I think that is a lot of hindsight is 20/20.
I think the expectations initially were fair. He was coming off 4 straight ~40 point seasons from Florida, not necessarily a strong team (they did have Jokinen though) where he was considered elite. He just didn't live up to those expectations with a flames sweater.
I did like Bouw as a flame though, unlike some. Glad he got a cup with the blues.
