Value of: Evan Bouchard for Best Available Goalie

[Breakers]

During tonight’s broadcast they brought up Bouchards upcoming restricted free agency, and Edmonton has to decide if he is in their future

I was wondering what Edmonton could get in return for Bouchard who is an RFA this summer.

I think he is looking for $70-$80 million and his game leaves a lot to be desired as we have seen when he is without Ekholm

 

[norrisnick]

Cam Talbot or Petr Mrazek. Take your pick!


(I don't actually want Bouchard....)

Without Ekholm he has become the Pettersson of defenders, he’s not going to fetch much with his contract asks

 

[Forge]

I'm not even sure who the best available goalie would be in this situation. Especially when you account for those who have full no moves

 

[Bobby Ryan Getzlaf]

Should’ve grabbed Gibson at the TDL.

Considering Bouchard will be demanding 10 AAV dies he gave any value?

Ya, like in 2022.

Play hardball and hope there's someone dumb enough out there (and there probably is) to offer sheet him, and then take your picks and move on.

 

[Soundgarden]

Saros.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

You can have Ullmark.

 

[Fatass]

The Dominator would struggle behind that Oilers group. Got to commit to playing at least some defensive hockey.

 

[Garbageyuk]

Bouchard turns into a 40 point guy without McDrai and that power play. That’s his value if you’re smart.

 

[JAK]

A slightly used, well rested Thatcher Demko

 

[DeathSniper]

The person you're looking for is Esa Lindell

 

[Juicy Pop]

That's not the player you trade when looking for an upgrade over what you have,

You walk out onto the streets and sign the first guy you see because Skinner is that bad.

 

[lanceuppercut75]

This is probably a hot take, but...

Bouchard + Skinner + goalie prospect
for
Sorokin + Mayfield

NYI also make a deal based around Pulock and Zellweger (plus)
NYI also trade Barzal, Lee, maybe Duclair, start rebuild


Romanov - Bouchard
Pelech - Dobson
Zellweger - UFA/George
7D = Perunovich/Boqvist

Varlamov
Skinner
Hogberg

Oilers were actually one of the best defensive teams in the regular season and haven't been nearly as bad as 12 goals against in the playoffs.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...after Knoblauch gets fired, bring Roy in to coach & play goal...can't be much worse, even if he'll be 60...

 

[Bruce Granville]

I could imagine that the other teams in the Pacific would offer a 7th round pick each if Edmonton keeps Bouchard.

I hope he gets 12 million.

 

[A1LeafNation]

If Oilers trade Bouchard, who runs PP1?

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Rhett Warrener absolutely hates this guy

 

[Soundwave]

Traded for Noah Dobson in the summer.

 

[Mr Nogatco]

A slightly used, well rested Thatcher Demko

*intact popliteus sold separately

 

[Iwishihadaspacebar]

If Carolina don't go deep - Bouchard for Kochetkov plus something.

The fact that he's behind Andersen still must be frustrating and he's a decent goalie.
