Prospect Info: Josh Brook II

[Cobra Commander]

Well, again, that's your opinion. We are not talking like a Lafreniere who is unanimously the top prospect to pick in 2020.
There plenty of folks who put other Dmen ahead of Romanov.

Sure I won’t disagree with that. But to trade him for some of those guys without seeing him in a Habs jersey, and after how absolutely dominant he looked at the WJC, well I wouldn’t do it.

Boqvist has been on the first pair of the Hawks for a while and his offenssive potential is as high as anyone.

7 points in 29 games -9

Right side D instead of Left. Doesn’t have Romanov’s physically or defensive awareness.

I wouldn’t do it. I would much rather see what we have in Romanov.

And he’s not even a prospect anymore so I’m not sure why he was even thrown into the mix.

 

[Deebs]

Who knows what happens with Fleury, Juulsen and Brook. One good thing is I think all of Romanov, Struble and Norlinder can play right if i"m not mistaken?

Personally, I think Fleury will be a legitimate 3rd pairing defensemen at minimum. Not sure he has the offensive capabilities to move up but there's lots of time yet in his development. He's proven enough to me.

Juulsen should retire.

Brook needs more seasoning.

Romanov needs another year against men, preferably in the AHL but can't see that happening.

Struble and Norlinder... no idea yet

Thats quite ridiculous.

So you would trade our best LD hope for another RD? The Bergevin special. Go ahead and trade Kotkaniemi for another winger while you’re at it.

For all we know, the LD side is just as strong as the RD side.

Id trade Kotkaniemi for a superior player ten times out of ten. The problem isnt positional, its talent related.

If we trade Romanov our LD would be even more decimated. Boqvist is nothing special right now. He’s absolutely not a guy we need on the RD.

Hes gonna be a gamebreaker, and hes younger than Romanov by 6 months. If Boqvist is nothing special, Romanov doesnt even deserve a contract.

 

[The Great Weal]

I liked Hughes more than Boqvist during draft time but Boqvist is still a fantastic prospect. And yes, better than Romanov.

 

[Cobra Commander]

You guys haven’t even given Romanov a chance in the NHL and already saying Boqvist is better with his 7 points in 29 games and his -9. Ok we’ll see.

Romanov has 9 points in 81 KHL games.

The offensive potential isnt even close to being the same.

 

[habsfan92]

Don’t recall Boquist at the wjc, was he on the all tourney team twice and voted best d? Seriously asking. Personally I think that Romanov is a better all round dman and Boquist will be better offensively.

Do you recall Poolpartys WJC performance? He was incredible, look at him now. Do you recall Paciorettys WJC performance? He was awful, look at him now, he's the best NHLer from that team.

Romanov did that as an 18-19 year old with limited ice time and is a +28

I think we need to see what Romanov can do at the NHL level before we judge him.

So far at the WJC level Romanov has been superior and his physical game is far superior.

Boqvist was injured this year for the WJC so I dont see how its anything to work with.

Boqvist is going to turn 20 in august, hes younger than KK and hes playing on a dumpster fire team.

Trying to tear Boqvist down by posting his stats which are better in the NHL than Romanov's are in the KHL isn't helping your argument, just FYI

Ok man, if you don’t wanna be excited by having Romanov that’s your business, he’s one of the top defenseman prospects in the world and arguably the best at playing defense and most physical. I’m pumped to have him.

I couldn’t care less about what you think. We were comparing prospects and Boqvist isn’t even a prospect he’s an NHL player.

 

[Vijo Morganstein]

I couldn’t care less about what you think.

You could, you responded. Look, I like Romanov and I think he has the potential to be a top pairing D with similar output to Ekholm. But I had Boqvist at 3rd in 2018, and he's been playing top pairing minutes on the Hawks. You can say you'd prefer Romanov and I wouldn't argue with you, but posting Boqvist's NHL stats is a terrible argument.

Juulsen should retire.

Juulsen should retire? What inside info do you possess? My guess is none

Exactly he’s playing top minutes and his stats are mediocre. He hasn’t proven anything yet. When he starts to produce like a top pairing defenseman then we can talk. And where a player is selected has nothing to do with what he can do as an individual in the NHL, if Romanov played in the CHL he would have been a high first round pick.

Theres a difference between being excited about a prospect and being an outright homer.

Seider at the very least is much superior.

Ok I’m done here. You’re being an outright anti homer now.

Hes pacing 10 goals as a 19 years old Dman, thats far from mediocre.

Also Boqvist played in the junior league of sweden in his D year.
