But trading him on his Cap Hit was always going to be hard and not a lot of value was ever coming back the other way.
And St. Louis has done great things with Bouwmeester...I think they won....no they didnt.

This isn’t accurate
He had a great year in Calgary and was good enough to be on Team Canada
He never had the offence that fans hoped but a dman that logs his minutes and is good enough to make team Canada’s blue line is a quality player
And he was signed for one more year so there was minimal risk
He was a good asset
