Who's 10 years older

 

Are there any clips or highlights? Love to see some of those points. 

And who also had 7 points in 59 AHL games last season. Not exactly great competition there.

 

I doubt they're filming it.

I hope someone posts highlights would love to see them.Seems Brock is showing he can play well against NHLers which means when he comes here he may out play many of the OIL which would be good to see!!

A little off-topic, but is this "da beauty league" that Brock is playing in, associated with a charity or something? Couldn't find anything on their website. I know it's in Minnesota so it could be as simple as just having an opportunity to get some on ice action but would be nice to see the guy continue his charitable ways. 

 

Just seen he's gone 50% on faceoffs. Was trusted to take a few key faceoffs for UND last season as well.

I believe that all of admission is going to charity.

I think Boeser's  +1 draft year is as good as any player in the past 10 years of the NHL. Could you imagine the hype he would be getting if an eastern team had drafted him.

Now consider that Conner had a better year. and a bunch of people in Vancouver haven't even heard of Conner

Played in a much weaker conference.

Given the conference Brock plays in and the fact that he lead his team to a championship, scoring four points in the final game, I'd say their years were pretty comparable. And they finished their seasons scoring at around the same clip. Boeser also plays a more complete, all-around game than Connor.

True, Kyle had a monster years as well, but because Boeser year can be compared to the likes of Toews and other big name NHLers there a little more to brag about.

Conner was Hobey baker finalist and likely should have won.  I like brock and think he's going to be an all-star in the NHL. but you have to give credit where it's due. If you redue the 2015 draft.  Teams are still taking conner ahead of brock.

I do not know about that! If you toke their season just played as their draft year, way more weight is given to playoff performance and Boeser dominated.  How many time do you see players rise many draft ratings after having a good playoff performance. Now when the player is the best player in the playoffs they raise a lot in the rankings. Boeser's playoff was better then his and Connors regular season. He step it up to a an other level when it counted the most.

It is Connor not Conner our mistake.

You're kind of proving my point.  Brock is getting a ton of hype in Vancouver because he's a canucks prospect.  Eastern media, even here in Alberta people don't know much about him in fact you rarely hear his name even when they are discussing the canucks.

 

@Monty

Would you trade Conner for Brock straight up? or to word it better, if we redid the draft would Jets take Brock before they take Conner?

 

Sorry Monty it must get old anytime a jets discussion comes up people turn to you.

Boston could have easily had Kyle Connor but nope

 

Tbh, I don't know where Connor will fit in the line-up in the future. This guy obviously has top line potential, but Ehlers/Schiefele/Laine will most likely be their top line in the future. It's going to be interesting.

You actually proven my point if the jets had taken Boeser, you know all the talk would be how they just got a steal of a pick who in his draft plus year had a better year than Toews did at that age.  It is about the now and you know they would be all over how Boeser had a monster year and looks to be just as good or better than Connor who was ranked higher.

Jets would NEVER trade Connor straight up for Boeser. Don't get me wrong, Boeser looks to be a good pick; but Connor was unreal this season. While he did play in a weaker division, he also played for a severely weaker team than Boeser.

 

Again, I like Boeser. More importantly, I know the UND team very well. Watch them multiple times per year. So I know how good he is. But with that, he also plays for an insanely good team. 

 

No slight against Boeser; but there's a reason Kyle Connor is hyped as much as he is.

Overall I agree with your post but I'd like to point out that Boeser continued to put up great numbers when Caggiuls and Schmaltz went down, numbers that were as good or even better I believe (can't really remember). That's something to consider.

 

I'd still take KC over Boeser for the speed and the fact he plays center though.

Even though its almost impossible to not be biased towards your team, us fans have to stop over valuing our prospects.

Why? The media is very bias towards certain teams and their players. I can name prospects on other teams who I can come up with that deserve more credit too not just Brock. 

 

Your statemtnt implies one thing but states another.

In your opinion.  In my opinion they would not.  In fact Boeser would be top 10 and even higher.  Conner (IMHAO) will be in Europe within 3 seasons.
