I have a few thoughts on this whole situation:

 

1. I suspect Brock is the type to just leave everything to his agent without having any part in the discussions at all, but you have to imagine at some point, if he really wants to play, he'd step in and have a chat with his agent. After all, his agent works for Boeser, so if Boeser wants to get signed and his agent isn't making it happen, Boeser can do something about that.

 

 

From what I've heard/read, he has.  To the extent that his Mom has told him not to answer questions and to just focus on family and training/playing hockey.  But I do feel that would eventually happen - that he'll put his interests in his own hands to some degree if he feels things aren't happening that possibly could be.

 

I trust in the process....I just hate it.

If Brock won't sign a contact for somewhere between 6 and 7 mil. let him sit.  I agree with Nux Win: RFA's shouldn't be able to hold teams hostage.

It does become a matter of "wanting" to play and taking steps toward that even if it isn't perfect or exactly as hoped for.  These guys are making millions and a team first mentality is nearly as important as their own interests because bonding happens and a team moves on.  This is hurting the team and a huge distraction so I'm hoping that it gets resolved quickly.  

 

When you are negotiating for a job/pay, you don't JUST consider the salary...you factor in location, environment, culture, role you'd assume and opportunity for growth, etc.  This is a pretty desirable team to join these days and the buzz being generated is for a reason.  In or out stuff.

 

I love Brock, but I'm tired of the team having "stuff" hanging over them and this year it's all about hockey (not drama/storylines/etc.).  Get on with it already.

I'd be more concerned if I was a Leafs, Jets or Flames fan. Marner, Laine and Tkachuk seem to be the type of players that will hold out until they get what they want. And without those players on those teams, they won't be the same.

 

Boeser is a real good player, heck of a shot, but he hasn't done a whole lot yet. He's not the Canucks best player. He's been out a couple of times with long term injuries, and struggled to get going last year, and the Canucks still managed to do okay. I think losing Tanev and Edler probably hurt them more. This year, especially, they have brought in better forward players, so they should still do okay if Boeser decides to sit. I'm not worried at all. I think he'll sign at the last minuite, but he'll also need extra time to get up to speed.

its really too bad that these negotiations are done so much in the media now, its not healthy. Fans only get bits and pieces and have no real sense of the actual discussions going on. 

 

I suspect with his dad getting off the vent (a huge step) and now on to probably a very long road of recovery Brock will have the mental capacity to think more about the contract, etc. He seems to have very good people around him as well so something will get done soon.

He has not missed a practice or the beginning of Training camp so I do not see any "hurt".

Training camp hasn't started yet. Only the prospects have been in a camp. I believe training camp starts either on Friday or early next week. If he isn't signed by then, it's very likely he won't be at training camp until he does.

To have the media "focused" on our team (for anything other than positive, forward facing news) is always a concern.    It generates momentum and tends to hang around.  I'd rather just have the buzz of hype/excitement, NOT rumours and speculation.

I also do consider a family decision to NOT engage in any way and just let the guy paid to take care of this handle business.  But there comes a point of stalemate where someone's gotta give.   

 

With all that's going on with Duke, I'd imagine most energy is being placed there.  Rightfully so.

The media will/would just try to create some other crap storm, it is in their nature.

In the old west a wagon train would go past a town, the town dogs would bark and bark, but the train just kept moving along.
