The management team has probably not made up their mind, and won't until they know what their roster is like. My main point with that previous post is that Lazar getting protected over Brouwer is not a foregone conclusion like some have asserted. I wouldn't be surprised if it went either way.

I simply can't see why on earth they protect the $4.5M 4th liner they signed last summer and failed to live up to even modest expectations over the 22 year old they gave a good pick to acquire. Lazar is often talked about being a long term play and potential core piece. They don't risk losing him to protect the overpaid veteran. It makes no sense imo.
