It's a numbers game and it's pretty clear that the only spot for Brouwer after all the moves is the 4th line. He isn't going to play over Neal or Frolik. If the Flames stick to Monahan, Backlund and Ryan as their top 3 centers, there's zero chance they shovel Lindholm down to the 4th line center role, which means he moves to RW.
I wonder if Treliving can work something out with Arizona to offload Brouwer given his relationships with that organization and the Coyotes' willingness to take on heavy contracts?
