Edmonton Oilers select defenceman Evan Bouchard 10th overall in NHL draft
DALLAS — Evan Bouchard has already started thinking about passing the puck to Connor McDavid.
The Edmonton Oilers selected the defenceman 10th overall in the first round of the NHL draft on Friday, filling a need on the blue line with the slick 18-year-old from Oakville, Ont.
“For me, I’m just trying to take it one step and a time (and) enjoy the process,” Bouchard said. “I know there’s a lot of stuff to work on for next season.
“The goal for me is to go into main camp ready and turn heads from there.”
