I agree Bouma should not be compared to Yelle as they are simply different players. Both are the type of players 30 teams in the league can't have enough of. He's tough, physical and stands up for his team. Not to mention he made some pretty sweet offensive plays last season even though they were few and far between.
Bouma is gritty enough for the 4th line and talented enough for the 3rd line. He's still young and will only get better in both of these roles. I would like to see Bouma on the Flames for the next 10 years due to the number of intangibles he brings.
