My biggest fear is as he's both from Edmonton and has previously Ference's defence partner, the the Oilers back up a money truck to his place and pay him an excessive amount to play there and make him forever unclean.

Boychuk isn't signing in Edmonton. I'll be shocked if he even makes it to free agency. He's been a great fit with this Islanders and I bet he re-signs there.
