If I am Vegas I would take Brouwer.

I think LV will push to sign UFA Derek Engelland in the early negotiation window, and will forego a Flames expansion draft selection. Engelland is a better player than anyone they could select from the Flames unprotected list, and they would likely be able to get him cheaper while they are the only team bidding for his contract. They will sign a handful of UFAs prior to the draft, and I would have to think that Engelland is high on that list.
