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.

But it ignores the fact that the Penguins could get stuck with 3 seasons of Brouwer at $4.5 million. If I'm Rutherford I'm paralyzed at the thought if being stuck with him.
