Having a career best year with 43 points in 65 games. Turning 27 next week, so should be able to perform through most of the deal.

9M may start to be a baseline for a top pair D with the expected cap increases. Dobson and Bouch smiling today even with Dobson having DeAngelo pushing his way onto the PP.


Chychrun has lost a lot of games to injury so far in his career.. that contract has possibility to not age well.. but it works for Capitals.. they don't have any young D coming up.. good to solidify one piece.

Bouchard is not $9M value IMHO.. but someone will pay him that.. so Oilers will probably be forced to give him D. Nurse money. Bouchard's defensive ability.. and over all hockey IQ is not that high.. that contract could easily become a boat anchor.. whatever he gets is not based on this year's play.. its based on the hope he learns to play defense and stops making game losing defensive blunders.

Rather have a 23 year old Holloway and Broberg right now..
