    Arguably, one of the most important aspects of signing a player to a new contract is estimating how he will age. It's also the hardest thing to get right.

    Evan Bouchard is a terrifying player who creates terrifying situations - in more ways than one. For opposing teams, he's one of the league's scariest players from the back end, a dynamic puck-mover with no fear of jumping into the play with reckless abandon to facilitate offense. He creates odd-numbered situations for the Oilers that overwhelm defenses, adding substantially to Edmonton's offensive superpower. The threat of his booming shot, the Bouch Bomb, is a true terror.
