Maybe Treliving thought that Lucic contract with Oilers was way worse and he was getting a better deal signing Brouwer.
I mean if Lucic puts up 50 points on a $6M per for 7 years.....and Brouwer puts up 40 points at $4.5 per for 4 years.....
Treliving might have just looked at that and thought Brouwer was a better deal...
Rival teams are known to make reactionary moves....especially when a guy like Burke has a say and would have just been like we need to do something to toughen up now that they got Lucic.

We signed Brouwer because we needed a top9 R shot winger. Whether he is that at this point is debatable, but that's why.
And intangeables yadda yadda
