I know the 'this guy scored' meme is replete with examples, but their defensive zone coverage is abysmal, if anything its a miracle they dont get scored on more often.
A real close comparison to Evan Bouchard is Erik Gustafsson. If Gustafsson would have been able to play with offensive players such as McDavid and Draisaitl he would have hit those point totals.
