TSN: If John Klingberg has as profitable go in Edmonton, and possibly earns an extension, does if impression pending RFA Evan Bouchard in any respect? They received Darnell Nurse at over $9 million, can they pay Bouchard greater than that? Darren Dreger:
“Properly, they might not have a alternative. The flip facet to that’s okay, how do you fill the outlet of Evan Bouchard in case you create a gap? That’s the place you get into the John Klingberg dialog. No person expects that he’s going to overhaul the ice time of Evan Bouchard or any of that. However as we go into this course of, I feel it’s a good dialog to have as to the way it may affect it.
Finest-case state of affairs in all of that is that Bouchard earns a longer-term or an extended keep in Edmonton primarily based on his play. There’s just a few other ways we will think about this.”
