Funny to see Tippett playing Broberg on his off side when, last year, the Oilers had to sit Bouchard for 2 months because he couldn't possibly slot in on the left side and instead they had to play Russell (35 games), Lagesson (19 games) & KK (18 games).
|
This year what options does he have? We are down to the 10th guy on the depth chart lmao!
|
For sure. My point is that it's obviously possible and I'm not convinced that Bouchard playing on his off side would have been any worse than any of the guys I listed above. Definitely not so much of a drop off to justify sitting Bouchard for 2 months.

Thought this season was proof that Bouchard was indeed absorbing NHL elite-ness through his eyeballs from up in the rafters. He wouldn't be the player he is today if he didn't stop him from playing last year.
