Bouchard has struggled, but he’s still a bright spot. Kid has little experience. I trust Manson in his deployment.
As for Nuge. Need him back. He takes away from our depth. With him, we can effectively run with 11 forwards.

Don't get me wrong I know Bouchard has some good tools, but he's playing awful defense right now, a constant liability. He isn't processing the game well enough.. too slow and nonchalant.. plus he's pretty weak, constantly loses puck battles along the boards and in front of the net.. for a guy that's listed at 6'-3" 195 lbs. he's physically invisible. I hope Manson and Woody can salvage him or at this pace he's not going to be more than a 3rd pair d-man. I think he's actually regressed this past year.
Nemo is playing defense much better, if we had a RH Nemo in Bakersfield I'd call him up and replace Bouchard.

I like Niemelainen a lot! For a big man, he moves extremely well. If he could become an every day, not flashy but just solid defensively guy on your 3rd pairing. A guy that is big, and plays big, physical, hard to play against, good on the PK. A guy that for the most part you don't notice him in a bad way because he defends well but once in a while lights up a guy with a big hit. A guy that gives you 12-15 mins of just solid play on that 3rd pairing. AND he is home grown, that would be HUGE! for the Oilers.
He brings a dimension the Oilers badly needed. A guy who when the opposition is coming into the Oilers zone, they have to keep their head up and when the opposition is trying to get infront of the net, they will have to earn that ice.

Nemo lists at190 lb. What's he going to be like at 215 or 220 or better? The kid is a revelation. Missing piece for years and years here. Simple game. Hope he keeps it up.
