He can skate, but is lazy and doesn't seem to care.
Also, why give up Phillips leadership and experience for him?

If Murray added Bouwmeester tomorrow, I'd be ok with it I guess... but if the decision was left in my hands, for what I think the Flames will be looking for in exchange for J-bow, I'd probably pass.
I would like to define some logic? Do people really think Calgary would trade any of their players that they so call perceive as valuable players?? And what I mean is players Like Iginla, Kipper, Bow, Wideman, Glencross, Cammaleri, Hudler, Stempniak etc. The Flames have made it clear more than once that they are not trading anyone and will only be buyers! I am not saying this to be harsh but its so obvious that with this ownership group THERE Will be no Rebuild, No Emphasis on Youth, and just build this team through FREE AGENCY!
And for that I feel sorry for the Calgary Flames Fan Base Cause I know they deserve better With Murray Edwards as the Owner and Jay Feaster as the GM nothing will change and you guys have seen what Feaster is made of. He tried to Trade for Rick Nash, didn't work, he offered Brad Richards I believe a 10 year contract, HE Didn't want to go, He tried to sign Ryan O'Reilly but didn't do his due diligence and if Calgary got him they would of had to place him on waivers and Columbus at the time would of got a CHRISTMAS Present and Colorado would of got their 1st and 3rd Round picks and would of set the team back 10 years.
But if he was available I would easily say no, Bow is not a player I;m interested in and I am sure most fans agree and with the price Feaster would Demand. NO WAY, NO WAY Calgary Even Touches any of our prized Prospects with that Organization. But I mean this by no offense

Oops didn't mean to quote you, I was inclined to click the reply but forgot, probably because how late it is
I dont think Bouwmeester is available for the right offer.
Stick to the rebuild, and maybe sign a placeholder UFA, preferrably not for 7 million either.

I don't buy the "not a winner" stuff. Bouwmeester's a fine D-man, and he'd look really good here playing on a 2nd pairing with Wiercioch or Cowen. The salary thing isn't an issue since the Sens have a ton of cap space and his deal is up at the end of next season.
That being said I don't think the need for another PMD is so great that it's worth giving up any top prospects for him. I'd deal something like
Hoffman/Pageau
Filatov/Schneider
3rd/4th rd pick
but I doubt Calgary would go for that. It probably depends how badly they want to get rid of him.

So Hoffman, Filatov and a 4th? I'm not big on Bouwmeester, but I'd do that deal.
... That being said, if we ever offered that to Calgary, Feaster's response would undoubtedly be:
Mark Effin Stone
I miss Kuba
Bouwmeester is a good mobile d-man and gets to much hate on HF imo, if Calgary is looking to unload that contract I would be interested but I doubt they will.
I think he would be really good in MacLean's system considering how mobile he is.

Let's be fair here: Bouwmeester is overpaid and has been disappointing (that phrase actually describes pretty much everyone on the team outside Iginla and maybe Kiprusoff). He's signed for #1 D-man money, and clearly isn't capable of filling that role.
Plus like I said, we're not desperate for PMD's right now. Also I think we could probably get Ballard from the Canucks for even less than that lowball offer for Bouwmeester.

No way in hell. If Melnyk is ready to add 6.7 million to the budget, put that towards Mr. Perry.

If he appeared on the team, I wouldn't complain. But I think for the assets required to get him (both player/picks and money) I'd rather not make a play for him. People saying he wouldn't help the team are crazy, but I don't think the help he'd bring would offset what we have to give up, so pass.

Let's be reality they will ask for at least one of Zibanejad, Silfverberg or 1st.

If we want a Bouwmeester why don't we just sign a top 4 defenseman to a 6.6M deal in the offseason? Offer a defenseman like Streit 6.6M instead of trading major assets for an overpaid top 4 defender
