RW Brock Boeser - North Dakota, NCAA (2015, 23rd, VAN)

[Grub]

Give it a few hours.

His shot wil never be the same...

 

[DeltaSwede]

Boeser with 2 goals in his return after his wrist surgery. Picked up right where he left of with two backhanders.

1st goal: https://streamable.com/un3rx

9g 9a 18pts in 14 games this season.

 

[Canucks LB]

Hes backkk

 

[M2Beezy]

Just so positive to see him back doing what he does best but theres another Canucks prospect NOONE is talking about from the SAME draft from the SAME league playing even better who went 149th overall in 2015 who would most likely be redrafted in the middle of the 1st round. God bless Benning for that 2015 drafting he did (Boeser Brisebois Gaudette Neil Olson)

That is one very long sentence and to the bolded.

It's great to see Boeser healthy again producing as expected. Especially after certain posters such as yourself were so hard on him when he was playing hurt.

 

[Quinning]

5 points in 2 games since coming back from injury

 

[Icebreakers]

His ppg is basically where it was last year minus Schmaltz and Caggiula.

 

[Canucks LB]

Oh god he is on a tear, looks like it was his bad wrist for the slump afterall, tried to play though it, what a warrior.

Guy is so damn good

 

[topched88]

Wish we could have seen him at the WJC against the best in the world. He was somewhat underwhelming last year so I was curious to see how he faired with less time and space. He is tracking really well but I want to see how he does at the pro level.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

It's not at all clear that Boeser is even as good as Connor, let alone better. Connor has been better at every level and I don't expect that to change. 19 games into his NHL rookie season changes nothing.

Okay last season Boeser was better than Connor he played in away Harder conference compared to Connor which is showing in his inability to play in the nhl.

 

[TLEH]

The Big10 last year when Connor was there was freaking atrocious and BB plays in the NCHC who's good every single year and almost every team can beat everyone on any given night. Especially this year.

How has Boeser been in the NHL? Kinda unfair to compare Connor's NHL play right?

You are correct. People need to pump the brakes on this guy.

 

[Canucks LB]

You are correct. People need to pump the brakes on this guy.

Hes gonna play with the sedins next year most likely

Huge oppertunity

 

[clunk]

Hes gonna play with the sedins next year most likely

Huge oppertunity

Not with Willie "Jayson Megna is a good fit with the Sedins" Desjardins

 

[Elias Pettersson]

Hes gonna play with the sedins next year most likely

Huge oppertunity

IDK, the Sedins look done. He'd probably have a better time playing with Horvat and Baertschi

That would another dumb mistake by the canucks.

McCann and Virtanen are literally shinning examples of how NOT to develop a prospect.

He needs to be in the AHL

Ignorant post.

 

[TeddyBare]

Ignorant post.

Truth hurts doesn't it.

Since 2000 Vancouver is the worst drafting/developing team in the NHL.

They have had the least amount of draft picks in that span, and the least amount of games played from those picks.


But yeah rush another prospect to play in the NHL

Bolded part is true. Rushing prospects is not true.

The Canucks are well known for not really letting young guys into the roster until fairly recently. Virtanen is literally the only prospect that was rushed into the NHL lineup. Prior to Virtanen, generally prospects don't play for the Canucks until 22-23.

Also, Bo Horvat never played a season in the AHL. I think he's doing fine.

Let's just take a second to note that, much like his first 2 games of the season, North Dakota played 2 games against a very weak opponent and scored 16 goals in those 2 games. Just like I said first 2 games of the season where everybody was blowing their loads over how amazing Boeser is, let's just give him a few games against teams that aren't Omaha before going nuts again.

I like Boeser a lot, just, reel it in a bit.

If the case is that Vancouver is the worst drafting/developing team in the NHL since 2000, it isn't because Vancouver has rushed their prospects. There were some horrendous drafting over those years and then the Canucks have picked at the end of the 1st round on a pretty consistent basis for a lot of that time as well.

Just because the Canucks rushed Virtanen, it doesn't mean they do that with every prospect. McCann was too good in pre-season to send him back to junior and he continued that form for the first 20 or so games that year anyways.. he earned a spot.

Besides, I think the Canucks did a pretty good job at developing their draft picks during that time you mentioned in any case. A lot of them turned into the core of the back to back president trophy winning teams. Sedins, Burrows, Kesler, Bieksa, Edler, Hansen, Schneider.

The Canucks and Brock decided it would be the best for his development to return to the NCAA this season. Him signing with the Canucks after this year is almost set in stone already but that doesn't mean he will just walk onto the team. The only prospect I can think of that didn't earn his spot was Virtanen. Hutton, Stecher, Gaunce, Horvat, Baertschi, and Tryamkin have all had to fight for their spot on the team and earn it as young players. A lot of Canuck fans getting annoyed with management for not handing these guys a spot... so.. rushing prospects.. not really the Canucks thing to do. Even Cody Hodgson had to earn his spot and he was quite brilliant during most of his time with the Canucks.

I get the feeling you don't really know much about the Canucks and their handling of young players.

Either way, Brocks a beauty, he's gotta earn his roster spot just like anyone else has in the past... besides Virtanen. You got us there! Gold star to you.

They are?

Looks like 3rd to me. And there is quite a few playoff teams on that list. Judging a teams drafting record from 16 years ago over many different management regimes seems kinda stupid. Its the last 5-8 years that matter

That is from 2 years

taking into account today's numbers they are the worst.

And it;s funny who was hired by Vancouver in 2000, Ron Delorme Their Chief Scout. The GM's may change but the underlining staff is still there.

It's no coincidence that the team with most draft picks since 2000 Chicago, has had A LOT of success.

But that's hardly relevant, who are Vancouver's most successful draft picks since 2000
Edler = AHL
Kesler = AHL
Schneider = AHL
Hansen = AHL
Umberger = AHL
Bieksa = AHL

Leaf fans are absolutely hilarious. Shamelessly tank one year for the 1st overall pick and all of a sudden you're experts on how to draft and develop players.

Canucks were busy finishing in the top 5 of the league year in and year out, we never got the high end picks until recently. We traded some picks to try and make a push in the playoffs which was a gamble that failed.

The Canucks track record is just fine with prospects. Mccann and Virtanen are 20 years old. Their careers haven't even started let alone finished. But I love when other teams fans bring them up as if they are some sort of huge failure or something.

Brock Boeser is his own player anyway, I watched him in person and the dude is an absolute stud. He is as can't miss as it gets. I'm not worried in the slightest about his transition to the NHL. He has the whole package.
