-Vintage Canuck- Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Quote Vancouver, B.C. - Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the club has recalled centre Reid Boucher from the Utica Comets. Boucher, 24, ranks second on the Comets in scoring this season with 10 points (3-7-10) in 10 games. He also leads the team in shots (34) and ranks tied for second in power play goals. Last season, Boucher made his debut with the Canucks, collecting seven points (2-5-7) in 27 games. He has appeared in 112 career NHL games and has registered 37 points (17-20-37) and 18 penalty minutes. The Lansing, Michigan native was originally selected in the fourth round, 99th overall, in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft by the New Jersey Devils. https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/vancouver-canucks-reid-boucher/c-292712864 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipBlunt Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Any idea as to why Boucher is being recalled? Is there a trade happening? And is Green going to bag skate his ass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbyg43 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Why? So he can press box a few games ? He will be chewed up in waivers again when sent down after stint here. Unless there is a trade being considered? i would have just brought up Megna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhdlois Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Is it anything to do with too many vets in Utica again ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. He's the only veteran exempt and they can dress one per game. It's the veterans with more than 320 games the issue - he's not one of them.

Ossi Vaananen Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I'm thinking someone's banged up if they felt the need to recall another forward. Keep in mind, we just brought up Guance, this gives us two extra forwards for the first time all season. I shall choose to speculate sir! In which I believe there is a trade wherein 3 roster players are moved, while Boucher slots in and Eriksson/Edler are activated off IR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Seems like an odd choice in one of Utica's best forwards. I'd rather take Rodin away, but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rollieo Del Fuego Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Rodin should have stayed up and he should be in the lineup....my griddle is still frying over this one....it will be so evident that he should have been here all along...just like Boeser ...we need Rodin's skill, tenacity and shot (super accurate).... ....Boucher...really....
