I guess my point is that as overpaid as he is, Bouw fills a need that the Flames would have to replace if he were traded just to clear space. Then again, as our only face off man, so does Stajan, I suppose. Maybe a package of Babchuk and Backlund could net us the 2nd and 5th rounders we lack in 2013?
