Now that the Ryan McLeod deal has been signed the Edmonton Oilers management team will move on to re-signing Evan Bouchard. There are a lot of factors in the Bouchard deal that need to be looked at, so this may not be as easy as we all think.
What Evan Bouchard Wants
Being a RFA with no arbitration rights Evan Bouchard really holds no power against the Edmonton Oilers. The only thing he can use against them is holding out and not playing games this season. They may help him get a better contract this season, but on his next contract, it may hurt him as he will be missing games.
