You also have to factor in that we got Elliot from the same team. And got Gio as an undrafted player. And the new coach and then Tkachuck in the draft.
So it's really Brouwer + Elliott + Gio + Tkachuk + Glen Gulutzan

Oiler fans still trying to rationalize the Taylor Hall trade. ;-)

I think it is even beyond that. They model and plan for multiple years. They obviously place a high importance on a strong veteran leadership group. Within the season or before the start of next year, out will be Stajan, Engellend, and Wideman. That is a pretty significant change in the room.
This is still a very young team and Brouwer gets high praise for being a team guy/leader.
