A little sad to see Bouma go. He spent 10 years in the organisation and wow was he ever fun to watch in the 2014-15 season.
I thought he could still contribute in a 13th forward/injury replacement roll with money saved by putting him in the minors if needed. I suppose it is good to give Bouma and the Flames a clean slate however and hopefully the saved cap space is used wisely tomorrow.

Good riddance. He should have been sent packing after the Super Bowl thing. As a veteran player he should have known better.

I’m always amazed these sportscasters and announcers can call the game with McDavid’s **** in their mouths all the time.

Thought he was going to be be a "beauty." Not a star by any means, but a blood 'n' guts consummate team guy who did the little things well. Disappointed he didn't become that.

Disagree, unless you're advocating for dumping Johnny and Mony too. Giving extra leeway to your star players would set a very poor example going forwards, IMO.

They were rookies IIRC, he wasn't

According to some earlier posts in this thread, his isn't the only body he laid.
Hey-oooo
Seriously though, I loved Bouma. If he could have replicated his career year I would have bought a Bouma jersey, for many years he was the definition of heart and soul team first player. It's a shame he couldn't keep it up, but either way, Thanks Lance!
Best of luck, Lance (unless you join the Oil or Canucks)!
I've always liked the player and he was a nice guy when I met him. In fact, he complimented me on my horrific November 'stache. Good guy.

Right, it happened in 2015-16… which was Monahan's third year in the league and Gaudreau's second, exactly as Textcritic said. (I think he's still counting 2016-17 as ‘this season’, which I suppose is the best kind of correct until the contracts expire at midnight tonight.)
