He's an identity player for us. Basically the leader of our bottom two lines, setting the example and work ethic. Bouma isn't the problem, he's part of the solution.

Now if we wanna talk about Hathaway making Bollig less useful I can see that having some merit. It does also affect Jooris but Jooris has the added flexibility of being able to play centre.
I love Bouma, but I can't see how having more of him helps. It's great that he hits, but it accomplishes absolutely nothing.

I'll let Dave Tippett speak for me here:
