Yesterday, the Lightning announced the signing of QMJHL forward Alex Barré-Boulet. He is scoring at a prolific rate in his age 20 season. He leads the league with 104 points in just 56 games. And that follows seasons where he scored 81 and 89 points in 65 games. The main reason he went undrafted is likely his size. Eliteprospects lists him at 5’7” and 165 lbs. Scouts also expressed concerns about his skating, as Geo noted in his writeup.
Let’s be clear about this signing: Barré-Boulet is unlikely to be a significant contributor in the NHL.
