Bouchard agreed to terms on a four-year, $42 million contract with Edmonton on Monday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bouchard becomes the fourth-highest-paid defenseman in the NHL behind Erik Karlsson, Drew Doughty and Rasmus Dahlin heading into next season. The 25-year-old Bouchard has missed just two games over the past four seasons, showing strong durability along with plenty of offensive upside. With his role on the Oilers' No. 1 power-play unit, Bouchard should continue to offer elite-level fantasy value.

Bouchard notched two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Bouchard has been all or nothing in the playoffs. He has four multi-point efforts and three scoreless outings this postseason, totaling four goals, five assists, 23 shots on net, eight blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating. Just two of those points have come on the power play -- his pair of goals in Game 3 of the first round versus the Kings -- so there's still potentially another level for the defenseman to reach. Bouchard is a lock to play big minutes throughout the playoffs.
