Save 9 million on Brouwer/Brodie
Bobby Ryan can be bought out next year if he can't find his game. (Buying out his contract doesn't cost flames too much, its not all signing bonuses like Lucic)
Flames get a lottery pick this year (Dahlin/Tkachuk)
Brodie is expendable with all the Defensive depth in the system (also somewhat replaced by Oduya)
