Bouchard posted eight goals and 40 points in 82 games with the Oilers last season. He added four goals and 17 points in 12 playoff games before the Oilers were eliminated in the second round.
Bouchard is coming off the three-year, $4.975 million entry-level contract he signed with the Oilers in July of 2018. The Oakville Ont., native represented Canada at the 2019 World Junior Championship in Vancouver and Victoria, B.C., where he had three assists in five games en route to a sixth-place finish.With Bouchard now signed, the Oilers roster for the upcoming season may be set.
The biggest splash of the team's off-season came in signing winger Connor Brown to a one-year contract with a $775,000 base salary, with up to $3.25 million available in games played bonuses.
