Let that sink in for a bit.

Troll as you might, none of your stated concerns is a real issue. Not only can the Flames retain salary if need be, but as Bouwmeester only has a year left on his contract after this one, term is not an issue, unlike with Campbell who had a high cap hit AND lengthy term left.
Bouwmeester will net a good return if moved. Unlike HF, GM's aren't prejudiced against players simply because they wear a Flames jersey's.
