Brook had tremendous upside, but a knee injury took away a lot of his mobility.
This is a zero-risk gamble - if his knee is anywhere close to 100% and his mobility is back, he can be a fantastic prospect, and the Flames will have front-row seats to see if he is worth signing. If not, well, hopefully he can still be an effective AHL'er, and can continue having a career in hockey. Hopefully it works out.
