Jay Bouwmeester @ $6.68M cap hit playing 24 mins a game, getting slightly less shifts than Giordano and just slightly more than Wideman, make him expendable in my opinion.
With Brodie being able to skate very well and move the puck wisely and wideman being easily our best defender. Finding a more physical and cost effective defenceman while adding a top 60 pick, would be a smart move.
Remember to sell high, and this is about as high as Bouw will get. Im not saying hes useless. Just not cost effective and we could turn one asset in to plenty.
Dont forget, He whiffed the puck while trying to make a routine up and out and then let Statsny go to the front on the game winner against Colorado.
he has shown moments of brilliance, but hes also shown moments of same ol' same ol'.
