TSN headline. In what f***'in world would anyone be so stupid as to pay Evan Bouchard $10M+ a year???!!! Oh wait a second, maybe he's better than ######bag Nurse, so I guess that makes sense in Bumonton. Maybe 8 years $100M sounds about right.

Puts the Oilers in a rough spot, I mean his contract is up the same time as Draisaitl,
Bouchard's agent would be stupid not to ask for number 1 pairing dollars with his offensive numbers at about 8 to 8.5. Draisaitl would be nuts not to start at what is going to be the league maximum at what 16 and then give a discount to 14.
Either way the Oilers won't be able to afford both of them unless they find a taker for Hopkins and or Nurse with no retention.
I mean if the Oilers don't get to the finals, they have to make changes right, I mean their window is closing.
