Troy Brouwer, we hardly knew ye.
Well, that’s not quite true: Brouwer played two seasons for the Flames, scoring 19 goals and 47 points over 150 games. Initially pegged to be the Flames’ saviour on the right wing, he tumbled down the lineup, going from top six forward to bottom six. In his first year as a Flame he averaged 16:13 a game; in his second, 13:56.
On Thursday, the Flames placed him on unconditional waivers for the purposes of buying him out. He has cleared them. And now, two years into his four-year contract, Brouwer is no longer a Calgary Flame as the club has announced he has officially been bought out.
