Around the League 2019-2025 Edition

Yeah, they definitely wouldn't want to pay him the 5.5 in the last year of his contract. But it seems this is a good year to try to find a replacement. Maybe they prefer someone cheaper with term though. Because in a year they'll still need to find a replacement for Andy. That's a pure rental situation and I don't know how interested they'd be in that.
 
I'm not sure they can wait for Bouchard to develop

Kid had a pretty studly rookie ahl year after a phenomenal last year in junior. Big RHD. 21. IMO crazy to give him up for an expensive 30yr old who just hasn't been very good the last couple years at least.

oh I like Bouchard, but unless they're truly a special talent, usually they take a few years to be able to be trusted properly and Edmonton isn't exactly bursting with great NHLers on defense.
