Maybe Brouwer bounces back maybe he doesn't. I don't see a fit with his salary on the Flames so if we send a 2nd rounder to Vegas to take him off our hands I don't think it is stupid. The Flames need that cap space as you likely know there is not a ton of cap room and several areas needing upgrades. Backlund is due a raise next summer and if Brouwer's $4.5M is still on the books it might be tough to keep him.

The Flames don't "need" that cap space right now. Teams move contracts regularly, by the time that space is "needed" they will either move Brouwer or someone else out. Players have bad years, giving up assets to dump them after a year is extremely short sighted and on top of that send a bad message to anyone the Flames want t sign in the future.
