I think Bouma makes it because he can easily fill a role on the 4th line and I think they would prefer to keep Neimsz down in the minors in a top 6 role if given the choice between the 2.
I don't see any other guy making the team in the next 2 years from the forward ranks (prospects) so it really appears to likely be about thee 2 guys right now.

Why? He played almost 30 games for the Oilers and played quite well. The biggest reason that he spent his season in Abbotsford was for rehabilitation purposes. I would not be surprised in the slightest if Stone came back up next year assuming that his injury is fully recovered
