Nuxfanabroad Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 This guy Boeser Bo Baer Rodin Virtanen If most of these kids get it together, we're collecting lots of fwds that can fire the biscuit. Interesting news to wake up to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think silky is oversimplifying it with the "meat and potatoes" thing - although that is a definite plus imo. Just read Bo's take on Boucher - "can put the puck in from anywhere". Lets hope thats true. One big + for the coaching staff this year is the development of Baer so maybe there's a template there to round out this guys game too.

He's been recovering from an injury that I'm pretty sure he aggravated by coming back early. Give the guy a break lol. ah you do not know alf a player has to produce now or sooner and immediately display his full potential or he is no longer worthy alf has already written off joulevi based on the fins poor performance in the world juniors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orcasgonewild Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Reid bouchard was a good pickup A sniper and if put on a good line will see 20 goals at the nhl level maybe more... Needs help defensively but still quiet a good pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neko Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Heard of this guy before when he was in the jr, apparently he can be a scorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Quick question: Does this guy have a history with any of our players/coaches? Any extra reason JB might have the inside goods on this bloke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Straight swap him for Megna. Though I am curious as to what this does to our roster, as I believe we have an extra FWD, and an extra D up. But, haven't put Hansen on LTIR, so I assume that's before anyone is waived. I like Chaput on the 4th, and Gaunce brings what he can in limited minutes. It's Megna that's the headscratcher. He can't get it done with the twins, and has been gifted PP time for some reason. Who do you guys slide in first, Rodin or Boucher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Getting healthier on the farm, too. It's nice we're adding bodies, as we sometimes go bananas with injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Crossbar Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Good pick up. Think Benning may have found in Boucher what he was looking for out of Etem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His goal on NSH the other night was terrific, he read the play early and started skating early and took the stretch pass for a breakaway on goal. He was pressured hard, but stayed on it and scored.

hammertime Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I'm reserving any judgment until I actually see this kid suit up in the Blue and Green Ill spot the kid 10 games. On the surface I can't wrap my head around grabbing this kid over Rattie who has previous chem with Baer. However 19pts in 39 games averaging nearly 2 shots a game and 14 mins last year is pretty darn good. I trust Benning knows more about these kids than I do. Lets hope he was worth dropping down to the bottom of the waiver claim list for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to focus on the entirety of the interview, although it was great listening, I want to key in on one specific thing that was mentioned by Tomlinson at the 11:35 mark, which is below: Every time you make a waiver claim, you go to the back of the bus. So you can't just claim guys willy-nilly, three days in a row. Please be aware, this isn't to put Tomlinson on blast here, but I am concerned when things like this are said on the radio, because as we see below, it's incorrect. Those kind of misunderstandings can then grow and cause confusion. I have heard this statement/rule mentioned before, and it's not a rule within the collective bargaining agreement between the NHL and NHLPA.
