I think the team was really hoping the Comets would see a long post season this year with all that depth, for the long term benefit of guys like Juolevi, MDP, Lind etc. I'll be lookin forward to watching more games next year. Even with Boucher gone, we are at the point our young guns can start to come in and replace him and others. But to say all our young guys will replace the scoring of say Baertchi, Goldobin, and Boucher...whew, gonna be tough! I see them being a defense first team next year...no wonder they kept Cull...he's been able to make ECHL talent look like solid AHL talent... Mikey DiPietro is gonna be busy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the team was really hoping the Comets would see a long post season this year with all that depth, for the long term benefit of guys like Juolevi, MDP, Lind etc. It certainly hurts the development of those 3 above and others as well. I think of Jonah Gadjovich who was starting to come into his own loses that stretch of games and experience to enter back into the conversation as a legitimate prospect. Additionally, Lukas Jasek who was having a very promising year in transition from wing to centre doesn't get a shot to up his value in the prospect system. I even think of a guy like Guillaume Brisebois who was really showing himself to be a pillar on the Comet's blueline, doesn't get that extra look to even create that conversation of whether he is ready for the NHL next season. Hopefully the AHL can find a contingency plan to start up ASAP so that our prospects don't lose anymore time from development. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Too bad we don't get any Comets games here. Feel left in the dark about a lot of our junior players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Him, Goldy, and likely Baer being gone.. those are big losses. Gonna be interesting to see how Utica responds whenever they get playing again, which could be a good ways off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googlie Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) Begs the question ..... if the AHL starts next season in, say, November, and the NHL in January, will teams send their big club waiver-exempt players to kick start their farm teams for the first 15 or 20 games? Would Petey and QH still be exempt next season? Edited June 24, 2020 by Googlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble 6 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Lind's numbers went up significantly in part because he was playing with Boucher right? We'll see what he can do next year as the go-to guy. That should be a great test for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I understand that with the number of players/coaches/staff in hockey a scumbag or two is numerically inevitable. But I'm wondering if in Juniors there's going to need to be discussion about personal conduct. I realize these kids aren't getting paid. But they need guidance and direction to help mold them as good people, and make proper choices in life. The great news is the majority are good people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Reid- in the news, for the wrong reasons-AGAIN: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/winter-olympics/reid-boucher-released-by-khl-team-amid-sexual-misconduct-charges/ar-AAU2IW0?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531 Reid Boucher has been released by KHL club Lokomotiv Yaroslavl amid charges and multiple accusations of inappropriate conduct with minors. Lokomotiv Yaroslavl has terminated the contract of forward Reid Boucher on Friday morning, ending the former Vancouver Canuck and New Jersey Devil's tenure with the club after less than one season. Prior to his release, Boucher had become Lokomotiv's leading scorer, with 27 points in 46 games to that point in the year, and based on performance alone, would have likely been a leading candidate to earn a spot on Team USA at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. On Dec. 13, Boucher pled guilty to third-degree criminal sexual conduct against a minor in a Washtenaw County Trial Court. Boucher was originally charged in the first degree, which would have carried a sentence of 25 years in prison, before the overseeing judge allowed his lawyers to enter a plea deal that reduced the charges due to "unusual circumstances". These charges stem from two incidents that occurred in 2011 when Boucher, then with the United States National Development Program, forced his then-"billet sister" to perform sexual acts on him. Boucher was 17 at the time, while his "billet sister" was only 12. Boucher was sentenced to four years probation and one year of suspended jail time on Feb. 1. In the months since Boucher's conduct went public, two more women have come forward with testimonies of their own. According to The Athletic's Katie Strang, a then-21-year-old Boucher, who was a prospect of the New Jersey Devils at the time, allegedly attempted to solicit explicit photos from a 15-year-old Canadian girl in October of 2014. The girl reportedly first met Boucher at a hockey banquet when she was 12 and Boucher was 18. Strang also reports that, in January of 2014, Boucher allegedly sent messages to a then-17-year-old girl over Facebook asking for her to send him explicit photos, as well. The girl, now 22, declined Boucher's request, and, according to Strang, put her male cousin on the phone when the conversation moved to Skype due to feeling uncomfortable. Representatives for Lokomotiv Yaroslavl did not respond to Strang's request to comment at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the latter then Reid isn't the only person needing a new job. - Also this might well impact what happens to Jake Virtanen over there, pending the outcome of his trial here.

If it was easily transferred? onto young unexperienced players we would see much more of it from young unexperienced players. Since we do not see this behaviour from multiple unexperienced players, on the team; a person can deduct it is not easily transferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
