It might actually become a pretty funny story, in a monkey's paw kind of way. Bouchard might be so good that he leads the fix on the Oilers' awful D this year reopening that closed cup window... but that would make him so expensive that he forces a Draisaitl trade or a Bouchard trade.

It's neat how cool we were to throw 3.225M of next year's cap space at Connor Brown's ghost. If we just properly managed our cap and had room this year for Bouch to sign 8 years it would have also saved us from that stupid Brown contract, and we would basically have the exact same cap hit on the books next season. Maybe Brown would have just signed for cheap anyways to play with McDavid after he realized not many teams were interested in a career 3rd liner that had some shooting luck spurts that also had a near career ending injury.
Oh well! Let's enjoy a couple ppg seasons from Boich before his next negotiations start in a year.
