Ça "bouche" un trou dans l'organigramme de l'organisation.

Boucher = fill up/clog a hole

The more steps the Habs take towards just being a competently managed NHL team, the more this feels like an episode of Black Mirror.

Yeah apparently, one of the articles said that he was active on twitter and hockey forums before he was approached by SportsLogiq and then afterwards by SJ

Smart hire. In a league with a salary cap, the rich teams need to flex their spending in other advantageous ways. This is one of them.

Here's an interview from when the Sharks hired him.
The Sharks Scout Who Came From Twitter
The San Jose Sharks’ newest scout came from Twitter. In 2010, Christopher Boucher began putting his hand-tracked micro-stats out to the world, on Twitter and Montreal Canadiens blog Eyes on the Prize, among other places. These were stats that few were tracking — in large part because of the time...

Time to get @montreal , @Whitesnake and @Adam Michaels a job now . Montreal can be a video scout, Whitesnake can handle the HR department and Adam can do press stuff. Spread our influence everywhere !

Glad they are able to have him start right away before the draft so he can contribute.
Hopefully they grab Madden Jr also for next year.

The day you hire @Whitesnake for HR, is the day you start to hear "the day you X, is the day you X" in press conferences.Time to get @montreal , @Whitesnake and @Adam Michaels a job now . Montreal can be a video scout, Whitesnake can handle the HR department and Adam can do press stuff. Spread our influence everywhere !

Back when HF used to have prospect grading for each team, I think Boucher was the one doing it for habs prospects.
Whitesnake
If you rebuild, they will come.

Yes please some Madden Jr would be amazing.
Look at Anaheim's draft record since he's with them (2007?). Amazing compared to ours....
Setting up a new analytics department, that makes more sense than allowing a clown GM to operate on hunches.
Each and every day as we move forward, we get more info that verifies our previous GM was running a one man Gong Show.
Good on HuGo for surrounding themselves with smart people.

He was with SJ so I would assume any data relevant to the 2022 draft is under a NDA.
Although he was more on the pro scouting side of things so who knows.

Reading the tea leaves, I doubt Madden Jr. Moves laterally outside of Anaheim. I think Doré is the guy coming

Depends on what the Non-Disclosure covered. All reports and any personally tracked data is almost definitely covered by an NDA, but a lot of the underlying information/stats may not be, since it can be acquired from public sources.
