Canucklehead73 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I am not a scout or a coach... But if the Canucks are looking for a scoring forward... Why the heck is Reid Boucher not getting a call up? No offense to Zack MacEwan Boucher has 19 goals and 33 point in 23 games... Guy Deserves a call up. But like I said I am no expert.

He has had a number of chances in the NHL, but can't match the pace needed to continue to score. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The half a second difference in speed between the leagues makes the world of difference in a players ability to produce between the best and second best league in the world. There are many players that are elite in the AHL but cannot translate that skill to the NHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you add tags? You just write the tag in brackets before your thread title. In this case “Discussion” since you aren’t making a trade proposal. I edited your title this time but going forward please remember to tag your post or it will be locked. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Reid Boucher, Goldobin, and Baer all are more than a point a game at the AHL level. Yet both Goldobin and Baer did little to nothing when called up from the AHL. It sucks to be a tweener. Dominate the AHL, but can't make an impact in the NHL. I'm just happy Kole Lind and Gads are improving at the AHL level. Along with Rafferty and DiPietro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are lots of players like this. Archibald was another who put up great numbers in Utica and very little in the NHL. It's the toughest league in the world and as the competition ramps up, we're seeing production from young players and rookies slow down already as they have to make adjustments to their games to continue having an impact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Baer was until concussions and injuries derailed his career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your are right Boucher hasn't played in the NHL this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
