Edmonton’s Oilers have re-signed Evan Bouchard, loving one of the most versatile defenders in the League for four years, several reports said on Monday.
TSN indicated that the contact extension is estimated at $ 42 million.
Bouchard, 25, made his debut with the Oilers in 2018-2019, but has become a pillar in the last four seasons. He played in 326 328 possible games in the regular season and recorded 52 goals and 180 assists during this period. During the 2023-24 season, he totaled 82 points in 81 games played (18 goals, 64 aids).
The selection of the first 2018 first round was a key figure in the dynamic offensive of Edmonton and the consecutive titles of the Western Conference. He has a dazzling right shot and raised seven goals and 23 points during the race for the eliminatory series in 2024-25 after 32 points in 25 playoffs the previous year.
In addition, Edmonton re-signed the Kasperi Kapanen striker to an agreement of $ 1.3 million, according to reports.
The Oilers picked up the veteran of three other NHL teams after St. Louis released 10 games in the 2024-25 season. He provided a spark in the playoffs, scoring three goals in 12 games, notably the winner of the match in overtime in match 5 against Vegas to propel Edmonton in the final of the Western Conference. He added two goals in this series against Dallas stars.
