I think he'd be a much more effective player, parking himself in front of the net as a screen and going for tips or rebounds, than what Raymond currently offers on the PP (which in my opinion is very little).

Bouma cuold get a shot. But Raymond was excellent on his 40 seconds of PP yesterday and probably was robbed of a point on one of the only decent saves of the night. And being in front of the net isn't his job, though IMO he went there last night.
If you take him out for Bouma to go to the net, who is the puck carrier/shooter? The other guys on the second unit were Jooris and Backlund. I'd say if you replaced someone it would be Jooris, not Raymond.
ETA: I know everyone hates Raymond and loves Bouma, and Bouma is a more complete player. But production-wise (and that's what the PP is about) they are about equal this season as far as GPG and PPG go.
