darkpoet Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Oh and with regards to him playing in Utica (should they make the playoffs) - he's ineligible. He would have had to play in Utica before coming up. But they signed him and brought him right into the big club so hes here to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackBeard Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Boeser is very limited by his skating. hopefully just like Bo he'll work on it come off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I think he is NHL ready but it wouldn't be a bad idea to start him in Utica next year, although he is much more NHL ready than Virtanen & McCann were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neko Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I just thought of the Judas Priest album... Brocka Rolla! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tystick Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 He stepped in and hasn't really looked out of place. Like you said, factor in a good off season and he could put up some hefty points next year. This guy is a true power forward. On a side note, if some other prospects make the team next year and all lines start clicking early, we could easily be in playoff contention IMO.

Baggins Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 15 hours ago, mll said: I did see the feature on Horvat and his skating. I know that most of them (Parise, Okposo, Bjugstad, Wheeler, etc) work with Diane Ness - she has her own power skating company and also advises the Wild. There was an article up in the Star Tribune about how she's helped so many NHLer on their skating in the off-season. Parise was explaining that she is always keeping up to date on new techniques. I wouldn't know for sure if Boeser works with her too but I would think that the Canucks can arrange that. Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting Boeser is slow. All I'm saying is Bo's results are rather amazing, and it wouldn't hurt other young guys coming up to try the same training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathew Barzal Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Could probably fit in and keep up, but I'd rather see him dominate with Utica next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys coming out of good college programs are usually more ready for the systems/positional side of the game than guys coming right out of junior. He's also 20 and a bit more filled out than an 18 year old would be. His former teammates Stech, Cagg and Schmaltz have all had decent starts to their careers with lots of upside, and he was considered the best of the group. I'd really like to see us go after a 2nd line centre and move Sutter with the Sedins to provide solid 3rd line minutes. It gives them good options on faceoffs. I know RNH's name is out there, but I can't see us winning that bidding war against someone outside of the division. Granlund can play centre, so for now: Boeser-Horvat-Baertchi Goldobin-Granlund-Eriksson Sedin-Sedin-Sutter Virtanen-About 12 possibilities-Dorsett Let's not forget one of the most important things about Brock - he is driven, that alone will endear him to the coach. A look back at his life shows just how driven and just how strong his character is - I like that in a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I remember a couple years ago Nicklas Jensen had like 5 really solid games where he looked "NHL ready." You can't really determine anything at this point. Yes but Nick got a bad concussion and totally changed the type of player he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid shows positional awareness and moves to the open areas like a pro. His defensive awareness is already better than most of ourr rookies. He will improve but I can't see him getting much out of the A and feel he will do better staying with the big for next year. He is 20 and has been playing against adults...Far different than junior players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrible.dee Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 He wasn't great the 2nd game, I don't know how may people noticed but n a few occasions he gave up on watching the play develop assuming it was going to go the way he though, only to discover the game turned on a dime behind his back which left him scrambling, Still that doesn't mean he isn't NHL ready The answer?
