Lol 2 way game.

Bouchard 1 dimensional ?

Says the guy who gets 10 minutes of hockey coverage from any other team outside of the Rangers in his city.

This is the same fanbase voting Panarin over McDavid for Hart a few years back.. then followed up with the grand finale of Fox for Norris and actually knocked it out of the park

The fact that you're loling at Nils 2 way game just shows you have 0 clue what you're talking about. Trying to watch more games than just the Oilers, lol. Better luck next time.

And quit acting like Panarin possibly winning the Hart over McDavid that year was some insult, lmao.

You should know by now height doesn't mean anything, lol.

Hit me back up when Bouchard reaches Lundkvist's level of defense, lol. I'll take Nils's 2 way game over Bocuhard's one-dimensional one.

That said, both are good prospects.

Bouchard.*

It would have been though.

Quit acting like Panarin was on McDavids level. Lmao

That should be enough.

Blanket statements thrown around on a whim due to location.

The typical eastern fanboy.

Midget 21 year old European prospects aren't on Bouchards level guy.

As for better smarter with the puck....
:laugh::biglaugh:

Your kidding right ?
what are you? 14 years old?

even the prospect poll had Lundkvist 15th and Bouchard 21st.... I think Ill go with the majority opinion of dozens and not just some kid Oilers homerboy.

Not that year.

Quit being intentionally obtuse, lol. McDavid is the best player in the NHL, he is his own level really. Panarin is still a top 5 player in the game and was neck and neck with McDavid that year for the Hart.

Is Lundkvist ever going to get the playing time he needs to win this poll? Fox and Trouba are a pretty high bar to meet just to get a decent look.

Lol what year ? He wasn't in the top 3 in any of the years McDavid won. He was a 2nd runner up when Draisaitl won. What year was he neck and neck in with McDavid? Please educate us.

You did get one thing correct. McDavid is the best player in the game and Panarin isn't at his level. Thanks for clarifying.

Back to the topic. Bouchard is a better player easy.

as are Nurse, Barrie, and Keith

Barrie is the only rightie there.

Bouchard likely starts on the 3rd pairing, but I wouldn’t be shocked if he leap frogged Ceci and got 2nd pairing offensive zone start heavy matchups with Keith as his partner later on in the year.

In the limited action he got last year, Bouchard showed that elite puck movement and passing ability and big shot he’s been lauded for. I’m expecting him to take a big step this year.

His breakout and transition passing is outstanding. Far more physical along the boards now than he gets credit for. There will be growing pains like there are for any young D, but I’m expecting a fairly important role for him this year with Bear being moved for Foegele as well.

Solid rebuttal. Solid.

Lol

Hence why Bouchard is still winning this poll despite being relegated to 21.

That kind of my point. No one has time to watch all these prospects live- so it’s not accurate to be speaking to their defensive acumen
so why even have this poll/debate at all if no ones truly watched both extensively enough to compare. All we can say is that both are young up and coming offensive dmen whove both done well in their respective leagues.... I mean, we wont know who the best of the two are for several more years most likely.

If you mean better at sucking on defense, then yeah, he is "better" there lmaooo :laugh:

Edit-Nvm, I forgot it was Drai that year in the Hart convo with McK and Panarin, not McDavid.

Drops the "14" year old response then follows up with responding like a 10 year old....

:lol::biglaugh:

Damn, is that honestly the best comeback you got to that? :laugh:

Time to retire from this thread my boy, like I'm sure McDavid wants to from the Oilers at this point, lol :lol::biglaugh:

Lol

I'm sure he wants to hit up the Rangers like Messier to help the Rangers win a cup. What is it now 4 in close 100 years ?


We got Larry and Curly here

Damn, you must enjoy being a glutton for punishment, lol.

When you have to go that long like 100 years, you know the Oilers have been a running joke for a long time. Maybe the NHL should give your team another top pick, lol. Can't even win anything with McD and Drai on your team, smh.

Win a playoff series one of these years for starters, lol. Then get back to me.
