A Brouwer buyout next off-season would result in a $1.5 million cap hit for the next 4 seasons. Not ideal but manageable if Brouwer continues his terrible play.
If you don't count Stajan with only one year left on his deal, Brouwer is the only bad contract on the Flames. Probably a better situation than most teams.
Other contracts that might turn into bad ones would be Giordano's if his play declines significantly. Stone if the advance stat guys are correct or Smith if he can't be at least an average quality goalie.
