True but I am glad they have Barrie. Pretty clear Bouchard isn't ready yet to be the main offensive dman based on his season.

Given a couple things I've heard this year, I wouldn't be surprised if by the trade deadline Barrie is an Oiler and Bouchard isn't. Not saying I think that's the right choice but it doesn't sound like there's a lot of excitement in the corner offices about his progression.

Stauffer is the mouth piece of the Oilers and he goes on and on about the greatness of Bouchard and what he will become. He's "bullish" on him. In my opinion, anything Stauffer says is information fed to him by the team to inform the fans but also prep them for something. Whether it be players he likes in trades or UFA's, when Bob just so happens to give his opinion on a player, the Oilers usually either get him or we find out there were heavily sniffing around him. When People were ragging on Bouchard and he got benched, Bob pretty quickly starting singing his praises.
Broberg on the other hand, he's talked about how he lost his job at camp. Talked about wanting to see what they had in him for a bit. All things I think are true. Same with JP. Last year, Stauffer talked about all the good things he did, how the team was patient and it looked to be paying off. Now it's about how he's underperformed, his contract, etc, etc. Not glowing things about him.
