Question 6: Ideally speaking, who do you hope Vegas picks up?

Jonathan Boulanger

Brouwer or Matt Stajan.

Alex Hoegler

I think it’s best for the Flames if Vegas takes Brouwer. Per CapFriendly,com, he has three years left at $4.5 million a season. Given all the depth they have at forward, it’s best if Vegas simply takes his contract off their hands. Life is like a box full of chocolates, you never know when saving $4.5 million can be helpful.

Dan Raicevich

Troy Brouwer, Lance Bouma or Matt Stajan. Any of these three would be ideal if they can go to Vegas. All three are great guys in the locker room, but they do not provide much upside for this team.

Ramina Shlah

Ideally, no doubt is Troy Brouwer. With him being in a bad contract right now, it’ll be good to get him off the Flames hands (sorry Brouwer).
