I'd love to see Tre swap Brouwer for Beleskey out of Boston. At least you can expect bottom 6 minutes and improved defensive play from Beleskey and he wouldn't have to come and be a leader, just a consistent contributor. Brouwers style of play is better suited for Boston than it is for possession-first Gulutzan hockey anyway. They both have 3 years left on their deals and have not fit in with their respective teams. I'd say it's worth a shot!

He has a full NTC through this season that switches to a modified NTC for the following two seasons. Trading Brouwer is going to be a lot harder than at first thought.
I honestly think the best thing we can do is give him another shot this year; he was one of our better forwards out of the gate last year but slowed down and ran into injury problems mid season.
If we can get 20/20 for 40 or so points out of him it's not a bad contract.
