I think this deal walks him right out the door at the end of 3 years as he hits UFA status.

with that contract the Oilers have 8 million next year in cap space with 16 signed. So if they need to at least sign 4 to 6 on their NHL roster.

Bouchard is coming up, he's probably going to look at between 3 and 4 on a bridge deal as it stands. If they don't trade pool party, they can't really qualify him as he's at 3.1 as that would eat a big chunk of that space. And if they want to bring in a winger that can replace him in the top 6 they're looking at 3 to 4.
