They were built correctly and as soon as John Davidson moved out they took a big step backwards trading for Bouwmeester.
The Flames started on the right track dumping JBo.

Ludicrous statement. Bouwmeester was one of the best trade line pickups in years for any team. What exactly did they lose in that deal that would have made a difference today to make that a step backwards? Not a single roster player and a 1st round pick that's not going to be part of their future for years.
Bouwmeester has been good for them and defense is far from an issue in fact they are amongst the deepest in the league. They just need a game breaker or two on offence.
