and today Bouwmeester is the second highest scoring d-man on a 14th place team..... a team so devoid of hope that they traded away their franchise HOF player for crap shot futures.
Do you think that other teams do not see this and will concentrate on Bouwmeester being adequate on a losing team for a 10 game stretch where they never challenged for a playoff spot?
In the last 3 years has there been more than 20 games that Bouwmeester has been worth the $84,463 The Flames pay him every game?
IF there is someone who is desperate enough to take a chance on Bouwmeester they will not be offering anywhere what people on this board are hoping for.
Not only does his is -11 plus/minus the worst on the Flames defense there are only 7 NHL defensemen with a worse plus minus.
His scoring out-burst has him tied for 31st in NHL defenseman scoring.
For this his last year in his contract is paying him the 10th highest cap hit in the NHL for Defenseman.....
If Feaster can get any asset back for this salary dump he might deserve another 6 months to hang on to his job.
