Unbelievable. Another team who thinks the cap is $80M. (Flyers the other) I hope he doesn't sign there.
The Panthers have traded the 25-year-old star defenceman's rights to the Calgary Flames for blueliner Jordan Leopold and a third round pick.
Despite trade rumours that swirled around him on deadline day, Bouwmeester, 25, remained in Florida, playing out the final year of his contract, which allowed him to become an unrestricted free agent at season's end.
The native of Edmonton, Alberta played his entire six-year career with the Panthers after being selected third overall by the club in 2002. He had 15 goals and 27 assists in 82 games this season.
Leopold, 28, was a second round (44th overall) daft pick of the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in 1999. In 355 NHL games, the Golden Valley, Minnesota, naitive has 29 goals and 80 assists with a minus- 15 rating.
Leopold is set to become an unrestriced free agent on July 1.
