In the context of Hughes and Bouchard. One overpaid, the other way underpaid and way better.You brought up overpaid
So context on the purest definition of the word was needed

Some Oiler fans are definitely overrating Bouchard in this thread and Hughes is the better Dman with the much more extensive track record but there's no doubt that the gap has closed and this isn't just based on the playoff series. It has nothing to do with Hughes getting worse, Bouchard has gotten that much better over the past year.Oiler fans never cease to amaze me.
Bouchard is the only one overrated here.
Everybody has that black sheep that is overpaid. Just like EP for the Canucks next year.Overpaid by definition is Nurse
A top 5 highest paid dman in the league this season
I'll take overrated defensively over a guy who should be sitting in the AHL press box until he starts making an honest effort to stop playing like trash in his own zone.Everybody has that black sheep that is overpaid. Just like EP for the Canucks next year.
Nurse just happens to be ours.
Hughes is the better dman but he’s overrated defensively.
Wild seeing a Norris candidate being compared to a guy who is so bad in his own zone that he doesn't even belong in the NHL.

Looking at the amount of other elite Dmen in the league and peaking at the upcoming defensive prospects I doubt that Bouchard even gets a top 5 Norris placing and I actually like him as a player.
For me it was Larry Murphy vibes, a good primarily offensive Dman playing with some exceptional offensive talent.
I feel sorry for Canucks fans that have to deal with this posterI'll take overrated defensively over a guy who should be sitting in the AHL press box until he starts making an honest effort to stop playing like trash in his own zone.
I feel sorry for Oilers fans that have to watch Bouchard disgrace the franchise with his atrocious play in his own zone.I feel sorry for Canucks fans that have to deal with this poster
Every fanbase has them, Oilers have a few doozy ones in here.I feel sorry for Canucks fans that have to deal with this poster
Man. What.I feel sorry for Oilers fans that have to watch Bouchard disgrace the franchise with his atrocious play in his own zone.
He’s not that level of bad.I feel sorry for Oilers fans that have to watch Bouchard disgrace the franchise with his atrocious play in his own zone.
