Confirmed Signing with Link: [CGY] Troy Brouwer (4 years, $4.500M AAV)

[Look Up]

Good signing.

 

[JS91]

Considering the other deals today this ain't too bad.

 

[BigRangy]

Good fit, but pricier than he should be. If he can stay in the top 6 for the duration of his contract it will be a good signing.

 

[Homesick]

I like Brouwer on the Flames. 4.5 is a little bit of a rocky price

Pfffssshh Its free agency. You're never going to win in this situation but its a good UFA signing

*puts on Oilers hat* bahahaha stupid Flames

 

[BHD]

One of the more reasonable deals of the day.

 

[Breakers]

Still too much money

 

[Quares27]

First longer contract today that isnt awful

 

[Hivemind]

Term is fine, but that's too much money for Troy Brouwer. Calgary better get their powerplay together, or else he's not scoring much at all.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Not thrilled with this one as a Flames fan. Too much cap for what he brings.

 

[perronist]

as a flames fan, i think this is the worst move that treliving has made to date

 

[DCDM]

as a flames fan, i think this is the worst move that treliving has made to date

As a Flames fan, I think you're very wrong.

 

[Church]

As an habs fan, this makes me feel better about the Andrew Shaw deal.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Are the goals wider and higher in Calgary?

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

A touch overpaid but free agency what ya gonna do. Not so bad as Lucic or others.

 

[Dertell]

That's pricey for a bad 3rd liner.

 

[Flaming Satan]

I'd say about a mil overpaid but I like the player.

 

[Donuts]

4 yrs at 4.5 yikes

 

[SaintMorose]

I like the term, I would have said a 14M deal would have been very good.
16M would have been fair.
18M is a bit high (better for Troy than Calgary) but easily managable.

Calgary needed to add 3 things
-a winger that can score 20+ goals
-a RHS natural RW
-players that are tougher to play against

I think Brouwer brings all 3 of these to the team and as mentioned by others he's a good leader and adds that to a very young forward core.

as a flames fan, i think this is the worst move that treliving has made to date

Mason Raymond?
Jonas Hiller?

 

[Cassano]

Horrendous. Brouwer sucks.

 

[Deen]

That's pricey for a bad 3rd liner.

He will be a great mentor for Bennett.

 

[Mitchy]

Awful, awful deal.

 

[Dertell]

Mason Raymond?
Jonas Hiller?

Both got significantly better deals.

 

[glasgow26]

Definitely too much for Brouwer, but hey that's free agency for you. Could be worse.

 

[PetterssonSimp]

IMHO this is the type of contract I figured he'd get and I hate it's with Calgary. They have the right type of forwards in the lineup already to utilize his talents most. Sucks. IMHO this is a type of move that'll be more impactful than a 7mil Lucic with Mcdavid would be

 

[Roughneck]

Well this deal will look real ugly in two years
