Nucker 67 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Not sure where I saw it, but there was a rumour about Canucks possibly offer sheeting an RFA, and Bouchard's name was mentioned. Grain of salt. But I mean, I wouldn't hate it Hughes - Bouchard Soucy - Hronek Cole - Myers Hirose Trade Myers at the 2024 TDL, he'll be worth a lot seeing as he'll only be making a million next season.

Pears Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 I still kinda want to see someone grow a set and send Bouchard an offer sheet. Either cripple Edmonton’s salary cap or they lose a blossoming top 4 RD. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 I hope they bridge him or even do a one year deal. His value will get boosted like crazy by playing with McDrai. No way they can keep him on his next deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouchard really needs to go back to the AHL and stay there until he decides to start trying to stop hurting his teammates with his refusal to learn how to play defence. There's no spot on a legitimate NHL roster for a defenceman who can't play defence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If both of these things happen, the offseason will have been a major success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouchard would be the worst Dman to partner with Hughes. I'd rather he play with Juulsen for 2 years until Willander is ready to go... 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Hughes-Bouchard pairing would be frightening defensively. Hughes is fine as long as you don't ask him to cover other people's mistakes. Pairing him with Bouchard would be the all offense zero defense pairing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted July 5, 2023 Author Share Posted July 5, 2023 Winnipeg should offer sheet Bouchard. They have the cap space and this allows them to get a guy under contract with term. 6x5. Edmonton can't match... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would need to offer $4.3 mil and our 1st and third. If we had our second we could offer him around $3.5 - 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With how tight cap is, I doubt we see many/any offer sheets until cap starts going back up (and they were pretty rare to begin with). That can easily come back to bite you in the ass with retaliatory offer sheets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
