What's the report on him for those of us who don't follow the prospects?

For sure they signed the right prospect!! You don’t loose a prospect like Hillis for free after the season he had!!

 

[OldCraig71]

WTK they listened to you lol. How good could this kid be? Current NHLer you would compare him to?

[ZUKI]

Good for the Habs and good for the health of several fans that were near a panic mode

 

[Adam Michaels]

So now they have the 1 of the 4 CHL prospects signed that MB alluded to a few months ago.

I do wonder if they will sign another one.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Boom goes the dynamite!

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

As expected, he's the most deserving of the guys on our ELC list. Somebody needs to tell WTK he can stop writing all those angry emails now

A smaller Jake Evans? should have inked his line mate Pavel Gogolev.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Hillis, Ylönen, Khisamutdinov, and Hawel, as well as Teasdale from the start, and possibly Romanov (if not in NHL for him) will join Primeu, Poehling, Brook, Fleury, and possibly Kotkaniemi (if not in NHL for him).

I can't stand these ads on mobile or desktop. So I'll reply below.

Thank god they signed him. It's the right decision.

I dont know if he will play center at the next level but i think they should try to develop him there.

For those who want a scouting report. Hes energetic like Gallagher, though not as strong. He will go anywhere on the ice to produce. He was insane on the dot this year and has some really soft hands. Hes gotten better this year at adding deception to his release. Hes got a good not great shot but its enough of a threat to allow players to play him honestly.

He improved his skating a lot this year as well so that one knock is gone.

The thing with this kid is vision. Vision. Hes got it. Hes a very strong playmaker and he always makes the right passes but also sees the passes most players dont.

A couple years with Bouchard and he could be a legitimate top 9 forward with top 6 upside.

Really really like this kid. When you use the word character. You mean it with him. Does charity work etc.

Clearly MB reads the HFboards for advice.

 

[WeThreeKings]

My boy. Bouchard should develop him well.

I wish we'd get an ECHL team and sign more of our prospects. I know there's the 50 contract limit, but even signing them to AHL deals would be good and then we could call up players we drafted to the Rocket instead of signing whoever's available when we need to fill out Laval's roster.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Bouchard said that when he came in two seasons ago, the organization needed to look left and right to sign players to fill out the organization. Now, they are in a position where they can develop their own drafted players.

i wouldn't be surprised to see Bourque signing an AHL contract .At the end of next seasons, there will be few contracts ending , so if he plays well they could sign him next season.

Love this signing, hopefully they don't rush him.

Sounds a bit like Hudon am I wrong?

 

[WeThreeKings]

Maybe a little but a better skater, more tenacious, not as much of a shooter and a legit playmaker

 

[ahmedou]

Should be the first one to be signed...

 

[DiglettDangles]

Anyone else surprised he basically signed for the max ELC salary? I am on board to sign Hillis but where does it end if R3 players get the R1 treatment?

 

[CrAzYNiNe]

My boy. Bouchard should develop him well.

What’s your interest in this kid?
