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.

Backlund's raise can easily come from the $5.35 million coming off next summer with Bouma and Stajan's contracts expiring.
Flames do not
need to dump Brouwer, this off season or next.
