Probably not seeing that McMillan was waived but not sent down.

I was googling re the rumours on Guy Boucher... and this is what turned up - was also in other papers but this was probably the most detailed article in german: Cory Conacher coming to SCB - what will Guy Boucher do?
Conacher has apparently signed with Guy Boucher's Swiss Club SC Bern for next year in the hope to reignite his career. According to that article Boucher is the one behind the signing as they know each other. The article also highlights the rumours of Boucher going back to the NHL.
The article adds that they have a credible source that confirmed that he did indeed sign but that Conacher has an out-clause that he can still activate before the summer. Their GM did not want to comment (he didn't deny it) and only confirmed that Boucher has been contacted by an NHL team.
It could be that they are delaying the official announcement because of that out-clause - maybe Conacher is making his commitment dependent on Boucher's decision to return to NA or not. It's also poor timing given the play-off run in Utica - the Canucks probably did not expect him to leave given that he is an RFA.
The minute they played Brandon MacMillan instead of Conacher it was safe to say he wasn't coming back.
