You obviously wouldn't subtract Bouwmeester without adding another Dman. $6.7M in salary could buy something decent. I honestly think (and have for awhile) that getting him off of this team is instant addition by subtraction.

I agree but the time to do that was in the summer. I don't see a team trading a top 6 centermen or a 2nd pairing dman with grit for Bouw during the season. The only thing he could probably get back is, picks, prospects, and 3rd liners. None of that will help this season in making the playoffs and trying to convince Iggy to re-sign.
