Player Discussion Brock Boeser - Brock Around the Clock

[Raistlin]

Three taken back in the last five and he's still getting chances.

He also missed the net completely in many shots from prime shooting areas. Maybe stop thinking about 30 and let instinct take over.

Guy can be invisible for long stretches and then somehow ends up with multiple goals in a game

Sounds like every goal scorer of all time?

Invisible for long stretches? Yes.
Somehow ends up with multiple goals? No.

He has a knack for actually scoring goals, and has that goal scoring Instinct.

Not knocking his play, just saying hes a sneaky goal scorer

That's how goal scorers are. Especially top line complimentary players.

Boeser, Brock

Brock (and I cannot stress this enough) Boeser

 

[Chelis Chili]

Brock Boeser (3-1—4) buried his third hat trick this season and sixth of his NHL career and then assisted on the overtime winner by Elias Pettersson (2-1—3) as the League-leading Canucks (33-11-5, 71 points) completed their fourth three-goal, third-period comeback victory in franchise history. Quinn Hughes (0-3—3) also factored on the winning goal and became the sixth different defenseman in NHL history to record eight three-assist games in a season. With every hat trick this season, AstraZeneca will donate $5,000 to the Hockey Fights Cancer Fund of the V Foundation up to $500,000. Click here for more information.

Congrats Brock Boeser on hitting 30 goals..Cant think of another player I'm most happiest for in achieving this.

 

[nergish]

Remember 6 months ago when, according to hfboards, this guy was untradeable, damaged goods, with an anchor for a contract?

That was just a true fact.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

That was just a true fact.

It was indeed ..Fortunately the management had the good foresight to keep him, other than waive him , or whatever other kneejerk nonsense was flouted by posters here.

I'm so happy we kept him.

 

[Grub]

I'm so happy we kept him.

Longest serving Canucks now as well which is nuts. Almost a decade with the team.

Did your hero Jim ever tally 30 goals at any level? That would definitely rival Brock hitting it this season.

I'm a Vancouverite who actually sat down for lunch in a Cheli's Chili. 2007 it was, a little before Canadian Thanksgiving.

I'll take my cookie or trophy now, thanks!

And now finally not a "young prospect" anymore.

In my opinion BB should be traded while the iron's hot.

Like Huberdeau, he should be traded while his numbers are the highest in he career.

Boeser and Huberdeau are the same, both rely on their other players set them up and carry the play.

Lots of fans get so caught up in goals or player points and use those as a distraction from team performance.

Last year Horvat had 30 goals when traded, fans wondered or worried where the goals were going to come from. Last year Kuzmenko was the Goal scoring replacement, a 40 goal scorer out of the box and 1+mil cheaper per season. Last year no team in the league wanted Boeser.

Horvat's 30 goes and is easiy replaced by Boeser's 30 goals, Boeser's goals go and is easily replaced by whomever they put into Horvat/Boeser's spot.

Any trade should be looked at as similar. Boeser and Huberdeau

 

[arttk]

I really hope he hits 50, that would be so f***ing awesome for him

I do agree that players like Boeser aren’t as important as their stats suggest, and are more easily replaceable than players who are doing the heavy lifting, but you can’t just replace them with anyone and expect the same results. Horvat is a very good player himself and Kuzmenko is talented as well and was posting unsustainable numbers. It takes chemistry, a high IQ and good finishing skills to do what he does. Realistically you’re not getting someone to replace what he does for cheaper unless you get lucky.

I’d certainly be wary of paying him the raise a potential 45-50 goal year might command though, so depending on where things sit in the off season, I don’t think trading him should be off the table if it improves the team. But I think it would have to be a situation where you’re getting roster improvement elsewhere or assets to obtain someone who improves the roster elsewhere.

I also don’t think there’s any way you trade him in season considering how things have gone so far. Not just because he’s scoring but because the players on the team finally seem on the same page and that’s not something you want to upset mid-season.

More games played with the team than Odjick, Jovo and Bure at this point. Doesn’t feel like it at all.

He is a one dimensional complimentary player.

What he is doing does not require a high hockey IQ, just a quick release or standing up around the net and putting in the garbage goals.

Who knew that Burrows would be a 30 goal scorer, Suter is filling the net way above his average, Blueger just got a hatty didn't he?

Maybe Podkolzin breaks out, or one of the other AHL players. Maybe even Kuzmenko does start potting them again.

Ya the room. It seems they are together and gaining chemistry.
Is there a scenario where parachuting in a "saviour" and moving out a team mate makes thing better?

So much has gone into making this season special or surprising.
Super high shooting percentages, save percentages, getting team as just the right time, their down time, incredibly lucky with minimum major injuries, everything makes it almost too good to be real.

Still move Boeser ASAP and get that cap space for a more dynamic player. 7 million will still get a decent player, (Hughes/Pettersson).
