I realize that, but Bouma is a very good AHLer at this point, in his role at least. Now added are the losses of Baertschi and Walter. The team has lost a lot of its offence. The last month alone, it's been either Walter/Baertschi's line scoring or Street's line scoring. They haven't been putting up much offence at the same time lately. Now we've completely lost a whole line.
The other players are really just role players that play well defensively and it's a nice bonus if they score. It's going to be hard for the Heat to hold their position at the top without some regular scorers.
