The Calgary Flames continued cleaning house by trading Jay Bouwmeester to the St. Louis Blues for a conditional 1st round pick, 22 year old defenseman Mark Cundari and 26 year old goalie Reto Berra from Switzerland.
If the Blues don't make the playoffs, Calgary gets a 4th round pick this year and the 1st round selection next season (2014).
I like this deal for both sides as it shores up
back end and gets an expensive contract out of
as they continue to get younger. The prospects aren't special but the 1st rounder if the Flames get it this season should be solid as the draft is looking very deep.
