A lot of the Bouwmesster analysis has just been lazy. Yes, the Flames have been a bad organization for a while. But that doesn't make every single move made by the organization bad. Two months ago, people would have laughed if they said you could have gotten a 1st rounder for Bouwmeester. If you're telling me a lot more is out there, I'm going to need a better argument than "nyuk, nyuk, Flames are the suxxor."

Last week, John Shannon laughed at Jeff Marek and said no one would take Bouwmeester's contract. So who to believe between talking heads?
