I think part of it is that we over-value our guys and under-value other players, especially those who we haven't heard of. This trade may look better when that first round pick is made and it is a guy the team is high on, or if the cap space generated allows the Flames to grab another asset during the cap compliance period.

There is no worse value for 6.7 M than Bouwmeester.
When PIETRANGELO and Shattenkirk come to get paid in their RFA year and point to them being >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bouwmeester and that ROR is getting 6.5 then they will expect to be getting 6-7M on long term deals.
The Blues will regret this trade..... They will be offering Bouwmeester and a second to someone who will take his salary.
