The Calgary Flames are meeting with Jay Bouwmeester and his agent today. In less than 48 hours he can talk to any team he wants to, so hard to see the logic behind rushing into a new contract.

Sun Media’ s Terry Jones believes the Flames traded for Bouwmeester’s rights, in part, to keep him out of Edmonton (J-Bo’s home town). Jones wonders why the Oilers haven’t shown much interest. He feels that J-Bo would put Edmonton over the top, and also allow them to make moves for a center.
