Feaster needed to trade him early this summer to the highest bidder. Even if it was way less than he wanted. I would have even settled for the blues offer of D'agostini and a 2nd at the draft. He could have spent the money saved on another 2nd pairing d man with a bit of grit. Now the only way the flames are trading Bouw is if we are out of it. Nobody is going to give a top 6 player for him. Trade him for a pick now with no dmen available and flames have no chance of playoffs. Basically if we are making playoffs this year Bouw will be on this team. I shudder to think what his game would be like in the playoffs.
