You get better by upgrading not downgrading, at this point you are suggesting we downgrade Bouma with guys like Arnold.
There are plently of young mobile dman on the team that can play the 7th dman role. Or heck they can just re-sign Schlemko for that role.
At the end of the day it's nice to have million picks but only 20-23 guys make the team.
Bouma likely won't be playing with Backlund this year anyways. He'll be back to bottom 6 role which is what he's great at.

The problems this franchise has had in the past is the arrogant notion that a young up-and-comer can't fill the roll of an overpriced, but established bottom 6.
