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

[Fatass]

I didn't say they would, just that in context Bouchard is asking a lot with the detriments still in his game.

I’m thinking that Dahlin contract will make some D think they deserve a lot more than they’re worth.

He pretty much gifted the Leafs their victory on Saturday. His giveaway on the Knies goal was probably the worst one of the season so far.

Bouchard could use an eye exam, his eyes aren't normal. This could explain his random disconnects from the play.

So who would have more value to the Oilers, Bouchard @ $11 X 8 years or McAvoy @ $9.5 Million for four more years?

Seems to me McAvoy is the better player and paid less.

McAvoy even if Bouchard was at 9.5. Thing is I expect McAvoy to be worth more than 11.5 when his deal is up.

Contract is going to be a grenade

McAvoy signed that in 22-23 right? His deal was 11.5% of the cap when signed, Bouchard getting 11 is the same percentage in a 92.5mil cap.

Time when signed matters.

On any other team Bouchard is a 45-50 points PP specialist. If this guy gets anywhere near 11M per Oilers window is done for

What makes you think I don't go to games?

That's what separates fairweather Canucks fans from fans that actually give a shit.


He'd be the best player on the Habs by a mile.

Still think Bouchard is a 11M/year player?

The % of cap might be the same, but I don't see them as the same level of defender.

I would far rather have McAvoy than Bouchard.

I agree, but comparing the cap hit for deals signed with 4 years in between them isn't a good measure of value.

There's plenty of better reasons to take McAvoy than "he signed his contract 4 years earlier"

Only 1.75 million more than Nurse. He's worth more than Nurse.
