Uhhh

 

[Icebreakers]

Probably has no experience with media and stuff. Probably a bit overwhelming for him.

 

[TT1]

28 interviews, not bad
Jets, Flames, Kings, Panthers, Wild seem to be extremely interested in him

 

[DekeLikeYouMeanIt]

Uhhh

everyone's got one of those. It's either uh, umm, I mean, like or you know.

 

[Bonin21]

Johnson, Garrison, and even the media guy post game right now is a total uh fest lol. Just don't say anything the silence is much better! Boeser will fit right in.

Would not be surprised at all if the Jets took him at #17 depending on who else may be available.

Would not be surprised at all if the Jets took him at #17 depending on who else may be available.

It'd be looked at as a bit of a reach, but the Jets have shown to not shy away from doing so to select "their guy". So if they're really interested in him, it's definitely a possibility.

 

[CraigsList]

The Flames are really interested in him, not sure if we'd pick him at 15 though.

If you see us acquiring another 2015 1st in the 20's, and Boeser is still on the board, wouldn't be surprised for us to get him.

 

[Minnesota]

Hoping Minnesota takes him with #20.

Touching article below, sounds like he's been through a lot:

When Brock Boeser stands on the stage inside BB&T Center in South Florida on Friday night … when he slips on the hat and jersey of the NHL team that drafts him in the first round … it’ll be affirmation of what he has accomplished through more hardship than a teenager should have to endure.

“It’ll definitely be an emotional one,†said Boeser, an 18-year-old from Burnsville.

He’ll think of his father, Duke, who not only battles daily through Parkinson’s disease but nearly died in a car accident when Brock was a high school freshman. And he’ll think about the car crash involving a circle of four close friends that rocked his community last August — an accident that killed Ty Alyea, a baseball teammate, and critically injured and altered the life of Cole Borchardt, a hockey linemate.

And he’ll think about “G-pa,†his grandfather, Bob, who died hours before Brock played a game for Waterloo of the United States Hockey League in October.

“Brock grabbed me one night last fall in the parking lot outside of Waterloo and said, ‘Mom, it’s just been so hard,’ †Laurie Boeser said. “I said, ‘Honey, unfortunately, we don’t have control of what life dictates. It can be not fun at times, and there’s going to be the good and the bad.’

ugh poor guy

 

[Qubax]

He seems like a really sweet kid.

I hope the Flames do draft him.

I think the leadership of Giordano/Russell and the growing leadership of Monahan would be a great fit for Boeser.

 

[Buchanan*]

Hopefully the Flames package two of their three seconds for a late first to draft this kid. He's a stud.

 

[seafoam]

He's more of a goal scorer than Okposo. His game reminds me of Tatar's.

This kid is the type of prospect that NYI goes bonkers for, yet they didn't interview him.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Hopefully the Flames package two of their three seconds for a late first to draft this kid. He's a stud.

I don't think he'll last that long.

[Love]

I like this.

 

[canucks10]

I like the pick has a great shot and plays a complete game

 

[Love]

Now lets sign him asap so he can't pull a Jimmy Hayes on us.

Edit: Kevin Hayes, that is.

 

[Seatoo]

Jim Benning is a moron. WE NEED DMEN ARE YOU DAFT?

Maybe we can pick up a solid future NHLers with our second and third round picks. Oh wait

 

[Seatoo]

Now lets sign him asap so he can't pull a Jimmy Hayes on us.

Edit: Kevin Hayes, that is.

He just said that he will be attending university and that school is extremely important to him.

Basically he's gonna sign in Minny in a few years for free. Awesome.

 

[WTG]

I have a feeling this kid is going to absolutely break out next year.

**** that's kinda scary.

But what else is he going to say really?

 

[MISC*]

I have a feeling this kid is going to absolutely break out next year.

Todays the 1st youve ever heard of him
