Glencross's numbers = Brouwer's numbers (close enough) = Why bother

While Glencross is arguably on the decline that is not why he's being moved. His UFA status and probable demands are.
Since Brouwer is not a UFA, it's impossible to think it would be a straight trade.
The reason you'd bother is the two year age difference, the size difference and the positional difference. Plus, of course, the contract status.
