Because those 30 minutes a night have really been a positive more than they've been a negative for his 4 seasons here...
I think what you're arguing is exactly why we should be getting rid of him. He plays 30 minutes a night and rarely makes a positive difference. Someone who plays that much should be a bigger difference maker, and not for the other team.
I'm just glad his trade value is as high as it's ever been with the Flames. Because of the no defence approach by Hartley he's been able to get his points and looks like someone another team would want. I think we'd be much better without him. 27 other teams don't have a Bouwmeester and are doing just fine.
Get rid of him before people realize he's been a huge part of the losing attitude this team has had over the last 4 years. I don't want him anywhere near our prospects or younger players. Figure skaters show more emotion than Bouwmeester. I can't wait until this bum is off the team.
