Brouwer at $3M for Vegas is a pretty good deal. The only question is Brouwer's NTC.

Assuming Vegas even wants Brouwer, that would open a spot for either Lazar or Freddie, with Bart as the 8th d-man. Waiving Bart would allow us to call up either Hathaway or Janko.
I doubt Vegas takes that deal though.
