Reid Boucher

[nj_cup]

yeah very lucky indeed! one thing i give sather credit for is he is a master at making trades.

that gomez deal was insane and to almost pull this off? then again bring in a rookie stamkos to the big city who knows he might have crumbled

 

[TiLoBrown]

I think he would have, considering the NY media has no clue what "time to develop" means

Rangers had done deal for Stamkos | New York Post

your right i'm sorry they were looking to trade him AFTER melrose got fired for wanting to send him to the minors.

I remember that. It was some backdoor scam deal where Sather went straight to that moron Barrie. I'd imagine all of Tampa's management would have walked out the door if Barrie forced his way through the trade.

Devils: Reid Boucher begins making a case to earn an NHL roster spot | NJ.com

 

[MadCaptain]

So much for making the team. Boucher is in the first cuts. Heading to Albany.

 

[MCDevils]

Not really surprised.

 

[rp2five]

Not surprised either. He has time. Let him learn the game more. Injuries happen and he might be called up this season.
I am more interested what they end up doing on defense.

Cup, look at MC's post. The kid had a terrible start but is firing it up now. Probably want to see some consistency but he's looking good lately

Say WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Good debut for the youngen! Only 12 mins of ice time but an assist and +1 and the icing on the cake.....a SHOOTOUT GOAL! Can we just get Reid to do all the shootout attempts?

Looking good lately is an understatement. Obviously haven't seen him play, but the stat lines are pretty.

Also, Lou and Pete said they rushed Matteau, frankly they might have kept him longer than they should have because of that a-hole coach in JRs who basically tried to run Matteau out of town. They both admitted it wasn't the best thing to do for his development, so they might as well let him season.

Frankly, once everyone is healthy, unless Reid is the second coming (which he might just be) they should send him down too. Both of these guys are really young, and need to season. There's a reason that Gelinas and Merrill look way more NHL ready at times than Larsson at times.

Seemed to find some chemistry with Loki & Ryder too.

If we can get that line going.....

 

[irishwhip03]

Playing on a line with Jagr and Zajac tonight. Big opp for the kid.

 

[CalamityX11]

He's already making zajac a better player

lol, I liked Zajac's quip about the Zajac. Zubrus Jagr line:

"If we had any speed we'd be unstopable".

Didn't know Travis had a sense of humor....
