The total mistake is worth the total amount they paid Brouwer. Today was just the admission of that mistake.

But it's not like if they didn't sign Brouwer, the owners would now have $16M more in their pockets or anything - the Flames are a cap team and were going to spend to the cap, whether it was on Brouwer or someone else.
The player didn't work out, no. So it was a roster mistake. But the money was being spent anyway.
