a 30 point forward and a 4th. (Simon Bourque for a 7th round pick balances out)
No one is going to do the Flames a favour and take Brouwer's salary for just a mid or low pick. Even with salary retention, it will be a hard deal to make.

How does it work when a team trades a player with salary retained, then the receiving team buys out the player? Does the cap structure of the original team then change to adapt to the buyout pattern, or are they only on the hook for the original years of the contract when the player was traded?
Not sure if I’m making much sense. If we were to trade Brouwer now with 50% retained, and the other team buys him out, does the other team’s decision to buy him out affect our cap hit / duration, as if he were bought out by us (but 50% cheaper)?
