Player Discussion Brock Boeser | Part IV - Rookie of the Month November

[Melvin]

I know it's not the popular opinion at the moment. Makes me feel like the fat kid eating in the cafeteria alone... but in 10 years time.. i think a lot of us will appreciate what Benning has done. Brock Boeser, Gaudette and Petterson will be very good for us down the line. Its unfortunate that he went with virtanen and Juolevi, but at the same time this guy has been great at finding talent later in the draft. Believe in Benning.

Come on, this is the Boeser thread. Let's not pollute it with this.

Will get a Boeser jersey as soon as I am able.

Still can't believe this was the guy they decided to put in the press box to start the year!

Do you think Boeser is a worse player for having sat out those two games, after looking tired at the end of the preseason and admitting to feeling like his legs were heavy at the time?

Juolevi and Virtanen aren't terrible picks though..Virtanen is really turning it around he's going to be a sure fire top 9 foward for years to come and still has potential to be more. Better than Dal Colle who won't be an NHL player.
Juolevi is still developing and he's going to be a solid dman in the form of Ohlund. He'll be a top 3 dman just you wait!

And both of those outcomes are disasters compared to picking Ehlers/Nylander and Tkachuk/Keller/Sergachev.

Boeser was an excellent pick but that doesn’t excuse his other mistakes.

No, you're only allowed to crap on Benning, not say anything remotely positive.

It’s still too early to come to this conclusion. Nylander and Ehlers may be better reg season offensive players but how will they handle the tough playoff wars? I can see Virtanen being a beast in this situation much like how Kassian was stepping it up last year for the Oilers in their playoffs. Virtanen does bring a style of play to the game that isn’t measured by pts and one Nylander or Ehlers can’t offer. This pick is still up in the air.

I don't see anyone crapping on Benning in this thread. The Boeser thread. His post was nothing but bait to start another Benning war, which has no place here.

Let's just talk about the fact that we finally have a young player who can shoot. Last night's game was fun. Leave Benning out of this thread.

Your sarcastipost was deliciously juvenile though, congrats.

Thanks, just trying to fit in with this board

 

[Melvin]

Can't argue with that.

 

[Yggdrasil]

With this game against Pittsburg tonight, I honestly think we have seen the official changing of the guard in Vancouver. We had the West Coast Express era, then we had the Sedin era, and now: The Brock Bo Bae era!

Killer Bees era.

dahlen pettersson boeser

i can see that being our top line in 2019-00 / 2020-21 season.

Gaudette hasn't signed yet and he used a 5th overall pick on Petterson. (this was his 3rd top 6 pick in 4 years so are we actually congratulating him for "maybe" finding a blue chip prospect in 3 attempts drafting top 6 (we can now see the many top notch prospects he passed on his first two attempts).

How come you didn't mention Trymikan or Forsling? They were actually great later picks and then - Benning's "asset management" skills eroded their value (one walked away from club, and he litertally just gave the other player away for a non NHL player). I really wouldn't count on Gaudette as a savior until he actually is at least signed and we see him play maybe one or two NHL games?

Believing in Benning as a GM is ludicrous at this point - lets just be realistic and at the same time be thrilled a prospect of ours actually looks this good.

Drafting one good player doesn't make you an elite/good/competent GM (he already drafted Miller remember and then went on to destroy the Virtanen and Joelevi picks).

Hmmm I wonder which group will prove to be more valuable in long run (as in if you could pick one group or the other for your team) - Ehlers/Nylander + Tkachuck or Boser+Virtanen+Juoelevi ?

Nonis acquired a bunch of valuable pieces that were important down the road, too, but he still didn't do a particularly good job.

Or just all of em

Tkachuck Pettersson Boeser
Horvat Nylander Lind
Dahlen Gaudette Baertchi

Sweet top 9

 

[Pavel96]

Tkachuck Pettersson Boeser
Horvat Nylander Lind
Dahlen Gaudette Baertchi

Sweet top 9

I just don't think that both Gaudette and Dahlen will make it.

Brady Tkachuk?

 

[M2Beezy]

Are you out of your mind?

 

[M2Beezy]

Brady Tkachuk?

Matthew. Still havent drafted 2018 yet of course so not preddying who will take there

It's too early to call Juolevi
Yes Sergachev looks fantastic now, but he's also on the best team in the league. Plus he has always been the more offensive D than Juolevi

 

[ahmon]

I watched a few Tampa games, Sergachev has good offensive production, but man can he be an adventure defensively.

He's a double edge sword. The miss is not picking one of Tkachuk or Keller.

Still not surprised Boeser is racking up the goals, the second he was picked knew he would be a key part of this team going forward.

Where did our 2015 pick go in the first scenario?
