Bouwmeester expected to net the Flames a "hefty" return
Bouwmeester expected to net the Flames a "hefty" return
I don't know how many of you caught this, but on tonight's Kings/Flames broadcast on TSN, Gord Miller mentioned that if the Flames were to put Jay Bouwmeester on the trading block, he would net the Flames a "substantial" return, especially as we get closer to the trade deadline.
Bouwmeester's having his best season as a Flame. He's still relatively young, only has 1 year remaining on his contract, and eats up minutes like crazy! The demand for puck-moving defencemen is also sky high.
Expect the Flames to get back at least one (maybe two) 1st round draft picks, a blue chip prospect, plus a young roster player! And then wait till the rest of the guys (Iginla, Kiprusoff, Tanguay, Cammalleri, etc.) get put on the block!

My mouth is already starting to water.
Two first round picks and a blue chip? Yea....
I saw how much Kovalchuck and the likes got... He's not going to haul in Kessel level value (we know how that deal went).
I see a team like Detroit offering Filppula, Kindl and Frk.

Sorry, Gord Miller forget to mention the OR in "substantial": 1st round draft pick OR a blue chip prospect OR a young roster player!

Are we talking about Bouwmeester or Erik Karlsson?
And unless it has changed recently, the Flames owners didn't seem interested in rebuilding and therefore I doubt they would trade Bouwmeester for picks and/or youngsters.
Well isn't this nice. A guy starts a "speculation" topic, expecting and demanding insane overpayment for a player and then looks down his nose going "no" when the offers come.
Reminds me of the "Value of: 1st overall (Yakupov)" -threads here before the draft where the Oilers fans would scuff at all the very reasonable offers.
