RFA Bouma is coming off a 16 goal 34 pt 78 game season where he was +10 playing 14:01 / game.
Bouma lead the Flames in hits with 264 next was Colborne with 158. He led the Flames forwards with 81 blocked shots.
I know that the stats may not be accurate but there can be no doubt from watching the games that many of Bouma's hits and Blocked shots were key plays in important games.
RFA Frolik had 41 hits and 51 blocked shots.
If Bouma's agent is able to use Frolik as a comparable I don't see how Bouma gets significantly less than Frolik.

I think the reason is Frolik had 3 season prior to that of 38 points or better where Bouma had 19 career points before last year. But this is why most of us want the Flames to jump on signing long term for 2.5 or less as you see what Frolik got from us long term and that was considered to be a good contract
