They don't have the money to match. They would have to trade out players they don't want to just to field a team. Not sure how good a long term fit Bouchard would be to be honest

pretty good lol. this will crush edmonton hearts

You’re not sure about his long term fit with EDM or DET?


Yeah, he’s obviously not worth that right now but, I’m not certain he’d be worth that in 2-3 years. If that was my thought, then I would actually do something like this.

he's still the current leader of these playoffs for Dman points. He is really starting to show his promise of an offensive threat D. And with how the D market is going, (especially right handed) he may get this now anyway

Detroit I mean. Seider is obviously our 1 and Walman showed so much promise last year that he should be qb on the second unit. Not sure if he was on the second unit or not, I couldn't catch many wings games last year cause I couldn't afford Bally. Bouchard would be an interesting situation too because of the whole Ekholm ordeal. With him struggling prior to his arrival. Does he regress without such a good veteran beside him? This move would crush Edmonton as @AndrewPawlack pointed out. Maybe it would work out in Detroit favor? I mean it's only 5 years? It's too tough for me to call, and like you said, I wouldn't do this move either as of today.
