I liked Boucher and am still rooting for him. That being said, the last time he was called up, I didn't think he played with enuff desperation and hunger in his game to make an impression. He looked really casual out there and I think he had a turnover, Greener benched him the rest of the game. I like having him in our system as well. If anything, he's helping and teaching our prospects how to win in the pro game. It's nice to see our farm team doing well and winning rather than struggling and losing. It's great to have an AHL superstar help our prospects score as well, bodes well for their confidence.

Boucher is probably one of those guys that are top 6 or bust in the NHL. He has good skill and a great shot, but doesn't have the speed, grit, size,
and checking ability that couches like in the bottom 6. Greener seems to want to go with some size, muscle and grit who have some skill throughout the lineup, so it's hard to see a fit here for Boucher (same for Bearcheese and Golds). Although with the way our guys rack up injuries, It's nice to have Boucher as a depth player for us in the organization.

With NHL expansion just around the corner, Boucher will probably stick around for a couple more years in North America. It'll probably be his best chance to make a NHL club. If he still can't make it after that, I won't be surprised if he tries Europe or the KHL.

Boucher the type that might thrive with an expansion team, like the Seattle somethings.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Too bad Hoglander keeps giving those sweet feeds to Kings-prospect Fagemo, Blob must be needing to change his underwear with every goal.

Fagemo does seem to be a sniper. Him and Hoglander have good chemistry

He’s built like a tank. Seems to be having a good season in the SHL.

Watching some of Podkolzin's passes, and they all seem to be wasted. I would love to see him play with some constant linemates, and a bit of chemistry.
The Cup is soooooo ours!!!!!!!

We dont need Hughes to have more contract leverage Mick. Hes already going to be worth the moon.

Best case ontario is he doesnt win the calder or go to the ASG...he rests and continues to improve and has his contract year the one right after signing

You wont be getting a job in public relations with the Canucks. Gotta sell seats and team collectible paraphernalia.

It's a fine line between logical and compelling.
