I'm pretty sure players that have great, hard NHL level wrist shots score on junior and AHL goalies at a far better clip than Boucher has been able to.
It's a shootout, not a game, there is no one to stop him, he has as good a chance to score as anyone else, some are good at it & some are not. Have you ever seen Boucher shoot a puck at close range? He has a rocket.

A rocket without a guidance system.

Also, the coaching staff in Belleville deserve credit, it feels like the development in general has been better since last season.

Is Reinhardt a late bloomer?

I was going to talk about him, the guy decidedly want to be a NHLer

What a start with 10 pts in 5 games. Only the Habs D prospect Logan Mailloux has a better PPG with 9 pts in 4 games

Also, funnily, Calen Addison and Erik Brännström are tied at 7th with a 1.50 PPG (only 4 and 2 games though)

But it's not just about scoring regarding Reinhardt. He's a good skater, plays a responsible 200 feet game, can PK, is not a pushover and has good size/strength. I think he can develop into a very strong shutdown 4th line winger. I'm rooting for him and he's rising the prospect list big time as we speak. He was already showing good stuff last preseason but his game has continued to develop

It makes this 2020 draft even more legendary

Tim Stutzle
Jake Sanderson
Ridly Greig
Tyler Kleven
Cole Reinhardt
and maybe more...

Only one clear bust (Eric Engstrand) as Philippe Daoust (turns 23 y/o in 2 days) could be a legit prospect if he could just stay healthy. Leevi Merilainen is a decent goalie prospect who has a chance to end up as a NHLer.

Roby Jarventie is back from injury, started in the AHL (2 pts in 2 games) and might play for the Oilers as soon as this year. Egor Sokolov is good at the AHL level but still doubtful he'll be able to be a regular NHL player, might get more games though.

Fits my definition of late bloomer (versus longer to figure it out, i.e. Tage Thompson).

Drafted 9th round WHL draft. Had relatively poor numbers throughout CHL career (for an NHL prospect) although steadily improving. Poor numbers again at the AHL level, but starting to look decent. Its still only 5 games, but there are some other elements to his game I like.

Still likely limited at the NHL level, but if he keeps trending up this year and next I think it looks likely he will get a good NHL shot.
