And again, no one is arguing that Bouwmeester is a bad player - there are dozens of fantastic hockey players that can't make TC. Jay is a solid player but that doesn't change the fact that Giordano and Brodie are both better.
No one is saying all the roster decisions were the right ones. But its just as ridiculous to claim with certainty that player X would have been better than Bouwmeester. I think you have to acknowledge that in total, the guys building the team really showed they knew what they were doing.

I wouldn't trade Brodie or Giordano for Bouwmeester, but I don't think those 2 guys are viewed around the league as the biggest snubs either.
