One is a RFA and one is a UFA. Not even asking who DESERVES more, but who will get a bigger contract and what might both look like? Usually UFA's get a bigger deal than RFA's but I think it will be opposite here and wrong.
 
I think Chychrun will get close to 9 AAV and I think Bouchard will shoot for around 11. Will be interesting to see what these two and what Dobson get. Cap couldn’t have projected much better for them over 3 years or at a better time for them.
 
Bouchard. Imo Chychrun has been on different clubs and finally has one that’s a winner and there he fits. He will sign a long term deal at a team friendly cap hit to stay where he is. The Oilers don’t have a pp guy to replace what Bouchard does. He’s getting 80 + million there.

He has 0 PP goals this year. That is amazing. How can you pay him that much when he can be a turnover machine and if he isnt a monster on the PP, which he has played over 50 games this year with that group and has 0 goals.

Do the Pilers have any choice but to pay top dollar to keep Bouchard though?

Sure, you can trade him. I am not saying he would be easy to replace but with 10 million dollars you should be able to get a decent PP specialists and a top 4 D-man.
 
Interesting question but Bouchard just has much better comps than Chychrun.

Nurse/Dahlin/Werenski/McAvoy/Fox vs. Hanfin/Theodore/Montour/Toews
 
That is amazing.
I'd say downright shocking.lol

Nonetheless

Here is the company he is keeping this year for Power Play Points!

Pretty good IMO! I admit I thought he'd be higher and have a PPG though.

If you want to open up the sample a little more and include last season.. he's keeping damn good company

I'm a huge Bouch fan so grain of salt but I'd take the 130 game sample size into account.
 
Bouch will be around 10M... I'm not sure I like that number. It may age poorly but, to me, the Oilers are revolved around Bouch/McD/Drai on the offense and the offense is our speciality because I'm sure we all agree it is not goaltending and defence.lol
