Sit Larsson and play Bouchard you cowards.
We need D men who can pass the puck on the breakout in the worst way.

If he goes to Bakersfield it pretty much means he isnt playing for the big club after that.he will get more practicing with NHL players than he will practicing with AHL/ECHL level players.
I’m sure once Bakersfield’s regular season starts he’ll be on the top pairing if he’s not playing for the Oilers.

One of those names is not like the others.I would have been in the group that says keep him away from this train wreck until next year, while he continues to hone his skills. But after seeing the first 6 games of the season, I'm not sure how he can possibly be worse than Bear, Larrson, or Jones. If we flounder against the Jets, give the kid a chance.

21 1/2 and barely touched the lineup?
Is he the next juolevi? Or do you guys actually expect him to be a good NHL'er?

Nurse is top 4. How did we rush him?Oilers aren't rushing Bouchard. It's easy to see even in the AHL - his passing/vision and wrist shot are elite - but his intensity in his own zone is low.
Oilers didn't rush Klefbom and Petry... but did rush Nurse. I feel Bouchard shoved into the lineup would be like the Canucks rushing Joulevi + Hoglander.
Teams like the Isles and Devils have fewer D prospects than the Oilers so they have roster spots. I think Lagesson is BETTER than Bouchard right now and deserves to be in the NHL. Oilers basically lost John Marino because of the prospect depth... which I think Holland needs to rectify. He needs to trade a D for a forward prospect.

I agree.He could have spent another year in the AHL working on his offense on the PP. I felt the Oilers stunted his offensively potential. His first year in the NHL was also pretty brutal.
Hmmmm, maybe we shouldn't be that worried about Bouchard's defensive play after all. Larsson has been getting cratered these last 2 years. Could trying Bouch be that much worse?
We so badly need more D that can actually pass to skating teammates.
Can you do this trick to the Oilers' bottom 6 too?Delete

With Barrie's PP struggles, I would like to see Bouchard in for the next game.
If that's not going to be the case, send him to Bakersfield.
Why do we need to play Bouch as the 7th d man?
Larsson has been train wrecks in the defensive end and brings nothing for offence or transition, even if Bouchard struggles defensively and can move the puck thats still an upgrade
Did you even notice that Ennis was playing last night aside from when banged his stick after a play was whistled down ?Why do we need to play Bouch as the 7th d man?
