At this point, I don't see why they don't just send Brouwer down to Stockton. They're not fooling any other GM in the league by keeping him around. Maybe he gets some confidence back. Maybe he becomes a good mentor for the kids. Maybe he gets a rash and needs to go longterm IR. But sending him down won't change his trade value.
Jankowski has value on the 4th line. And there is value to his development. He performed fantastically without good linemates through the pre-season.
