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

[Oilslick941611]

soooo 4.6 mil for Bouchard?

 

[nerevarine]

Naaahhh... He'll take the McDrai hometown discount, 8x10.75.

Just to be clear, you're implying those players are overpaid?

 

[ORRFForever]

Good Lord, that is way too much.

Did they see his game against the Leafs?

 

[UrbanImpact]

Why isnt this done yet! Please Edmonton make it happen!!!

That's broberg money

 

[Oilslick941611]

That's broberg money

Exactly. He wants 11. He isn’t even getting half of that with his play

 

[Slats432]

He will bridge to get his game under control. 1 year at $5-6?

 

[Artemi Panarin]

but if his defensive game develops a bit more,

 

[LordZapp]

Trade him

 

[ManofSteel55]

Exactly. He wants 11. He isn’t even getting half of that with his play

He was asking 11 because he was coming off an amazing year and very good playoff run. If he continues to play like a donkey this year, his bargaining power goes down, and he will get way less than what he initially wanted.

 

[HuGort]

Oilers will lock him up, 11 million is reasonable

 

[Brookbank]

The Oilers should consider a trade. See what's out there.

 

[Realm]

Imagine if he didnt get lucky with 6 seconds left and Marner walks down and wins it at the buzzer. What an terrible period of hockey.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

trade him and bring in a cheap strictly offensive dman for the PP

a massive long term deal for Bouchard will be brutal
