I don't think buying out Brouwer and carrying an additional 1.5M in buyout penalty in 18/19, and then having Brouwer be the only buyout penalty on the books for the 3 years following 18/19 as a bad thing. It's certainly better than having him on the roster.

That is assuming Brad does not sign any more bad contracts in free agency. So far he has signed the following guys
Raymond - buyout
Engelland - good signing
Hiller - we survived it
Frolik - good signing
Brouwer - potential buy out
Versteeg - good signing
Jagr - released him mid season.
Stone - wait and see, not sure we won't be wanting to buy him out next year.
4 out of 8 questionable free agent signings and 2 buyouts does not lead one to believe we could avoid future buyouts. If I am the owners I am assuming Brad will make at least one terrible UFA signing every 2 years minimum.
