Wish the best for him. His lack of footspeed just didn't mesh with Hynes' system. Think he can thrive with the right system

 

[Skobel24]

Figured he'd get claimed.

 

[Balthazar]

Just in time for the game!

 

[Skobel24]

Just in time for the game!

I would love to see him play tonight and get a few goals.

 

[Soundgarden]

Lol, I said in the last thread I'd wished we got him instead of Pardy, guess we have both now.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

best of luck to him.

If he plays today, you know he will score.

Kinda like the Mike Brown claim by MTL last year. The Habs claimed him on waivers before the SJ-MTL game.

 

[Roman Yoshi]

Very happy with this claim. Low risk. High reward.

 

[Sheros expletives]

He har proven last year that he can produce in the right environment, sad to see him go but i wish him all the best.

 

[SladeWilson23]

UGH!

Good luck Reid!

 

[AfroThunder396]

Nashville has some playmakers up front, can see him doing alright there.

Wish him the best, it just wasn't going to work for him in NJ. Would like to have gotten an asset back but whatever.

For those interested, this would have cost Nashville $56,250, not counted against the cap, paid to New Jersey.

 

[Maukkis]

Nashville has a load of injured forwards, so while this may not be a long term acquisition, it's a good one regardless.

 

[VoidCreature]

I understand why we did this, I even agree with it for the most part. But still, it's a sad day. Hope Boosh can flourish in Nashville.

 

[Redline]

Good claim, Boucher can help.

For those interested, this would have cost Nashville $56,250, not counted against the cap, paid to New Jersey.

Honestly I think fans would be more upset if nashville gave up a 7th-round pick than 56k

Haha

Nashville has a load of injured forwards, so while this may not be a long term acquisition, it's a good one regardless.

Nashville only has 2 forwards injured and another forward on a conditioning assignment.

With everyone healthy Reid Boucher will probably end up being the 13th or 14th forward on Nashville's roster. He stays with Nashville for the rest of the year unless he has a major meltdown.

 

[Toronto makebeleifs]

This claim makes alot of sense actually. Wished we could've had him, hope he does well in nsh

 

[ghdi]

But still, it's a sad day.

No, it's really not.

Best of luck to him, but he's a borderline NHL'er at best and out of the league in a year or two at worst.
