Player Discussion: Brock Boeser | III | Our Boy in College

[JohnLennon]

Gaudreau had a .5PPG improvement every year.

If Boeser wants to match that level of development then he needs to do about the same. Boeser put up a 1.4PPG last year and if he were to develop into a true franchise player I think he needs to put up around 1.8-2.0PPG this year.

If he stagnates then I feel like he'll still be a fantastic prospect, but not a franchise level prospect.


It's of course an incredibly tough ask for Boeser to put up those numbers but that's what it would take IMO.

If we're speaking purely in terms of production, Gaudreau's D+1 year was 1.0PPG, while Boeser's D+1 year was 1.43PPG. Due to this, I don't think it's fair to hold Boeser to the same rate of growth as Gaudreau, especially considering a lot of their production is affected by linemates and the team they play on. For me to see Boeser on the same level as Gaudreau, yes, he'd have to continue to increase production, but as long as he can put up even 1.6PPG in college this year, even with different linemates, I'd still see him as a huge prospect because that is a huge feat in itself at his age.

I use Gaudreau's PPG as a measure of growth over the season.

If Boeser wants to be a franchise prospect he'd need to show a elite level of growth from season to season.

To me elite growth is one thing, but whether it can translate into 70 pts in NHL is something else.

I will reserve my judgement til I see Boeser scoring 60-70 pts for a full season.

So 6 points on his teams first 8 goals. Totally unsustainable but still very impressive. Of course some joker will come along and question his game because he is not scoring enough goals.

 

[JanBulisPiggyBack]

I for one feel like his game lacks scoring ability

 

[WTG]

Pretty sure he picked up his 3rd point on Gersich's goal

Not on the boxscore though. Jost just oozes skill, I think he has some of the same problems Boeser had in the beginning where he is just getting used to the league. But boy when he does use his skill he's so good.

 

[Tim Calhoun]

Not to take anything away from Boeser's great start, but Canisius is a really really bad team. Not a single NHL drafted player on their roster.

He needs to be playing against pros. This is too easy for him.

 

[NuxFan09]

I have a feeling we will be seeing a lot more of those accolades. He's going to destroy the NCAA this year.

He will see better NCAA teams soon enough

 

[Roy Baby*]

He will see better NCAA teams soon enough

Definitely.. And if we've learned anything from Brock its that he can't rise to the occasion against big teams

Sweet name, just keep him away from the bar

 

[me2]

substitute all goal calls with sound from this

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

I would see what he can do in the pre-season next year for sure, then if he isn't ready I think Utica would be great for him.

Boeser has 6 individual shot attempts in the first period.
