Player Discussion Brock Boeser | Still Unsigned

[Addison Rae]

If Boeser’s camp demands are unreasonable the D corps is such a wreck that I’d explore flipping him for young blue line help, maybe a Hampus Lindholm type.

I’m trading Boeser for Lindholm or Slavin in a second.

Absolutely given the current of the D corps you'd be stupid not to..under 25 #1 defensemen at great cap hits

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

I thought he sucks?

 

[Pip]

Literally nobody thinks he sucks

 

[PetterssonSimp]

I thought he sucks?

We’ve seen a big change in his effort levels in just the past week. I think it was the Vegas game last week where he was total ass and then came out next game with a big chip on his shoulder because media and fans were talking serious smack about him quitting on the season.
His defensive effort still needs improvement overall, but the last 2-3 games he’s been a lot better

Well, there were sure a lot of “nobody” in the GDT thread for he past few months

 

[Pip]

Criticizing his defensive play and effort level was completely justified. Wanting the coaching staff to punish lazy play was completely warranted. That doesn’t mean he sucks. He’s one of 3 long-term core pieces currently on the roster and the team needs to get the best out of each of them.

Why you gotta take objective criticism of Boeser so personal?

What’s wrong with calling a lazy player lazy?

Some of those comments we’re beyond objective

Let’s not pretend that every criticism he got on this board was well deserved.
Some were not only ridiculous but laughably non-sense

Can you be more specific?

Just out of my memory without searching:
Boeser took a tripping penalty last game because a Vegas player got his skate stuck with Brock’s stick. And some how Brock was criticized for being lazy...

The leafs game, Granlund screw up so badly on pp and caused a shg. Somehow Boeser got criticized for “sucking” because he screwed up too like 20 secs ago, which had nothing to do with the shg.

Now these were only a couple posters, but still....ridiculous to read

That doesnt seem too bad.

I own a Boeser jersey and I can say his effort has been subpar this year overall.

There are a couple posters that think gudbrandson was gonna be a 30 point dman with Hughes next year; you don’t see anyone pairing everyone with that brush

[Icebreakers]

There was a span of about 3 consecutive overtime games where he was unplayable lol.

I think next season is gonna tell us a lot about how much he cares about improving his motor/skating.

 

[ayoshi]

This is his contract year, so presumably this is max effort.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Really impressed with Boeser's overall game recently. He battles hard, is good along the boards, and has terrific vision. Definitely has a lot more in his skill set than just a great shot.

 

[GetFocht]

questioning Boeser and his motivation is purely [MOD] at this point, some posters need a serious dose of introspection.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

8 gms pts streak
Hope he reaches double digit

 

[xtra]

I wonder what his contract is going to be - I wonder if they push for him to be paid at the 9 million dollar level( or higher) long term and the canucks balk at it.

He’s in the market category as he provide a much higher percentage of the teams goals and has a better g/pg

I wonder if they agree on a 2 year bridge deal in the end of it

They need to skip the bridge deal and lock him up long term. He's going to up his stock next season after a full healthy offseason, better conditioning, and more experience. I'd put money on it.

Oh I agree but I’m not sure about the contract from Brock’s perspective; he’s dealt with injuries which have hampered his numbers a bit so a bridge deal could allow him to hit the 40 goal mark and then negotiate. He’s going into this negotiation with a 29 and possible 30 goal season on his resume. Taking a bridge deal and putting up a 35 and 40 goal season would easily put him in the 10-11 million mark right?

He has no arbitration rights, so his only leverage is signing an offer sheet. That's the benefit of giving them a cup of coffee in their first year where the team 'burns' a year off their ELC.
