Initial Creation Date: Aug. 2, 2023
Published: Aug. 2, 2023
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Trading for Bouchard; Maybe EDM would go for it, MTL only gives their CAL pick. EDM doesn't need to Cap manage or match another team at this point and still get a good return.

Bouchard would rather play for a contender and also this isn’t even close to enough to get him and EDM isn’t looking for picks

You could add Montreal's 1st and Edmonton still declines.

That's probably the number Edmonton want to be at. If you want to make it interesting the offer sheet needs to be around 8-8.5M.

if you have to citie betting sites as your source for an argument about hockey then you have absolutely zero knowledge of the game

MTL already has
- three 1st round RHD prospects
- 3 young LHD NHLers who can play the right side
- a top puckmoving defenceman prospect

Zero need for Bouchard.

Won 2 the year before and lost the Stanley cup winner both times, team seems pretty close. Nuge is pretty good, Kane is pretty good, Hyman is pretty good, nurse is pretty good, ekholm is pretty good, bourchard is pretty good and skinner got some calder votes. do you even watch the oilers. Players on Vegas said Edmonton was the hardest team to beat this year in playoffs

they got bounced in six games. gave up more than four goals in four of those games and got blown out in two games. they got outscored by a team with less offensive superstars and Adin Hill as their goalie. but yea, I am a clown

This is a trade... the post has a trade in it. He has no say in a trade. The money he would take to force his hand staying in Edmonton would have the PA up his ass and not worth it. Nor is it worth pillaging your career earnings while playing in a high tax market, there's a reason sweet heart deals happen in Tampa, Florida, Dallas etc. etc.

Also, Mark Hunter just said Mailloux is the best London Knights defenseman prospect since John Carlsson. So better than..... Evan Bouchard.....

That's interesting. He certainly doesn't have the offensive production that Bouchard did. It'll be interesting to track them going forward.
