Prospect Info: Josh Brook II

[Mrb1p]

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

I ranked both Brook and Romanov in the top 40 of prospects this summer, Im just not being as ridiculous as you are.

 

[Cobra Commander]

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.

He’s pacing 8.48 goals and 11.31 assists actually and a -25, Anyways I’m done talking about Boqvist.

You can't pace +/- :laughing:

 

[Deebs]

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

What do I need inside information for lol

Why would you say he should retire?

 

[Favster]

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.

Well 7 points in 29 games is a better PPG than Romanov, in a superior league. +/- is more representative of team success than an individual player stat, you shouldn't use that. I'm a huge Romanov fan but Boqvist is a more talented player and better prospect, that's a fact.

Will he Boqvist end up being the better player? There's no way to really know but at this point in their respective career, it would be foolish to not do the 1 for 1 swap if it was offered.

Does Brook have NHL upside? He has been very average all year, I expected more.

of course he does, if you skate as well as he does with great mobility that's a good start. He needs to get a lot stronger and needs a ton of confidence. He's not playing his game at all but let's see where he's at in a year.

He does have NHL upside. He isn't living up to the hype, for sure. But I do think he's better now than he was at the start of the year.

My hope is he has the tools and simply needs time.

He had great skating and vision in the WHL, I think next year will be a big upswing for him. Lets be honest, Laval isn't going to make anyone shine, especially a rookie from the CHL. Laval is going to make most people look worse than they are.

He does have NHL skating, I question his hockey smarts.

 

[montreal]

here's how his season is going,

first 19 games, 19-2-0-2, -7, 16 pims (.11 ppg)
next 33 games, 33-2-8-10 -3 25 pims (.3 ppg)

last year Fleury was at a .38 ppg for reference.

that's more then fair as it's been an eye opener with how poor he's looked at times in his own end with the decision making.

I think he needs another year after this one, his skating is too good not to be patient

 

[Zusammenhalt]

My first impression is he's sugar sided.

If Domi can make the NHL with his lack of hockey smarts, I'm sure Brook won't have a problem.

most likely, the hope is that he comes into next season much stronger and that leads to a lot more confidence, and hopefully that leads to a much better player. If not then we got problems.

To put the numbers I posted in perspective, if he played all season at the .3 ppg pace he would have 16 pts, if he was at the ppg that Fleury had he would be at 20 pts. So what you have is someone that got off to a really bad start, if not for that, if he was putting up a .3 ppg all year and sitting at 16 pts it still would be troubling but we could be talking about how he's only a few points from where Fleury was. Not that that is a very good bench mark but somehow the guy was able to make the Habs for half a season.

Thanks @montreal for keeping an eye on our prospect in Laval!

 

[Andrei79]

He looked like a different player yesterday. Don't know what happened, but I hope it's a sign of things to come.

You can't pace +/-

Fixed

Are you basing this on points? If so maybe you have a case.
I'm not sure about Boqvist, I don't follow him much.
But Romanov has some pretty incredible tools. He closes the gap better then any prospect I have seen recently. He's explosive and great in transition. His O game will grow but it's not a big concern because he brings so many thing to the table. He's a fantastic skater too. And kid is not scared. Plays with an edge.

I remember someone on the board telling me to trade Petry so Brook could take his ice time

smh

 

[Dichow Stopper]

We really need Brook to be more than a third pairing d-man at the NHL level. Don’t see him being a top pairing at this point but we badly need him to become a top 4.
