Guys like Bouma, Jooris and Byron are exactly the type of player you want to develop into bottom six role players.
Good speed, all heart, play physical, team first mentalities. Also, play a solid 200 foot game, and while not likely to be offensive superstars, aren't completely inept in that department and can chip in some depth scoring here and there.
Plus, despite being really important parts of your team, they never put up the huge offensive numbers that result in them eating up huge portions of your cap space.
Hopefully Wolf and Ferland can mold into that type of player for the Flames as well.
