Did Cam skate towards Kaberle every time he made a pass during warmups?
Boucher may have gaps in his skillset, but from what I've seen - he more than makes up for them with smart play and positioning. For a smaller guy with skating issues he sure seems to come off the boards with some good passing, vision and just making himself a part of the play when some of our other "talented" smaller forwards just seem to find traffic and eliminate themselves from the play before they can even get close to the puck.
If he keeps piling up points and +'s I think it speaks to his value more than his stride or draft position.
