Irregardless Bouwmeester is likely more valuable to the Flames than he is to most other clubs and trading him for the sake of trading him is a stupid thing to do.
Also I have to say I am excited to have Bouwmeester play under a different coach. I think he is the Flame that will benefit most from Hartley.

Don't get me wrong, I prefer JayBo to Subban in a pure shutdown role as well. The issue is that Subban does so much more than just shutdown other players. I would love JayBo in a shutdown role, but not at the 6.68 million he makes.
I agree that Calgary should keep him, and he will greatly improve under Hartley. I think that, if any coach can help get Calgary into the playoffs, it will be Hartley. I was hoping Montreal would hire him. Calgary will love the guy. Good luck to one of my favorite Western Conference teams!
