Think about it, he's going want to go to a contender and contenders usually have money to spend and will find a way to shoehorn a player of Bouwmeester's calibre, they are not looking to nickel and dime. Consider that Lombardi has been the only player since the CBA to have the team eat salary. Also consider the fact that Bouw has a NTC and is probably only willing to go to a contender which limits the market as well and eating salary may not be a factor with that team. If anything, take a bad contract back instead of eating salary.

Is every top pairing defender in the NHL worth 6.7 mil? Let me see... 30 teams... that's 60 top pairing defensemen in the league... only 10 defensemen make more than Bouwmeester... looks like Bouwmeester is paid in the top 16 per cent for top pairing defensemen. Do you think he's regarded around the NHL as that calibre of a player - better than 84 per cent of top-pairing defensemen?
