Brouwer @ 50% + conditional 3rd (Perry puts up 40 points). for Corey Perry @ 25%. Perry has 3 years of 8.62m, so we take on the extra year of 6.47m. Keeps us under "Giordano/Gaudreau max"
Why do I trade for Perry?
1) Gets him off of Anaheim, one less POS to worry about.
2) 2 seasons back he was a 30 goal scorer. Still puts up 50 points regardless of him declining a little. Slot him next to Gaudreau and Monahan, you've got yourself a 30 goal scorer/60 point player easily.
3) 100x the player Brouwer is.
Gaudreau - Monahan - Perry
Tkachuk - Backlund - Lindholm
Bennett - Jankowski - Frolik
Klimchuk - Ryan - Shore
Lazar
Giordano - Brodie
Hanifin - Hamonic
Kulak - Stone/Andersson
UFA
Smith
Gillies (Rittich probably traded).
I put Klimchuk because I think he deserves a shot at the lineup. He's more of a bottom 6er than Mangiapane, who I feel would benefit more with another year in the AHL and compete for the middle 6 LW spot in a year. Same thing goes for Foo on the RW side. Stone would be an ideal trade too. I think Andersson won't be fully into the lineup until Stone is traded at the deadline.
