this one had gotten mixed reactions (I am unsure who suggested it) from both Flames and Islanders fans. Although I don't think the Islanders want a big contract and I don't think Bouwmeester waives his NTC to go there. (That and I feel Bouwmeester is worth more than that)
to NYI:
Jay Bouwmeester
1st in 2012
to CGY:

No thanks.
1.Jaybo has a ntc and won't waive it for the nyi.
2.Jaybo is not worth $6.6m per.He'd be the highest paid isles by over $2m.
Isles need better bang for thier limited bucks.
3.He is a ufa in 2 yrs.Snow's trade demand at the last two drafts, was for a high end youngster,several yrs from unrestricted free agency.
Bailey's been a good pk player for couple of seasons now.
He's not the Leafs answer for a top 6 center.
Several weeks ago,the isles finally came to see what fans have been saying for over a yr now :Bailey is more effective on the wing then at center.Isles moved Bailey to the 2nd line lw spot and he's playing a lot better.I guess it's less responsibility.
Also,I' m not sure Snow is a big enough Schenn fan,to package Bailey and a high 2nd for Schenn.
As a leaf fan bailey isn't enough of an upgrade to move schenn out for me.

for Christ sake do you just like to argue? I know what you think, we know you undervalue Bouwmeester and overvalue anything to do with the Islanders. But other Isles fans (you do know there is more than you right?) thought it was good value.

The frustrating part is that fans on message boards, have been calling for Bailey to be moved to wing since last season.Now,with only several weeks in the season,Cappy makes the move and gets the type of play the team needed early in the season.
No way to tell if Bailey's turning the corner or just teasing fans

There are plenty of nyi posters on the nyi boards,who responded to the Jaybo proposal with comments about how he's never lived up to his potental,asking what's happened to him since leaving FL.,posters saying he's not worth his salary,how they'd only want him if he came cheaply.
Btw,newsflash,Snow's opinion and trade demands matter.Not the opinions of armchair gms/armchair scouts
I would incinerate every piece of CBJ merchandise I have, then form my own counter-protesting group, if either one of these happened. That's after going on a monthlong bender.
If they have a chance for a top pairing defenseman they should jump all over it irregardless of how physical the player is.
so youre saying that garth should trade down --in the neighborhood of-- ten draft spots for a guy that meets only ONE aspect of his requirements for trading that pick?
to me, that doesnt sound very smart on his part my man....

then he can keep his pick, because he he won't move down about 7 spots for a #1 defenseman he is off his rocker.
But I guess I shouldn't have included it as realistic because we all know no one with a choice of where they go will waive to join the Islanders

GEE........do you think thats why garth is trying to build his team WITHOUT giving up top picks?
i really doubt that garth is the only general manager that has certain requirements for his first round pick.
any and every hockey fan knows that top free agents wont sign on the island, just as players with clauses wont waive their clauses for long island.
do you really think you just provided the hockey fans of the world with anything we didnt already know?
