Kootenay Gold Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I see that Reid Boucher is back in the Utica lineup tonight. Hopefully he can help the team get a few wins going forward. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS4quality Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Boucher scored in his tenth goal of the season and looked pretty good pre-injury maybe he gets a chance to come up at some point and we can send Archibald down to help Utica as he is not very effective at the NHL level. Boucher could easily replace Goldie on the PP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 According to Elite Prospects, Boucher is currently already 8th all-time in points as a Utica Comet and will tie Alex Friesen with 2 more points. He's already tied Gaunce for 3rd all-time in goals with 42 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kootenay Gold Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 He will probably break a lot of the Comets records this year and perhaps next year. As good as he is at the AHL level I just don't view him as an NHL prospect anymore and don't think he is in the Canucks long term plans moving forward.

He might come to realize that a NHL career won't happen and decide to cash in on a Euro contract for more $'s than the AHL will pay him. I found Bieksa's comment in the After Hours about signing in Europe as interesting. A million$ contract with no taxes would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kootenay Gold Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 He is an RFA with arbitration rights this year if he is in fact qualified so that decision will have a big impact on what he may do next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as last year. They agreed on a contract before the qualifying deadline - he filed for arbitration the year before and Canucks probably wanted to avoid that. His qualifying offer would have been more favourable than the contract he ended up signing for - he was on a one-way but signed a two-way. His NHL salary is higher but not the AHL one and he has spent most of the season in the AHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree he tends not to have space to shoot, I would say thats more because he plays a perimeter game as opposed to his skating - which I thought was pretty good.

-AJ- Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 It'll be interesting to see what happens with Boucher this summer. He's arguably the best player Utica's ever had. He's already 4th all-time in points in just two seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny, last summer, Benning gave him a 1 year contract with no performance bonuses or signing bonuses (as opposed to his previous contract) and a 2-way $725 - $300 which I took to be an effort to keep him from bolting to Europe. So what happens next I have no clue Benning wants the kids to work hard to make the team. Internal competition has always been his mantra. Is this an old fashioned idea? A lot of people seem to think so including Treliving. Boucher would be the kind of guy he wants a young scoring winger to try to out play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckleHorse Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I would love to see this guy succeed if he could pull a Horvat and work like a beast on his skating he would possibly become a player for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it just doesn't work out. But maybe on another team he could find a spot, who knows, but there's really no spot for him here. He's not going to outplay anyone for a top 6 role.
