Brouwer has no protection and everyone knew this expansion draft was coming, so any handshake deal would have been properly negotiated in the form of a NMC. That is the "something written" in the deal that you are referring to.

If that's the case then Ferland would be the guy however if that's the case I wouldn't rule out the Flames trading him prior to the expansion draft if there's a market for him.
