In other words, whatever Bouma will be earning after arbitration, he's worth the price.

I agree Bouma's skills are extremely desirable, but not at all costs. Hawks could afford Bickell as a championship team because for one reason,Keith and Seabrook were each making under $6 million. Now sounds like they are trying to move Bickell and apparently not finding it easy.
My point is let's not have too many guys eating up our cap before the stars need to get their big money.
More importantly, let 's hope we are in the exact situation the Hawks are in 5 years from now.
