Player Discussion Brock Boeser - Brock Around the Clock

[Bleach Clean]

How is Brock proving people wrong? It's like some of you have Mango's goldfish memory. He's always been streaky like this where he looks elite for 5-6 games and then goes goes MIA for 10-15 games. This season he was MIA for 20 games before the last game. Last season he was more consistent and he will look to get paid based on that season. DeBrusk is similar and that's why we have problems since both of them are almost useless if they don't score.

I want us to keep Brock but you can't pay him over 7mil/season.

It's reasonably assured he will get $8m AAV+ here or elsewhere.

You're right that he's streaky, and he does not provide overt intangibles, but he is a 1st line producer. Over the last 5 years, he's 83rd among all forwards and 21st among right wingers in P/GP.

An underrated aspect of Boeser with Pettersson is that he makes the short pass or play. Reminds me of Kuzmenko. Hoglander does it too, but is not as smart with the puck. These two wingers are the best fits for Pettersson on the roster imo.

Last, the odds they do better with the cap space are slim.

If Brock wants $8M a year, he better play like a $8M down the stretch. Otherwise he's definitely gone. I'd like to keep him, his inconsistent play in the regular season IMO has been attenuated by his past playoff performances. I think he's a guy who plays better in warmer weather.
