I'm not sure I agree. Seeing the Flames are going to be tight up against the cap in coming seasons and Bouma is staring to become damaged goods I just may opt for the 4th round pick and keep the $5 million remaining on his deal. I think the team has a few less expensive options in Stockton that can replace his ice time and while they may not be the warrior he is they will likely play no worse and spend less time in the sick bay. You never want to fall into the trap of getting overly attached to depth players especially if they can't stay healthy.
