Not going to argue that Cizikas is more valuable than Bouma because I agree, but it's just bad management to lock up a fourth liner for that long. This contract will impact their roster decisions for the next 5 years. Not a good plan at all. Just because you are losing guys to free agency, doesn't mean it makes sense to hand out 5 year deals to fourth liners.
Also, Bouma at 2 years left is much easier to swallow than Cizikas at 5 years.
