His poor season with the Flames hurt his value but is everyone in the hockey world writing him off as an albatross? 3 years isn't a ton of term for an expansion team and he is making less than $5M. I think there is a reasonable chance the Flames can convince Vegas to take Brouwer even if they have to toss in a sweetener to get it done.
Having said that Stajan also makes a lot of sense for Vegas. I just holding out hope that Brouwer is the one that moves on. If not I really hope he bounces back

You talk about people overreacting to one bad season, then essentially suggest that the Flames should pay to get rid of him?
He had a poor year and I get exposing him due to the acquisition of Lazar and the emergence of Ferland. But why would the Flames pay Vegas to take him when they're likely better off giving him a chance to bounce back?
