I don't like him for this team, but put him on a team like the Blues, who could use somebody to play with Pietrangelo, where he isn't asked or expected to be the best defenceman on the team, and I think he'd be good.

Exactly why would the Blues want Bouwmeester at 6.8M? they already have a reclamation project in Redden at 1M cap hit.
Really who would you rather have Bouwmeester or Redden?? Redden has never played at the low level Bouwmeester has for the last 2 years. He got caught in Sather over spending and rather than blow up the whole team they just picked the biggest contract that they could get along without and buried him.
If the Flames were able waive Bouwmeester absolutely no one picks him up.
