For all we know, they were pushing Feaster hard to accept a 1st straight up for Bouw and Feaster took St. Louis' offer. Hell, maybe Bouw didn't want to play in Detroit, as that team is all kinds of a mess right now. And if there's any team a defenceman can go to ruin their Iron Man streak... it's there.

This is true, my post was simply to counter dino7's since he suggested we had no idea if detroit was interested at all.
I'd say it's clear they were interested in Bouw for a long while (probably since Lidstrom retired). What they were offering this week is really irrelevant. If there are two known parties interested in acquiring the services of a player, Feaster likely could have played it up more - but I suspect he's not done with the fire sale - and likely has a lot on his plate with the rumors of kipper and glencross alone - not to mention tanguay, cammi, and giordano rumors we've seen mentioned on this board in the last couple days.
