Are you under the impression the Oilers board is invisible to other teams or something? Y'all have been roasting him as hard as anyone else this season, 5 game hot streak excluded.The hate on for Bouchard due to playing for the Oil, just further cements my desire to see him continue to pile up the points and win the Norris. It would be the ultimate f you.
Posts calling for him to be sent down, traded.. Those guys with the Oilers Avatars much just be biased huh?

Can you let JackJohnson know that? He's under the impression our fanbase thinks he's gonna win the Norris.

No, you have not. It’s far more likely that he stiffed you for an autograph or something like that.
I'd consider making a deal with him just because his value is going through the roof. Not many D that can play at a 100 point rate like he has this season + last year's playoffs and is still a young player in his RFA years.
You could probably get back a monster haul for him that would address a lot of team needs and that team will still score a shit ton of goals because McDavid. What would the Caps have gotten for Mike Green at age 24? An unbelievable haul.
If he was a super strong defensive player right now with the numbers he's putting up, he'd in the discussion for the Norris and the Oilers would also probably be looking at paying him 10+ million on his next contract, so I mean in some sense it's probably good he's not all that because "all that" comes with a price tag.
If he keeps scoring like this, I think he makes the All-Star team. He has more points than Connor Bedard, Sidney Crosby, and Auston Matthews right now, lol.

Did you enjoy seeing him disgracing his country with his play ion the WJHC after being gifted the roster spot for no reason?

You sure are hyper critical for a fan of a team that has never won shit ever lol. Every one of your posts is like a virgin yelling and screaming at a friend who is in a relationship about how he's doing it all wrong. You'd think there would be a little self awareness and humility, but nope. Hughes had a stretch in his career where he was shit defensively too (you aren't -34 in two seasons combined by accident). I take it you're still bitter about the Bruins and 2011 as well, lulz, guess we can understand that one. You're definitely one of the most salty and angry posters I've ever seen on this board.
I'm not even that big of a Bouchard fan. I hope he keeps pumping his value because they will get a fortune for him if he continues to put up sky high point totals or they keep him and well it's another player that may not be perfect but still scores at such a level that it's hard to ignore at this point.

The same year he won the OHL defenseman of the year? That year?
Once again, your opinion just can’t be taken seriously. You have demonstrated on countless occasions that you likely barely watch your own team play, nevermind “extensively watching” the London Knights or the Bakersfield Condors.

Yes like the Oilers are such an elite team lol. What have the Oilers won ever since Gretzky cried after the trade? Nothing. The only thing Oilers know is to suck for multiple 1st overalls and even then they still can't win a cup.

No way he makes the all star team. He isn't even the best dman on his own team lol. I take Hughes and Hronek over Boobchard
Too busy destroying his downtown and burning cars.
FYI:
Won the cup without Gretzky

Everyone should do themselves a favour and ignore Oleksiak. They are very clearly a troll and just like the negative attention they drum up. Surprising that they have not been banned tbh.

You quoted exactly zero people saying he’ll win the Norris. Reading’s not your thing?

Boobchard? Is that really the best nickname you can come up with? That's the type of response I'd expect from my 5 year old nephew. Show a little creativity, you can do better than that.

Hughes is without question better. He, however is a left shot.
Bouch will likely be there if he keeps this level of play up.
How many defensemen get to make the team? Just two?
I honestly don't know because I don't even bother watching the game because it's boring as f***.
But lets look at it ... this year Evan Bouchard has more points than Matthews, Crosby, Bedard, Marner. As a *defenseman*, lol. He's also outscoring guys like Erik Karlsson and Roman Josi.
Even defensively, now that Woodcroft's gong show of a defensive system was given the boot, he has started to play a lot better defensively, once they've started to implement more of what it is Knoblauch/Coffey want, he has 10 points and a +4 rating in his last 7 games.
He has one of the longest active point streaks in the NHL right now with points in 11 consecutive games.
Counting the playoffs last year and the games this season, he's scoring at a 100 point pace. At what point do you start to get some consideration for an All-Star berth? lol. This isn't even like one of those dream/magic seasons for the Oilers where they've had a lot of bounces and everything is going right (not even close) and he's just riding the gravy train.

Some posters in Oilers land are very hysterical if you have not seen first hand lol.
HF has a “fun” tendency of seeing 1 post from some new account with 3 posts and figure that represents the thoughts of a large portion of the fan base.
Bouchard is a dynamic player that has had some growing pains. He is, without doubt getting better every game.
