The more I think about it, the riskier it is signing Bouma to a long term contract for much more than $1.5 million/yr right now. The Cap staying most likely flat next season is worrying. Bouma is still a RFA after this season, the Flames can accept the 1 year arbitration and re-evaluate next off-season. Most likely his production drops next season with the emergence of Ferland, Bennett and Frolik.
