That's more what I meant.

The Flames couldn't afford Radulov even without Brouwer and Vanek can produce a bit of offense but is a floater with attitude problems who would barely be an upgrade to Brouwer.
Sure last season makes the signing look like a mistake but I'm willing to give Brouwer one more year to prove that was a fluke.
