This. Comparing this trade to the Regehr trade misses the fact that Regehr isn't making $6.6 million, with the cap about to be cut $10 million. Salary is a big deal -- at $3 million a year Bouwmeester would be hugely valuable, but at $6.6 he's a good player being paid as if he's Chara or Karlsson, and what you're paying him means another player you can't acquire or keep.
