Prospect Info: Tyler Boucher (RW/LW) - Don`t sleep on Tyler Boucher

[Oscar The Grouch]

Eight games in Belleville this year and his stat line is, to paraphrase former Raptors coach Sam Mitchell, zero, zero zero. No goals, no assists, no points. He has six penalty minutes and is a minus one. Do the kid a favour and send him to the ECHL where there is a chance he can maybe keep up and get in on a goal once every few games. Right now he is just taking up space that an actual prospect could use.

Agreed. Play him at a level where he can remember what it feels like to score goals and make plays. Once he's PPG, bring him back to the AHL. If he doesn't hit PPG in the ECHL, he's simply a total write-off.

The stat line isn't going to necessarily tell you whether a bottom six forward is "keeping up".

Somebody who's watching the games would have to comment on how guys like Boucher, Halliday (2 assists in 8 games) and Pettersson (1 goal in 8 games) have actually looked out there.
