But it seems more likely a Chiasson as a cheap roster spot is more likely. Maybe Bouma.
Edit: And I would add, BT should not add a sweetner for Vegas to pick Brouwer. We don't absolutely need the cap relief (although it is always helpful) and we are not at risk of losing anyone particularly valuable.

Chaisson depends on whether they want to use one of their 10 available RFA/UFA picks on him.
I'm not terribly upset if Brouwer stays. If he is healthy, with an axe to grind, he could easily become a player worth something like his salary. Brouwer playing well is probably better than Chiasson playing well.
If they go Kulak, that doesn't fuss me at all. I'd like to keep Shinkaruk though. I think he can make it.
