After losing Prust, we can't really afford to lose Bouma.
And I disagree with the OP calling him a fourth liner. I think he is a third liner at the very least.

Don't kid yourself – he's a 3rd liner at the most. He could be one of the best defensive specialists & PK players out there one day but it's bad economics to overpay him just because you don't want him to be insulted. One day we're going to need to have the cap space to pay for 1st line talent. We saw enough "Cap Hell" during the Sutter years, thank you very much.
