TBF, Brouwer was a consistent 18-25 goal guy. That's $4.5M value. In hindsight obviously not.
To me, the Stone deal is a little harder to justify as of the day it was made - Treliving held a lot more cards - Stone is married to a Calgarian, had bought a house in Calgary and really wanted to be here. And he was going to be a bottom pairing guy in Treliving's LT plans. Three years at $3.5 doesn't seem like good value. Plus, the same guys who are pushing for Kulak's job were in the system, albeit a year further out.
