That's why I always said that the only possible trade partner for the Flames for Brouwer is perhaps Pittsburg.
They need to move Fleury, and the Flames can take a goalie that needs to be protected (plus they actually need a goaltender). 2 more years at $5.75 (Fleury) vs 3 more years at $4.5 (Brouwer), pretty even there. Plus Brouwer can be exposed and may get picked up.
I say it is a pretty good deal for both sides.
