Plus it's financially cheaper in real dollars to trade Brouwer @50% retained than it is to buy him out. 4.5 million versus 6 million (buy out costs) when comparing apples to apples. However, that doesn't take into account the hardship of adding an asset to make such a trade happen. If they add Klimchuck, for example, to sweeten the deal, what's the financial value?
I would argue it's more complicated than just the 1.5 million difference if you account for Klimchucks salary over the years, the scouts salary, cost of development camps, and AHL coaches.
