I guess you might have a point if Bouwmeester hadn't put up more points in the shortened 2013 season than Odouya put up in any of the last 3 years.
Also, Martin is making $5M and Bouwmeester is putting up equivalent points while playing a bigger role on a worse team.
Its a lot of random stats and comparisons that do not really add up to anything.

No but Odouya and Martin playing a similar game as Bouwmeester were more successful under Sutter than Bouwmeester. The Bouwmeester supporters (relatives/agents?) are trying to pin Bouwmeester's unmigitated failure as a Flame on the coaching of Brent Sutter. Brent Sutter was one of the best coaches in the league before he got a team with Bouwmeester on it.
Bouwmeester's great season?????? 15 pts in 33 games around 40 pts season.... before he goes into quiet mode if the Flames were close to the playoffs. -11 in 33 games -24 in 82 games.
we were just had so little expectations of Bouwmeester that he didn't totally suck for a month or two he was considered great.
Honest to goodness Bouwmeester was leading the Flames to their worst season in the history of the Franchise and you can somehow say that Hartley was a better coach than Brent Sutter??? and Bouwmeester was having a great season when he was traded.
I doubt that Hartley was told his goal was to make Bouwmeester tradeable no matter how bad the team goes.
