Here we have a discreet example of how Brouwer's terrible contract is hurting the Flames' roster building. Without paying $4 million for a 4th liner we'd be able to fit Jagr in easily. At the end of the day, these bad contracts come back to bite you.

Sure, but again:
every team has them and there is no getting around that fact. It
will happen.
If Brouwer's contract is the worst on the team, that's pretty damn good. There is no such thing as perfection. Some players are going to regress and not live up to their contract. Guaranteed. It happens to every team.
Whining about Brouwer every time a cap discussion comes up, does nothing to solve the problem.
