31. Evan Bouchard

An offensively-skilled Defenseman, Evan Bouchard has dazzled fans with a powerful slap shot, elite puck control, and skilled passing, to become one of the top blueliners as we enter the 2025-26 Season.

After a pair of 40-point years, Bouchard exploded in 2023-24 with 82 Points and a fifth-place Norris finish, which he followed with 67 Points the year after.  Without Bouchard, the Oilers would not have reached back-to-back Stanley Cups (2024 & 2025), and he is still improving.
