Well you would not need a cap dump thrown in then, if that is what Brouwer is. I don't really think anyone cares if the deal was Brouwer, 1st, Fox and Lazar to Vegas for Ovie, Flames still win that deal.
Ovie would score 25 power play goals with Johnny feeding him from the right half wall for a one timer of the left wall. Add in another 20 at even strength and he is a pretty good trigger man for one of the best passers in the game.

Looks pretty good to me. Add on Dougie, Gio, Brodie and hopefully Stone on the backend and that is a pretty solid team. If they could somehow get Graubner's rights in the deal all the better.
Ovie is a guy who in an "off" season got 33 goals, had 3 straight 50 goal seasons before that and was well on pace to hit 50 in the lockout year. A trade like that is pure gold for the Flames.
