Oilers in awe of Bouchard: 'He's been pretty special'

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Evan Bouchard has been a force of nature in these playoffs, and his leaderboard-climbing performance hasn't been lost on his teammates."He's just good," Leon Draisaitl said Saturday with a laugh. "He's so calm. He makes the right play seemingly every time with the puck...

I think the Oilers are going to win the Cup.

That might be embarrassing enough to stimulate change in Toronto, and if it does, I'll deal with the Oilers winning as best I can.

If the Oilers win the Cup and we re-sign Marner they might have to literally ban me because I'll be a living hell in every way.

I don't think I'll watch next year if they run it back. It's petty as hell but I've had it with this group. If/when they make meaningful change that's when I'll watch.

I honestly think it's time to put Dubas in the same conversation as JFJ when it comes to all time worst GM's in Leafs history.

Actually. Dubas might be worse.

My God how could he let Hyman walk?

JFJ wasn't allowed a rebuild eventhough he wanted to by the Teacher's Pension Plan.

Dubas was given everything (cap space, assets, young team on the rise having just finsihed with 100 pt season); nobody has done so poorly with so much to work with in the history of NHL

Dubas is the worst GM ever in the NHL history as far as I am concerned

Agreed, if they re-sign Marner. I already avoided most of the regular season most years and would only watch the playoffs and lie to myself that I didn't pay attention or care when I actually did.

This year would be different and would result in more severe action. Why should any of us care if they don't? We have to hope. Edmonton winning would rub it in and make it worse. So that might help? Maybe?

Some of it is out of Tre's hands. He might not be able to trade Marner. If so, he better not compound the mistake by retaining him.

I want to think that, but the Oilers legitimately have two of the greatest players in NHL history and easily the two best in the league right now. They can take over anything.

Yeah for Edmonton, if you think Florida is beating EDM idk what to tell you. EDM will be skating circles around Florida. And Edmonton is not going to get suckered into the physicality game. I just don’t see how Florida will outscore EDM.

Florida vs Edmonton is pretty much a tossup. Both deserving teams. I think Skinner is a guy I don't totally trust though. He needs to stay hot for Edmonton to have a real chance.

Nah, Florida will smother them. Barkov is going to shut down McDavid at even strength, and people may finally appreciate just how good he is.

I hate Edmonton Oilers but the only thing leafs fans can say is that the city of edmonton is viewed lower than toronto for desirability to live in the world

Oilers franchise history with decade of darkness is tiers better than toronto.

We dont have a player as good as;

Gretzky, Messier, Mcdavid, Coffey, in our franchise history
