lol, but my eye test has been frustrated this year at times too lol. They should re-up him and try to get it under $10M.

Ha. Stats also suggested JP was dominant and Nurse was dominant when with McD.

Bouchard is definitely a mixed bad of good and baaaaaaad this year.

Like come on ppl. Bouchard/Ek was fantastic the second half of last year.

Now ppl are saying because of "stats" he's equally good this year??

Puuuuuuuuleassse.

He's been fantastic the last while. Just like last year, he started shaky but finished elite.

Some big indicators is how often he's hitting nets, posts and juking with successs lately.

@shittyshoes must be losing his mind at the big uptick in his play

Not sure if you watched the end of the Calgary game, but imagine how fast shittyshoes would be in here posting how he sucks, no IQ, if it was Bouchard who turned the puck over instead of weegar to lead to nylanders empty netter

Even bouchards assist in OT was a high skill subtle play

Bouchard is the new Draisaitl in here. Gets absolutely crucified for some "lazy" "uninspired" "sloppy" play in the first half of a season (remember how people use to say Draisaitl always sucked in December?) while still in the early stages of his career. Only to shut up all the doubters when it matters with elite play on the back half and into the playoffs.

If you want Bouchard off this team or don't want to pay him then you're an absolute idiot.

If there are 4 players on this team that should be off limits of any criticism it is McDavid, Draisaitl, Bouchard and Ekholm. These 4 bring it every single playoffs and we should all be lucky that these are our top guys unlike some of the "stars" out east in Toronto who are jekyll and hyde when the playoffs roll around.

Just a friendly reminder that Bouchard has outscored every single one of the Leafs wonder boys in his playoff career to date as a defence man. And he's done it going into much later rounds when scoring generally decreases.

I remember how brutal Coffey was his first season,wanted him gone so I have time for Bouchard.

The fact that Bouchard is not on the 4 nations team and Sanheim is is a joke and shows you the power of perception!!

5th best in the league for turnovers is incredibly elite. That's how you know to never believe anyone's "eye test". Top 5 in every single category measuring defensemen. We're lucky to have him.
