Not even the wizard known as Treliving can underpay every player.. This went to arbitration and because of it his hands were tied. It's not like we had an option here.
Regardless, this is not a big over-payment and Bouma will be worth the money. It's not a bad thing to overpay for players that do everything in their power to win a hockey game. You underpay these players and they might not want to sacrifice their bodies the same way.
