If we can acquire a true 2C, Nelson will be potting 30 goals per year. Book it.
Nelson is an okay 2C.

If you look at the forest for the trees, it's a very very good deal. Most likely would have been overpaid a little on the open market. Happens all the time in FA, moreover, at his age you know there is still room to grow under Trotz and build on what is the makings of a very solid 2C.

Think we can officially say this was a good signing. A player living up to his new contract and then some.

I remember coming on here for first time 12 months ago and reading all the frustration around Nelson.
What an emergence. Credit to Trotz, when he arrived he told Brock he knew he was capable of more, much more.
He has repaid that support.

He's flourished under Trotz no doubt. Also with an opening on the top 1-2 center spots. Really he has been lights out since moving to C full time. Looks like he has found his role and game as a 2 way Center.

It is an absolute shame Brock Nelson was toiling away under Jack Capuano for so many years. He's finally unleashed and it's quite something.

+1. Would you rather have Nelson and Pageau at 11M or that other stats padding guy at 11M?

We drafted Brock out of HIGH SCHOOL.
I remember when we did it cause I stupidly said "He'll never play for us". Never been happier to be so damn wrong.

Yeah I think if we had the pajama guy, we would be having threads like "What is so great about Trotz" "Why can't we get linemates for pajama boy" and "How come pajama boy has 3 points in his last 11 games). He would change the complexion of the team. I would say it was because of bad coaching along the way that he developed bad habits.

Brock is one of the most overlooked players in the league. He is a legit 2C and people rarely speak about him.
He is such a game changer and I’m so happy for his success.

Stay safe!
I think I saw somewhere that it's his 3rd child. Crazy how time flies, I remember the day we drafted him, he was a mix of Big Bird and Screech back then.
His wife is a good soldier too, she had the baby during or around Game 4. She knows what's up.

Remember when people were comparing and contrasting Brock to other Minnesota players like Bjustad and I can't remember the other one right now. Fun times. I think we can close this debate.

Don’t know but that’s still my all time favorite HF thread. As it goes the convo becomes really good and less trolling
