... Bouch on the other hand. No reason for him to not get what he can. We're gonna get multiple big bargain years out of him, and it's our managements fault he isn't already locked up long term.

Leon's monster contract was a very low risk bet.. could become the modern day Jagr playing until he's 50!
But I think Bouchard's next contract could have much more higher long term risk.. he's playing 1st pair.. but he's playing with an all-star defensive machine in Ekholm.. Bouchard has the offense.. the question will be can he play 1st pair without a top defenseman partner.. maybe he can.. but he hasn't done it yet.. so there is risk there..
Oilers paid Nurse for the expectation that Nurse would progress to be a 1st pair defenseman.. but Nurse never turned in to that guy.. now they have an untradeable boat anchor contract to deal with.. made a bet that never materialized.. losing prospects because of it (Broberg, Holloway)
|
It's funny that Ekholm went to 32 year old without anyone thinking he was a superstar. Even ended up a cap dump by Nashville, after a year of struggle with a young D, because he was seen a redundant with 33 year old McDonagh.
In any case. I think Bouch will be fine to bet on :) Actually think he will move the needle overall more than Drai going forward. Luckily he won't be paid that way.
