The Edmonton Oilers are making progress with their restricted free agents, with Evan Bouchard being a top priority. A deal seems imminent, avoiding arbitration on August 4th, according to multiple Oilers reporters.
Bouchard's outstanding performance on the blueline, his consistent health record, and impressive point production make him a valuable asset.
Polls show expectations around $4,000,000 per season on a 2-year contract. Once finalized, Bouchard's new deal will solidify his spot as a key player for the Oilers in the upcoming seasons.
