that bouwmeester deal is pretty great for the blues. I think bouwmeester was smart in taking the necessary discount to play on a team and in a role that suits him very very well.
I think the leafs have to make this deal. the numbers aren't that bad considering where the cap projections are over the term being discussed.
It would have been awesome if he took bouwmeester type salary, as it would have allowed the leafs to build a stronger defense around him, rather than his salary being the only justification for viewing him as a #1 dman, which he is not.
