They should part ways with most of these players as they are hopeless without the big two. I was really hopeful they could trade Bouche for a goalie before the deadline but other teams watched his tape obviously.

In a nutshell
Bouchard contract decision will be tough.. he's not worth big money for what he brings right now.. that contract would soon be untradeable.. what is he.. the guy from last year's playoffs.. or the guy we saw all this year .. more likely the truth is what he is today than in the past..
Oilers painted themselves into a corner.. they've kept making bets their #1 draft pick was going to get better .. based decisions on the cap .. and roster to suit that vision (bet).. putting even more chips on the table.. now it isn't coming true.. and they have run out of chips to play.
Oilers (Bowman) probably let Broberg and Holloway walk on the RFA offer because they thought they'd need cash this year for for Bouchard.. bad forecast.. bad decision.. one of Oiler's worst.. of many.
