There were expectations and he failed to meet the minimums and it wasnt due to lack of opportunity.

Has any player ever been bought out of a 1 year contract?

Good for him getting a contract. It just pains me a little that we are paying him while he plays, earning a good little chunk of change from the Panthers as well, while someone like Versteeg is kicking tires in the KHL.
Life is not always fair.

At least the pay cheque is correct for what he brings to the party.

Debatable. Prefer to let young players battle for that spot than give to a declining veteran.

"My numbers in Calgary over the past two years were not how I feel reflect the player that I am…"
As in they're inflated because you had about double or triple the ice time/PP time you deserved? Not quite sure where he's trying to go with this.

No need to wait. If you watch any Panthers game this year you'll probably hear me screaming it from the stands.

The size fetishes are pretty absurd. Gimme Versteeg 10/10 times before Brouwer.

Please do it while lifting up your Panthers jersey to reveal a Flames shirt underneath. Just so he gets the message.

Scoring Winger

'When the opportunity arrived to come to Florida and play for the Panthers, we were really excited about it," Brouwer said. "It's a phenomenal young team, a great place to live and something my family is really looking forward to."
I'm exactly positive that this was almost verbatum what he said when he came to Calgary. 6 hours on the job, and he's already phoning it in.

Friday Jan 11, Flames vs Panthers. Aka “Welcome back Troy Brouwer” night. Looking forward to the music montage.
CP group ticket buy so we can heckle him in person?
