DALLAS, TX -You've probably heard by now.
The talk of Oilers 10th-overall selection Evan Bouchard's draft year production and how it compares to the numbers some of the best defencemen in the National Hockey League put up when they played junior. Players including Los Angeles Kings stalwart Drew Doughty, who had 79 as a 16-year-old and 59 when he was 17. More than St. Louis Blues captain Alex Pietrangelo (62) and Florida Panthers backbone Aaron Ekblad (59).
Bouchard recorded 92 points in 71 total games in the 2017-18 season, blowing many others out the water with a 1.30 point per game average.
