Seriously? The Dahlin contract has thrown off further D contracts.Why? Dahlin is a much better player
Ah! So just not a serious negotiationReports like this are so stupid.
Of course he asked for 11m, they just started talking. I'm sure the Oilers threw out a number that was lower than he's accept too. It's called negotiating.
It's not like he threw out a completely absurd number considering what they gave Nurse a few years ago.Ah! So just not a serious negotiation
Nurse got 9+ x eight. Dahlin just got 11.5 x 8. Bouchard is asking for less than he should considering he’s the best of those three.Coming from a Nucks fan,
for what he's capable of,
He'd probably sign something in the high 9s or even 10s.
It’s only fair this way too since Nurse's contract will be used as a comparison.
Just win this year and let him walk
Ok so then do that what’s the differenceLet him walk where? He's an RFA, if they want to move him they'd get a monster return for him.
Why’d he accept that though? If he goes short, he could sign a one year deal and then hit UFA. The Oilers best hope is that he has a major regression and they still make the playoffs.I'd bridge for 8.5 x 2 or 3 years.
Yes you might pay even more after that, but you get time for the cap to rise significantly and Nurse's deal becomes potentially moveable too.

McDavid 15.5 vs 12
Draisaitl 14 vs 8.5
Bouchard 10 vs 3.9
Oilers will likely be adding 15 million in caphits from 3 players
