CGY says yes to this without thinking much about it. Namestnikov is a very capable C/W. Launching Brouwer's salary for a retained Top 5 dman is better than anything else to get (maybe VAN would pay a 3rd rounder for Brouwer, but who knows).
Fox is already hinting he might do that thing that some NCAA prospects do (ie. not sign with the team that drafted him). NYR is a place he would want to be long-term (he's American and played at Harvard).
Getting a useful dman and Namestnikov for this package is pretty logical for CGY. Would be optimal if they turned around and sold Staal/Namestnikov to someone else for draft picks.
