Nobody is arguing that but paying him $1.5 million isn't paying him like a 16 goal scorer.
The argument is you saying that he is OVERPAID at $1.5 million which is 100% false.
Forwards that will make 1.5 to 2.0 million this upcoming season :
Justin Abdelkader
Brian Boyle
Andrew Shaw
Ben Smith
Travis Moen
Cody Eakin
Nick Bonino
Matt Hendricks
Mark Letestu
Jared Boll
Gregory Campbell
PA Parenteau
Zack Kassian
Dominic Moore
Trevor Lewis
Dwight King
Kyle Clifford
John Mitchell
Zack Smith
Chris Neil
Jay Beagle
Nathan Gerbe
Marcus Foligno
Cody Mccormick
Steve Downie
Nate Thompson
Shawn Horcoff
I feel that Bouma fits fine with that group of players (and some more paid over $2 million where I would probably take Bouma), and would absolutley be worth the $1.5 to $2 million. Once you get over $2.5 is when it becomes questionable.
