The few games I watched him he was paired with Pietrangelo.

Playing fewer minutes, it seems.

He averaged slightly over 20 minutes for the Flames this season.

Bouwmeester IMO, finds himself in an awesome situation in St. Louis because they have a great mix of D-men and he's not going to be forced to be the sole provider of any certain aspect for them.
They have minute munchers in Pietrangelo, Shattenkirk and Jackman.
They have offensive guys in Pietrangelo and Shattenkirk.
They bigger, physical, defensive guys in Jackman, Polak and Cole.
All the above provide a great mix of veteran leadership and youthful enthusiasm.
Plus they also added Leopold at the deadline as well.
Really, it was a perfect fit for the guy IMO.

Just heard Ken Holland on Hockeycentral at Noon talking about the need to acquire a top defenseman at the trade deadline. He said that parting with a first round pick wasn't something they were willing to do given that there is a good chance they could miss the playoffs and end up picking in the 12-15 spot. He said that if they were firmly entrenched in the top half of the conference and looked to be a lock for the playoffs (picking in the 20+ spot) they would have been much more open to trading their first round pick.
Not sure exactly what deal McGuire is referencing but if it didn't include a first round pick I'm not sure how it could have been better than the one Feaster obtained from St. Louis.

Detroit most likely offered better prospects. They have a fairly deep prospect pool, and many believe they're willing to part with a few of their guys.

I'm actually glad the Flames took the magic beans instead of the half baked prospects from another team.
I still can't believe that Calgary actually has 3 first round picks this year.

Just consider that in the 15-35 range Jay Feaster has drafted 18.5 games of NHL play through 4 players, and like he did last year, the guys he took in that range were considered high ceiling guys that were years away. They all busted.
The magic beans are always going to be worth more, but if you're offered a prospect that is developing along a nice curve that is sometimes just as valuable. I for one would have taken Rattie, a 2nd and other pieces over that pick. Rattie looks a good bet to be at least a 2nd line winger and if Feaster managed to find a top 6 guy like that in the 16-23 range, we'd be ecstatic.

If they weren't going to give up their 1st round pick... they also likely weren't giving up their top prospects.

Agree and disagree. I think Jay Feaster himself has very little to do with the drafting. He seems to defer to the scouting staff, so its really whether or not you have faith in our current scouting staff. Its too difficult to compare his drafting with the Flames to his drafting with Tampa. Agree on the fact that prospects are generally worth more. You've got more certainty and require less time investment in order to get a return.

5 games as a Blue and the are unbeaten, 3 straight shutouts. Not even close all because of him but him and Pietrangelo are playing solid minutes.

Not necessarily. The Wings didn't want to give up a top 15 pick that could turn into a top 12 or even top 10. It's the same reason why the Blues protected this year's first round pick. But unlike the Blues, the Wings have an aging core and are likely going to drop even further in the standings next year.

Yep. It's Weisbrod running the draft. Presumably, Feaster agrees with Weisbrod's vision.
