Did Evan Bouchard deserve to be benched?

After his terrible performance against the Las Vegas Golden Knights, Tyler Yaremchuk goes through the breakdowns in Bouchard’s defensive game and how he ultimately is responsible for 2 of the 3 goals against.

Should Kris Kooblauch make an example of Bouchard? Or will he figure it out on his own? Let us know what you think down in the comments

  7. I’ve been saying this about bouch for a year now! He’s lazy and an absolute defensive liability… offensive perks or not he is the cause of 90% of my rage to the oilers. As soon as he has to back check he’s absolutely useless! Riddle me this, if he scores 1 goal every single game, but is the cause of 2 goals every single game, sure he has 82 goals BUT he’s -82 on the season now (saying there’s no other goals) but how does that make sense? He is NOT worth 10 mil in my eyes we should give him 5-7 if he’s lucky or trade him. I could gaf about Bouchard. He’s an overhyped canon is all. Why not get Barrie back at least he backchecks ffs

  10. in pee wee sports the teach you to play hard to the whistle i dont understand the lack of effort when the game is close. he either needs to sit a game or demoted to the third pairing and make him play hard to get back to where he was

  12. Id rather have a D man who can play Defense. He's playing his way into being worth less on the market, but for the 6 plus mill he ends up getting, I'd rather see 1-2 non spectacular but solid Real D men.

  14. "you just gotta get better and learn from it." Yes and no. For sure we learn from mistakes and get better. However, respectfully this is a trend with Bouch. At this point I think buddy needs a sit down or perhaps a bench for ONE game. Not only to send a message to himself, but the whole team in general as a wakeup call.

  17. I want to see it again, but someone seemed to just pass the puck to a Vegas player in the Vegas zone when he wasn't under any pressure. Vegas scored the winning goal right after. Henrique? I don't know if anyone pointed that out. It looked brutal.

  18. If they sign him to a big contract, anything over 6 a year, they'll regret that contract. And 6 million a year is probably high too. Never great at defense. And too many stupid mistakes and effortless games
