I'd love for you to be right. But ... Rasmus Dahlin ... Quinn Hughes is way, way better than I imagined.
I really liked Noah Dobson in that draft. He could be a first pairing d-man, though maybe more two-way than Bouchard.
Sounds like Bouchard is having a solid first pro year in Bakersfield. The Oil desperately need a high end, high hockey IQ offensive defenseman to run the power play. Here's hoping he gets there!
Dahlin and Hughes are amazing but still shy of greatness.
Bouchard has a ways to go to even be as good but as it stands does have the potential to be better. His offense is more traditional but on another level. Things he has said make me believe he will add a two way dimension to his play as well.
His elite vision and passing combined with McDrai could be something otherworldly.
Dobson is the kind of player that has a much higher floor but a much lower ceiling as well. The way he is being used this year really makes me think he will be brought along slowly in a shutdown type role. Which will make him a solid two way guy but he does not have the high end offensive capabilities of anyone else mentioned.
