Chara easily. Even though he's declining, he's still more likely to be the better point producer, still has a much higher perceived value and you'd be more likely to get Bouwmeester in the draft if you choose to do so.
Who would you rather keep?

I agree with horrorfan. Based on dobber's d-men ratings, which should fit very well your league settings, Bouwmeester is slightly higher. But given the rather minor difference in rating points (< 5) and the popularity of Chara, it will be easier to acquire Bouwmeester via draft.
Chara....not so close imo....

Chara.
He's the main cog and still the top presence in Beantown. Bouwmeester has Pietrangelo and Shatts getting the core points in St. Louis.
Chara without hesitation. I see Bouwmeester as a guy who will get at least 20 points but is not a lock for 30 points. Chara is a virtual lock for 30, a strong chance at 35, and a decent chance at something in the 40-50 point range.
I don't think it would be any great loss to drop Bouwmeester; there will always be guys in your draft every year who can fill that void. Just enjoy Chara's production for now and replace him when the time comes.

Chara and it's not really close. Bouwmeester had a hot start last year that defied most expectations, that and coupled with Chara being a fixture on the PP1 with a long contract, 40 points last year in even a somewhat down year for him... I don't see much debate on this. Bouwmeester is a long way from his Florida days and is counted on being a good pair to the offensive exploits of Pietrangelo.

I'll mimic all of the above posts. Not only does char represent a better offensive option but his name value far exceeds that of JBo.
Yep, Chara should be the easy choice here. He's still got some gas left in the tank.

An other vote for Chara.
Chara for me....Chara is a fitness nut and still logs tons of minutes.
Chara is still the man
Another vote for Chara.
Chara for me, there are lots of Bouwmeester-types available.
