No need to overpay Barrie. He came here to inflate his free agent dollars and succeeded. Nurse, Bear, Bouch, Broberg. Hope we keep Lar. Expose Klef, we dont know his health. With that said I wish we could keep him with this group. Yeah that Bouchard wrister was a laser.. we haven't had that from the point forever.. Also a really smart play. Could have just wasted the slapper in to the crowd, but instead faked, moved to a better position, got the screen he wanted and released. Saw something similar on his first goal this year. He's got the huge power when he wants to use it, but he's smart enough when to know to use a different approach. yeah he seems to avoid shinpads, a welcome change! Sekera 2.0? Seriously though, he is so different than anything we've had in forever - I am simply not used to seeing the plays he makes. I love it. Also - when Russell is not playing, we hardly ever see any more close your eyes and wrap it around the boards from our D. I can't begin to tell you how great it is to watch a game and not be subjected to that crap.

The classic "Shinpad Assassin"

Bouchard casually sifting in a wrister laser beam from the point kind of reminds me of guys like Rafalski, Leetch, Neidermeyer, point men we've never had in recent memory.

That's a dangerous weapon, especially if you're mobile enough to change shooting lanes before you release it, goalie and opposition can't set up for it, reaction time available is so much less, even as good as Barrie has been this year, his point shot rarely gets through...

Good Times! 👍🏻

P. Chiarelli math.. T. Hall = A. Larsson, Yak= bag o'pucks (OK he got one right...) K. Russell = $4.1 M+NMC, G. Reinhart= M. Barzal + A. Beauvillier, J. Eberle = R. Spooner,
