Sometimes the process of RFA/UFA negotiations stinks. You back up the Brinks truck for Frolik because he scored 19 goals for the Jets. Then you nickel and dime Bouma because he scored 16 goals for the Flames.
Just give him his 2.5 and be done with it.

For one thing, RFA vs UFA. For another, Frolik is a proven, consistent ~40 point player with a solid two way game. Bouma had one season with 34 points, while having a ridiculously high shooting percentage. Not comparable at all.
