Speculation: Evan Bouchard asking $11M AAV on his next deal

[Kshahdoo]

He’s hasn’t been ass though. He hasn’t been at the same level as last year, but even “bad” he’s pacing for 50 points and creates more than it gives up.

As an Oilers fan I wouldn’t remotely consider trading him for Guhle or Hutson. Not even with a sizeable plus, and that’s ignoring positional needs too. All things considered even Guhle AND Hutson might not be enough, when you take his playoff performances into account.

Bouchard now with 1+1 in the first against Ottawa, BTW.

Is it a problem though? You'll pay him $10M/yeah and then be happy for all his contract long. Like you're happy with Nurse...
