As I said before, it's not Barrie and Bouchard, it's Barrie OR Bouchard. If you're signing Barrie to a long-term deal, the team should trade Bouchard this summer for everything you can get for him, because only one of those guys can really fill that role. The team should know if they believe he can be the guy or not now. If he can't, then sucker someone else quick before they figure that out. If he can, then save yourself a boatload of cap space and let Barrie walk.

I'm not as convinced that you can't carry both Barrie and Bouchard. Bouchard is on an ELC; Bear is on a cheap contract. Bouchard not getting PP points may even reduce his second contract. I can't imagine Larsson gets much of a raise. So from a cap management point, there's not much spoken for among RHD.
And if any sort of injury happens, I'd much rather elevate either of Bouchard or Barrie than Kesselring, Kemp, or whoever the next RHD is on the depth chart.
When the time comes, Barrie is a moveable asset. He may have a NMC which restricts things, but you can get a return on him, just as there would be demand for him this summer. Like you've said a lot before, Oilers have this habit of jettisoning contributing players for the next shiny prospect, when in fact having both of them is probably the better direction for the organization. I'm cautious of this, especially before a decision needs to be made.
With the Oilers likely to lose one of Bear or Jones to expansion (Jones being the more likely), and with uncertainty around Klefbom's injury and what type of player he will be once he returns, I'm in no rush to push out any of the Top-6 guys. If Bouchard is your 7th, you can easily work him in throughout the year, and there will almost certainly be injuries he will need to step in for. Right now that role is being filled by Lagesson and Jones (and to a lesser extent Russell), and that's kind of where he is being blocked as much as anywhere, IMO.

I know puck moving and offense is important but you still need SOME dmen to defend, occasionally hit someone or lean on them and be able to be on the PK. So I do not think it's possible to have all of Barrie, Bear and Bouchard on the team at the same time because then your entire right side is basically void of good defending, physical dmen AND you lack PKers on the right side. Barrie isn't physical, doesn't defend that great and isn't on the PK. Same goes for Bouchard. Then Bear is decent defending, can be on the PK but lacks the rest.
So I think it will be Bear, Bouchard and Larsson next season as Larsson has earned another contract. I see Larsson in the top 4 for next season while Bouchard gets up to speed in the NHL on the 3rd pairing with PP time. I don't see how Larsson gets a raise. I think he's earned what he has been making but salaries across the league thanks to the cap being flat and revenue being down will make his salary lower. Plus dmen get paid for points.
