Damn. I was hoping he'd be available at the end of the 1st.Speaking of being in the top 10, Button just posted his January rankings and he was at #10
With everyone good getting traded out of London, I kinda hope he moves to a contender, too.
Well-played thread bump.Is it a bad sign when you search to see if there is a thread about a prospect and when you find one you realize you started it?
I'm going to go like all my old posts now.Well-played thread bump.
Definitely advise you to check out a game. He’s all that he was at 16, with incredible offensive instincts and considerable skill.Caught a few games in his 16 year old season and came away more impressed by Bouchard than I was of Mete. He seems like a very smart, defensively sound defenceman.
What's his skating projected to be like at the NHL level?
Nothing wrong with projecting to someone like Cody Franson, just wondered if that was a weakness for him.
Here are some other notable PPG during their draft years:
Ryan Ellis: 1.6
Anthony DeAngelo: 1.4
Ryan Murphy: 1.3
Sam Girard: 1.1
Zach Bogosian: 1.0
Michael Del Zotto: 0.98
This.
PPG for defencemen in junior doesn't really mean anything. You still have to pass the eye test. I don't think anyone will try to argue that Bouchard is better than Doughty despite having a better PPG.

Both he and Regula remind me of Petro.Bouchard reminds me of Pietrangelo
