Tystick Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 21 minutes ago, Cowardrobertford said: Haven't complained much about him, only became aware and was concerned of his skating, which you cannot ignore, (maybe you can at this time of development) which was greatly exposed during the tourney. For sure, his skating definitely needs improvement. He is, however, young and has all sorts of time to bring it up to NHL standards. With that said, his puck skills, passing, and shot make him one hell of a prospect to have. I'm happy with his tourney, based on the lone fact that he played on the first line with Matthews for a good portion of the entire tournament. I don't think many players walk into their first WJC U-18 and play on the first line (I may be wrong). But that's an enticing piece to be excited about. Btw my previous post wasn't necessarily directed towards you. Just fans that dissect a player too much and ignore the glaring positives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicineHatCanuck Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I find Boeser an interesting prospect, not because for his skill set but because of the posibilities. He is over a PPG in his Freshman year at UND which is good on it's own, but he is also +21 which is 3rd best on the team. During the WJC he proved that he could play a role and play if effectively. Sure his 1 goal (could have had another but hit the cross bar) and 2 assist weren't overly impressive and he looked a bit slow out there but he could also be another Jake Virtanen in that he isn't NHL ready but is too good for Junior/the NCAA. That being said IF he signs a contract Boeser would be able to play in the AHL next year. Which IMO is going to be a very real possibility. He has a pro body, a pro game, and a pro shot the only thing he needs to work on is his skating. He could start in a 3rd line role with the Comets and work his way up the lineup as the season progresses. Very interested in seeing what Benning decides to do with Boeser, my guess would be he goes back to UND next year though. I would think some of his production has to do with him playing with Schmaltz and Cagguila but from what I have seen most of his goals are for him creating a chance and burying it. Also he as another assist today, to extend his point streak to 13 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohmy Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Woo! Keep it up Boeser. Gonna be a big strong two way scorer for the Canucks in the near future. Wont be the fastest but will be fast enough. Not sure who ends up being the better player in there respective career between Boeser and Konecny, although I have my opinion. Who cares though as Boeser fits what the team needs over a player like Konecny. The Boes is best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NameFaker Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 The variety involved in his goals is awesome. Each of them is slightly different. It's great to see he scores dynamically, not from one spot only. I'm continually impressed by his passing skills, too. He seems to have the right mind for hockey and hands to match. I don't think we should be overly concerned about his skating, though. He'll be fast enough to make up for it with smarts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There -- he lacks "several" things that Brock has. Why are you even bothering comparing apples to oranges, which is completely pointless? Nothing better to do? Ya but he's Bo's cousin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all we know konecny never plays more than 100 games in the NHL. There's plenty of heart and soul types who never made it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO he is a 3rd line centre with 2nd line upside.

Just cause Konecny was drafted 1st OA in Junior doesn't mean he's going to surely be a player that'll get his NHL team a cup. Nobody knows if he'll ever make the NHL or at least be able to stay in it. Same can be said for Virtanen, and every other NHL prospect out there. Edited January 17, 2016 by Odd.
