That's what my thought process is, and based on some of the other people in this thread, on HF Flames and elsewhere, I'm not alone in it.

Just because you disagree doesn't make you right. Even if Brouwer puts up 45 points average doesn't mean he's free of whipping boy status or anchor status, but the fact that he takes up a lot of salary on a team up against the cap makes it risky.

Why are you comparing a UFA to players that signed deals years ago but also rfa deals. How many of the players listed went to free agency?
