He's got a good, low, deflectable slapshot. I think we'll see more of it this year.
Gotta side with the others on this one. I'm a Bouw fan and I'll readily admit his slapshot is nothing to write home about. Most of his Florida goals were from pinching down and scoring within 10 feet from the net. He just doesn't possess that big boomer from the point. He does have a nice wrist shot that can be deflected.

Wideman so far in camp has shown a much better slapshot. He'll be our go to guy for that.
