Fantasy Analysis
Brian Boucher has never secured for himself a true starting job in the NHL, and can therefore be of very limited help to your fantasy squad. (Updated 04/07/2012).
This past summer Boucher signed a two-year contract with Carolina, where he will almost assuredly line up second in the goalie pecking order behind Cam Ward, who was the leagues most utilized backstop last season. Boucher is a solid choice to give Ward some extra rest this season, as he has 11 years of NHL experience between five clubs, and is coming off a season with the Flyers that included an 18-10-4 record, 2.42 goals-against average and .916 save percentage. Still, make sure there arent any viable starting goalies available on the draft board before adding this backup in fantasy pools. (Updated 10/4/11)
