One thing to remember is that in 2011 McPhee traded for Brouwer's negotiation rights and signed him to a decent deal. Brouwer played very well for him. McPhee tehn gave Brouwer a three year extension and Brouer then had his career season (lockout year). McPhee was fired before Brouwer was moved, so he may never have soured on him.
IMO fan familiarity can cause over and under-valuations. We probably over-value Bennett/Ferland/Lazar at this point and under-value Brouwer.
