Bouchard is a 40-50 pt, 3rd pairing, lousy defender on any other team but the Oilers. He gets his full 2-minute PPs on that 5-man unit, with no accountability defensively, on that team. He isn't getting that anywhere else.
I’m not talking about how it looks, rather the production.

I think Bouchard has 50 in 62 games this year, so you’re underselling his production a bit.

A 60-70 pt player who can anchor your power play is probably a median outcome for Parekh.
