this is what teams have to give up if the Flames decide not to match an offer sheet for Bouma


even in giving up a 3rd round pick you are arguably overpaying Bouma for his services. Flames still probably match on principle.
Flames probably start thinking about not matching in the 2nd round pick range, but what GM is going to give up a 2nd for an overpaid Bouma?

any NHL team signing Bouma to an offer sheet is an exercise in futility
Sounds like a move MacT is destined to make. $3.5 for our buddy Lance, Mac.
