I like Bouma. No issue with his deal. Defended him plenty in the thread. I think the difference though is people think Bouma really over achieved while Silfverberg is seen more as a guy who is improving and yet to reach his potential. He also has a lot more natural offensive ability. I'm sure the Ducks expect his numbers to improve next year. I think people are a lot more hesitant that Bouma's numbers will.
