He’s also better than a .6 pt/game player for two years now, not a half a point

And as for what he would get on the open market, that's not relevant at all. On the open market Brouwer got 4.5 million! If he hits the open market he will likely be over paid like most UFA's who hit free agency.
And over the last 2 years he was better than .6 points per game but the rest of the years he's about a .4 point per game player. You can't really just pick the years you want to take an average of. He hit his offensive peak last year, the year before that was even a bit high for him. He's a .5 point per game player over his career.
