If Tre has to admit a mistake he will, but Brouwer is still NHL caliber for now. He's just the new whipping boy currently.

Big difference, as Brouwer is on a $4.5M cap hit and the cap relief would be about $900,000 (IIRC).
Plus, while he would pass through waivers on the way down, if they ever wanted to bring him back, can't someone pick him up for half his cap hit for nothing? Or am I imagining that rule?
Sending him done, in any event, destroys any value he has to the team, and would likely mean he could never be moved. He needs to play with the hope he can establish some value.
