Prospect Info: Tyler Boucher (F) - PART II

[Tuna99]

Nice. Boucher’s going to be big for this team. When he arrives he’ll be solid

 

[Agent Zub]

So what kind of point projections are people expecting?

I think ppg would be fair right? He's actually a pretty good athlete so I'm expecting he will be able to physically dominate most players in this league.

 

[OD99]

Guess we will see if he can back up his rough play with dropping the mitts too. Brady had no trouble but will be interested to see how quick he gets in to a fight as he can't expect to run around and not scrap.

Obviously hope he produces right away but definitely nervous...if he doesn't put up good numbers here it will be a big red flag and just heap loads of pressure and negativity on him.

I'd be worried if he doesn't produce at a pt per game clip or close to it understanding that their will be a bit of an adjustment period changing leagues little lone teams mid season

 

[Cosmix]

If he has an underwhelming 2022-23 season; I'll take what your saying. As of now, he still has time to turn it around. He's definitely not a Blake Wheeler/Rick Nash; but he could develop into a Lucic/Foligno like player.

I don't see the offensive skills of Foligno nor the size and physicality of Lucic.

He might become a Chris Neil type of player.

His dad says he’s not really a fighter, but will have to learn to answer the bell.

 

[Cosmix]

A lot of people said the same thing about Brady

Brady was taken about where he was ranked by most reliable assessors, whereas Boucher was taken early, well before where all reliable assessors had him ranked.

 

[Cosmix]

The Senators should hire Neil to teach him how to do it. Neil's strategy for taking on bigger opponents like Chara would come in useful to Boucher.

 

[Cosmix]

I wouldn’t stat watch with him.
He’s only played 46 games since 2019.

Sens took a huge gamble on him, likely because of character and bloodlines, hoping he turns into the next Tom Wilson.

We literally won’t have any idea of what he is until the end of next year.

Yes it will take more time to see what he can do. End of next year is end of 2023.

Normally at this point in his career for a high draft pick 1.5 per game in the OHL is sort of a floor. Generally I am worried if its under 1.25. But all players are different. and that said, i think with the way covid has affected the players ability to be on the ice the last two years, switching leagues mid season, his own health issues, I'd be happy with a ppg. Much less, then its more cause for concern.

 

[Bileur]

I don't see the offensive skills of Foligno nor the size and physicality of Lucic.

Chris Neil had a pretty special career. If he can have a career like that with less fighting but better scoring that would be an very good top 10 pick.

He has played so few games over the last couple years. I’d like to see about 1.1-1.25 ppg next year. This year I just want to see some good overall play. I hope they can put him with Beck when he’s back.

[Burrowsaurus]

Boucher is taking quick shifts and looks like he can barely move

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

[Burrowsaurus]

Boucher injured..?

[Senator Stanley]

Did he just get hurt? Went for the big hit and looked like he hurt his shoulder.

Did they say this on the broadcast? Didn't take long to make the call, if so.

 

[Emerica]

[Icelevel]

Holy crap. What a horrible start to his career.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Did they say this on the broadcast? Didn't take long to make the call, if so.

Didn’t look like he could play at the start of the game either.

 

[Tuna99]

Darn it. Cheering for the comeback

 

[Burrowsaurus]

[Goon42]

Im rooting for this guy but wow what a terrible year and a half for him
