At the end of the game down 1 goal you want Bouwmeester out instead of Shattenkirk and Pietroangelo.
As the highest paid Blue (pending Pietroangelo's contract) the answer should be a resounding Of course!!
Is Bouwmeester any where as good as Bogosian ?? 5.1 Or Byfuglien 5.2 or hamhuis 4.5 or even Elder at 5M?
After the destruction Bouwmeester inflicted on the Flames Org I would not want him at 2M but using the above comparables his market value s/b 3M max.

One who chooses to respond with spite and unsubstantiated high drama does not enhance his viewpoint.
Bottom line is that the first time Bouwmeester ever played with an above average cast, in the NHL, he excelled.
Destroyed the Flames? Laughable.
Fifth best D on the Blues? Delusional!
