They also had Gio for the last 4 disappointing seasons, and I didn't highlight Gio on my list.
And whether I would trade for Bouwmeester is irrelevant because that takes into consideration the age of the player, the contract, and the make up of the hockey team.
This is simply in regards to if I would take Bouwmeester over any of those players right now for Team Canada and the answer to that question is yes.
Bouwmeester at this point in time is better then Brodie and Wideman when you aren't considering age, what the Flames team needs are, and contract.
Especially on the big ice surface Bouwmeester's speed, and skating are a huge asset and his strong stick play is also beneficial.
I am not sure how you can include Jeff Petry on any list for team Canada and honestly try to back that up.
