There have also been rumors in the past of Bouwmeester wanting to go to Edmonton.
So... he's a young winger with offensive potential and size. He's also someone that is rumored to be available. The real point behind the trade, though, is swapping the first-round picks. Who has a pretty good chance of picking high in the first round? Edmonton. Do they want or have a need for Bouwmeester? Yes. Do they have someone that might be available, and is a legit blue-chip prospect forward? Yes, Paajarvi.

2goals in 42 is a far from blue-chip. maybe red.
