US EditionOilers Sign Evan Bouchard to Four-Year, $42-Million Contract Extension
- On Monday, June 30, 2025, the Edmonton Oilers secured Evan Bouchard with a four-year contract extension valued at $42 million.
- Bouchard became eligible for restricted free agency once his prior $3.9 million salary cap contract expired, prompting the Oilers to take action to retain him.
- Bouchard posted a career-high average ice time of 23 minutes, 27 seconds last season, scoring 67 points in 82 games and tallying 23 points in 22 playoff games.
- With an average annual salary of $10.5 million, Bouchard will rank as the NHL's fourth-highest-paid defenseman, following Erik Karlsson, Drew Doughty, and Rasmus Dahlin.
- By extending Bouchard, the Oilers secured a key two-way defenceman but now have limited salary cap space for other free agents, suggesting future roster moves may require trades.
