While many in Vancouver were waiting this morning to see if Vancouver would claim Ty Rattie off waivers, the Canucks claimed the other guy, Reid Boucher, a 23 year old LW.
According to John Shannon, Jim Benning likes Boucher’s shot and his drive:
Canucks claim Reid Boucher off waivers from NJ. Hope to add scoring depth.
JB: "He has a terrific release and he'll drive to the net hard."— John Shannon (@JSportsnet) January 4, 2017Boucher hails from Lansing, Michigan. In 2012-13 he broke Steven Stamkos’ OHL goal scoring record, along the way potting five hat-tricks that season for the Sarnia Sting.
