Some might say Bouchard isn't generational at both ends of the ice. That is a fair point.
One can acknowledge that Bouchard is a step back of Orr or Bourque while at the same time acknowledging that Bouchard controls the entire sheet of ice better than any defender currently playing.
And that quite frankly the Oilers would be golfing if they didn't have an elite 3 zone defender. The two tigers of the west with 1 zone elite defenders are golfing though.
