$2.2M was fair to some and expensive to those that expect him to regress.

Well his absurd sh% played into that in a big way. I think Bouma is worth around $2m even if he only scores 8-10 goals per year over the deal. Prust gets $2.5m to be a half the player Bouma is. I'm really not that torn up about it. I think you can have a underskilled character/glue guy overpaid by 10%, you just have to pick the right guy. Bouma is a great guy to give that deal to, I really think he gets a letter at some point.
Can't remember your stance on his deal, I'm just typing what I'm thinking.
