  1. Glad we have evan back, but feels like the window is closed now that Bowman has his hands on this team.

  2. Everyone else getting better while the Oilers get worse. Good luck signing Connor long term now….

  3. You guys are sickening! You just don’t listen to your real fans do you! You keep the guy who pretty much single handedly lost us the cup, both of the first Florida goals Bouchard turnovers! You watch him turn over the puck in costly positions all season! He doesn’t even know what defence is! You miss the pick up of a solid goalie prospect in the draft! You lose someone who is actually good and arguably the most valuable in the playoffs being Corey Perry! It’s just disgusting, watch McDavid leave now cause you fumbled the bag on this off season. Great work, you have destroyed what us as Oilers fans love. There’s always next next season I guess.🙄 My only question is who is responsible and who is gonna be fired.

  4. He will become Nurse 2.0. Not worth 1/5 th of the price paid. Only the OILERS fans are desperate enough to continue funding this train wreck. Just remember, the curse of 1988 continues in perpetuity. You will never touch that cup again. No matter how much of YOUR money the management frivolously wastes.

  5. 2 d man with almost 20 million tied up …. depth has all left team is way weaker now… better have some magic massive signings to bring in or Connor will not resign!

  6. Statistically Bouch is a top 5 defenseman, at times he is a defensive liability but his offensive skills makes him one of the best in the NHL.

  7. He better start performing better now that he's rolling in cash. Why are the top players on this team so money hungry?

  8. There won't be any money left for any big team improvements with size of these contracts,probably another season with Skinner and Pickard in net with the same results.

  9. Cup window is closed. Paying 5.5 more for drai, Bouchard makes 6.6 more, and the rest of the supporting cast is worse

  10. Two assists for the Panthers from Bouchard and zero defense in Game 6 — all while wearing an Oilers jersey. But sure, let’s blame Skinner for letting them in. One of them has to go… and the other? He just got a raise — one-tenth of the team’s cap — and a four-year extension.

  11. Unless we get rid of Nurse and McDavid signs for the same as Drai the team is cooked.

  12. Bowman, destroyed the OIL… 4 mill guy at best, Mcdavid.. Likely gone.. Full rebuild in my mind…Tell me I'm wrong!!!!

  13. The people asking questions are all paid for by the Oilers… this is crazy…. get some independents asking questions

  14. This guy is going to be the death of the team. Pay that much for a guy that won't chase a puck and watch others do it is crazy. Should of traded douchard for a bag of pucks.

  15. Great contract. Love to have this guy for another four years. Love to have them for the rest of his career, but we shall see!

  16. Just so people likes to compare him to Makar, Makar is still making more money than Bouchard in 6 years contract comparison.

  17. Anyone blaming Bouch for 2 players on D making 20M, lets only hate on Nurse who doesn't deserve half of his 9.25M and overall lets blame Ken Holland who saddled us with that trash contract. Bouch deserves all the money, just wish we had him for 8 but he deserves to make even more on his next one as well just like Makar will. If you want to blame anyone look at Holland and look how he destroyed the Kings in one day with horrendous contracts

  18. His blunders in his play are no longer acceptable, if you want to make a top contract then you no longer are allowed to mess up.
