These were by far the best stretch of games for either player.
The Centre Bouma was playing with got 3.57 x 4 year ..... Silvferberg's centre 6.9x6..
Bouma is 7 months older than Silvferberg.
Bouma's 2.2 x3 is a great deal for The Flames.
Fate.... Bouma misses the playoffs with injury ... Silvferberg has his coming out party

Because you don't judge players based on 33 games. And as I said at the start of my post

I was explaining why some people might feel Silfverberg is a more likely player to improve on his numbers next year than Bouma is and that's likely the reason why people in the Bouma thread thought we overpaid for his potential, because he may regress, and why people thinking paying for potential with Silfverberg was okay because they expect him to improve on his numbers.
