If we would have held this poll at the start of the season he would have been ranked #3 behind Monahan and Baertschi or maybe 4 if folks could be happy with Bouma being the best 3/4 liner he could be.

Sure, coming out of training camp last year, he looked great, but you can't ignore what has happened to him since that time. He has played a grand total of 2 games since last training camp. He spent a significant chunk of time in the last year on heavy medication and unable to do any activity that would cause him to sweat.
There are significant question marks around his health right now and whether he'll ever be able to have a meaningful career.
