Anyone thin Bouch is doing us a favor by reducing his next contract?
|
I'd play hardball.. he had a great second half last year and playoffs.. this will be a 8 year contract.. its a long time.. and he doesn't have a long track record.. a big contract would be a big bet on 50/50 odds.. .. McDavid needs to be paid.. and still need to get some more talent up front for him.. Nuge is declining.. J. Skinner not helping.. also need a #1 or #2 RHD .. better Goalie ..etc.. etc..
|
Hardball likely leads to an offer sheet. And we can wait another decade or so for another top end offensive RHD.
|
Yep. Outside of the obvious, McDavid and Draisaitl, there is no player on the Oilers who is more important in the sense he would be hardest the replace.
This team spent 2 generations trying to find a Bouchard, offensive RHD. If Bouchard leaves for any reason they will be ok the same boat until the end of Drai and McDavids career.
His defensive game has improved to acceptable most of the time. He wil never be a shut down D but for the most part his defense is passable and his offence is elite.
Playing any form of hardball would be a tactical mistake. As others mentioned, any window for a low deal closed 2 years ago. Sign him to a fair market deal. Sell him on the idea of keeping the band together and try and shave off a bit. Annoying him into testing the RFA market would do nothing positive for the Oilers.
