Brouwer's contract won't be a big hindrance until probably the 2019-20 season when Tkachuck, Ferland, Bennett and possibly Jankowski need new deals. This screw up can be disposed of by then at only a $1.5M hit over 2 years which isn't too bad.
Lucic's contract though should scare any team. The cap hit itself isn't obscene, but it's buy out proof. He receives so much money in signing bonuses that a buy out doesn't do much in terms of cap savings. No GM outside of Chiarelli should touch it.
