Kylington if we also obtained value in return
2nd round pick if we also obtained value in return (say a 3rd round pick).
Aside from Kulak there is very little in that list which is likely to play meaningful games for the Flames in the next 3 years. Brouwer's contract and negative on ice influence on his linemmates need to be removed from the team as soon as possible.

So they have no 2nd rounder next year so they'd be giving up the 2020 2nd. you can't go that long with so few picks. This is an asset weak franchise overall which is why I just don't think it makes sense to give up yet another asset for a bad contract. Particularly if that bad contract really isn't in the way right now.
One has to believe that Brouwer just isn't ineffective but actually a negative force on the team. I don't know that I believe that and thus wouldn't want to pay for someone else to take him.
