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.

Edited original post. intention was not meant as in "decline in skill" more so decline in loss of favor within the organization.
UFA, I'll give you that though his salary on our books doesn't really mean much when we're so far below the cap anyway.
Size/Position you can also get a point for, but again can we not use someone in our farm to cover that for the rest of the season?
If its not a straight trade, then it may be worth exploring, at the end of the day I don't see Brouwer being any more effected then Glencross has been in the long run. Would rather let a rookie eat up some more minutes and see if they can turn into something positive.
