While he may not have set the bar high for his contract negotiations, Bouchard's contribution to the team cannot be overlooked.
He has played in 184 NHL games, scoring 23 goals and 66 assists for a total of 89 points. Bouchard has also proven to be a valuable asset in the post-season.
The Oilers would ideally like to keep him on for longer, but their budget is a limiting factor.
Currently, Bouchard is projected to sign a 2-year contract worth $3.68 million.
He is worth every penny.
