a broken finger which may have hampered his production/performance.
We had a dearth of rw prospects and still don't have much in the pipeline. I'm probably in the minority but he's not a bad placeholder until we can develop his replacement from Stockton.
