While that is an excellent return value, not sure Bouchard is ideal for SJ.

Dobson, Byram and Miller have set the framework for Bouchard's next contract.

This isn't happening.

No he really is! And sharks jump at him and a 1st for Karlsson even if it’s with 5+ mil retention.
Even willing to add a cap dump on a 1-2 year deal to free up cap space for ya.

Trading Bouchard would be an awful decision. Pass.

Explain why? Bouchard next contract is going to be Nurse esq; he’s asking for more than 4M right now.
You have 3 years left, that’s it, actually it’s only 2. Right now Karlsson is better at 5v5 and offensively.
Paying him more than a better defensmen is inexcusable.
