Here we’ve put together a collection of scouting reports and highlights of newly drafted defenceman, Evan Bouchard. The Edmonton Oilers selected Bouchard with the 10th overall pick despite being ranked higher on many lists and rankings, potentially finding a solution to a longstanding hole on the depth chart.
The Oilers came to Dallas with a couple of things in mind. They were aggressively shopping for a right shot d-man while at the same time they needed to make sure they hit a home run with the 10th overall pick. Evan Bouchard may very well be the answer to both of those problems for…
Despite all of the rumours about their pick being in play, the Edmonton Oilers stepped up to the podium and used their 10th overall pick to select puck-moving defenceman Evan Bouchard from the London Knights.
With the NHL Draft kicking off in a few minutes I figured I would put something out real quick about the rumours that have been flying around the Internet. Some are interesting, some are complete fiction. Which is which? I’m here to help you find out.
Dustin Nielson went live on our Facebook page again this afternoon and answered your questions from Dallas as we inch closer to the first round of the NHL Draft.

Peter Chiarelli reiterated yesterday he is open to acquiring a…
