I just hope he doesn't decide to hold out. I think he's a useful cog moving forward. And a young one too.
If Bouma was concerned about not signing or negotiations going poorly, he could have filed for arbitration much like Colborne did.

The fact he has not would seem that there are negotiations. Perhaps he's on vacation and dealing with all this when he returns. Edit: Actually I recall seeing something from Conroy when they announced the Bennett signing that the negotiations with Bouma had just started, so it's barely been a week or so? Again, no where near time to panic.

If it was September 1st and we've heard nothing, then maybe we can be a little concerned.
