While the Jooris story is great, and I think he has a future as a bottom 6 forward, I went with Bouma developing his 2-way game. I did not expect anything more than 5 goals a season from Bouma, so his production this year is pretty fantastic and he could still get marginally better. It's doubly good because he was a guy that was a 4th liner at best before and was in danger of being in and out of the lineup. Since he provides so much in the way of intangibles and leadership, the increase in production assures him of being a significant part of the team going forward.
