Brouwer was a consistent 40ish point guy until last season. Fans put a lot on "what have you done for me lately" with players which is why several people are really in the anti-Biahop camp. One bad year doesn't make a career in most cases.
My problem with Brouwer is the fact he did not fit with any of the lines. Perhaps giving him a spin with Backlund-Frolik next year could help him like it did for Tkachuk, Colborne, and Bouma in the past?
Also the McPhee factor could be real. He knows what he is getting with Brouwer and 3 years isn't crazy term for an expansion team.
If the Flames had any real value players Brouwer wouldn't be considered but the junk we are offering to Vegas may prompt them to take the player they know?
