Batherson

Id hope Boucher ends up like a better Miles Wood than Tom Wilson lol

Interesting comparable players.

Yeah def interesting. It’s hard to know ceiling wises what they’ll get to but this is a mix of style of play and ceiling

We need to stop with the Mark Stone comparisons on Batherson. It's been a thing since like the 2018 Juniors, but outside of them being superficially similar as big 6'3 RWs with skill and average skating, I don't think the comparison holds much water.i don't think their offensive games are that similar, and the off puck games are entirely different, where it's a huge strength in Stone's game but a weakness in Batherson's. I see more of a comparison with Blake Wheeler stylistically, though Batherson is obviously never gonna be that guy Wheeler was from 2015-2019.


I also see a bit more of Josh Anderson vs Tom Wilson when looking at Boucher. He's got that explosiveness in his first few steps to get up to speed, and he's a threat to drive to the net or shoot on the rush. Both comparisons paint a similar story, I just think Anderson I a little more accurate.
