Evan Bouchard's Next Deal Projected to be 3x Less Than Darnell Nurse's
To fit Evan Bouchard within their salary cap structure, the Edmonton Oilers are expected to sign him to a short-term bridge contract.
According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman on the 32 Thoughts podcast, the deal is likely to fall in the range of $3.5 million to $4 million.
Bouchard's impressive performance, with more games played and points than Bowen Byram of the Colorado Avalanche, who signed a two-year bridge deal with a $3.85 million average annual value, justifies the potential contract value. Bouchard, 23, had consecutive seasons with 40+ points and led all NHL defensemen in playoff scoring, tallying 17 points in just 12 games.
