Either way, he's a loser. I honestly don't see what he brings to the table that Hathaway doesn't.
I don't think he's too dumb about this, but rather, he's just not good enough that he should be a full time NHLer. The effort is there for the most part with Bouma, the NHL hockey talent just isn't really at all.

I also think he'll be out of the NHL after that 2.2 mil contract expires.

I'm not. If his hand is still an issue, he should be sat.
