Bouma might look at a guy like Eric Nystrom and want the $2.5 per that Nystrom gets. He's a tough one.

He's a great 4th line player, but to manage the cap properly, your 4th line can't be too expensive or it takes away your room for the top end.

On the flip side, the heart that he shows is exactly what you want to keep around. I'd hate to see him scooped up by the Oilers or Canucks. More than a few Oiler fans have commented to me that they'd love to see him on the Oilers.

I'd like to see him in a 3 year contract at up to 1.5 per. He could get more as the top PK forward on the team.
