No he wasn't. For comparision sake, lets use Brouwer. For all, we can agree he was one of our worst players on the team. Brouwer had almost 50 more hits than Bouma, and only 5 less blocked shots. For an energy guy, bouma didn't fill his role. I don't recall him getting into any fights?
During the post season 9 more guys on the team had more hits than him. And he had ZERO blocked shots during the series. He will either be buried in the Ahl, or a full time bench warmer and most certainly would not be brought back.
