A buyout or a trade with retained salary needs to happen, there is no way Brouwer can turn his career around in Calgary.

We currently have 9 forwards who all deserve more icetime over him and that won't change next year as the likes of Dube, Mangiapane etc. push for a job.

Cut our losses and accept this mistake by remedying it.

I hated the signing the instant I heard about it. It's a mistake to sign 30+ year olds who have not played in your organization to 4+ year long deals when they are significant cap hits. If you do it you don't want to do so for a career ~40pt/yr winger.
