First.
Hey Patrick/ Heavy Hockey. I agree i think we played an overall excellent game. Lets go Zach ! GO OILERS!
Oilers won’t see the sec round this year
Not sure about 10 mill a year great offense…..but defensively average. Lets go.
What is Bouchard when he isn’t playing with McDavid and Draisaitl? Not 10 million.
If Bouchard can’t get invited to team Canada why should he be one of the top 3 highest paid D men in the entire League?
Bouchard…not even close to any top offensive d man in the league…He can't even spell defence…but good at napping
now he's even worse because he doesn't score any of his bombs at all…10 mil is a joke…
Everyone does make mistakes, but his turnovers are classic and no kidding his mistakes are inexecusable but he never really improves…defensively no improvements
Bouchard can't play defence…he's a 5th line centre or winger…
Bouchard is not worth more than a penny over 5mil
Bouchard not worth that money. Broberg is a better Dman already.
Last night game was nothing to be mad about. They did play good.
Great to know thanks for the update
Id rather have 2 Larsons or an Ekholm and a Larson then one 10 ten million plus a year Bouchard. Defense is really important.
Hill on Team Canada for a reason as well as only Connor representing the Oil. Bouchard is like Nurse so over paying is a mistake. Eckholm best D man. Thanks for the update
Yeah, they played extremely well considering they're undermanned right now. They were the better team. Reminded me of the way they played in last year's playoffs. Flukey goal for Vegas. Mark Stone missing for Vegas, but I still think the Oilers were the better team. Time to continue rolling. I'm more and more liking Emberson. He's getting better. He's not afraid to hit someone. So far, no bad passes in the middle of the ice in our zone like a certain player has tendency to do every so often. Emberson doesn't move the puck up ice as well as our old friend Philip Broberg, who we will be seeing soon, but what can you do? Sigh! Sorry, have to root for Broberg. Hope he puts on a good show just to stick it to Bowman. Now the talk is that we need a puck moving defenseman. Well, we had one. Stan the Man must have been smoking some bad s**t the day he decided not to match. Maybe one of these days he'll be smoking some bad s**t again, go into a trance, and start walking in the direction of the Artic Circle thinking he's headed for the Bahamas.
I like Bouchard as a player, but if the cost is going to be over $10M per season for a long-term contract, then trade him while the market is good, or bridge him and kick the can down the road.
Zach and Evan can still make the team if there are any injuries and need replacements. Side they are both close to next in line.
Top 5 worst front office group for a decade and running. Feel horrible for McDavid, this management group has possibly done the worst job with cap management since pre McDavid. Last season was “the shot” right now I give LA EDM a round 1 toss up…..
Are you kidding 10 mil. for Bouchard. I'm questioning the 3.9 that he is getting. I didn't like the contract Nurse got and what has he done. Mattias is getting 5 mil and doing a hell of a lot more on the ice. You guys can say all you want about how much each player should get. BUT is it coming out of your pocket ?? . There's many players on the Oilers rooster that should get more but in my opinion he's not one of them.
