That there is an example of a player who absolutely crushed his overage season and did nothing since. Plays in the echl still. You're underestimating overagers advantage in JR levels.

That league consistently makes middling guys look like superstars. And here I was thinking this myth about the Q had finally been put to rest.

Rush17 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I hope we get to see Boeser before the season is out. I am pretty excited too see him give it a go at the nhl level :D I hope he dons our jersey for many many years! Elite high end talent. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I think that Boeser would benefit from a season in the AHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a lot of us fans have a "feed me now" attitude. Most prospects probably would benefit from a season in the A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young guys are coming out of Junior and college better prepared than ever. (not including, of course, the player Alf refuses to mention because it's too painful) I think Boeser will sign this spring, and play a few games in Utica, thereby burning a year off his ELC. Then, next season he's on our big team, providing the direction from management is to build for the future. (Alf sees this plan with Gaudette too) More young guys to get behind, and more hope for the future. That's what the fans want!!!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bo can take him under his wing (in terms of 2 way play and work ethic) then Boeser could end up playing on Bo's wing , then they can both go out for wings!!! If not then yeah I agree the AHL would be a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.B Cooper Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I also think a year in the AHL would be great for Brock. But with the meathead fans we have here who can't seem to show any patients with our prospects, I hope he comes straight to the NHL. Pretty much just to avoid hearing a year of 'Boesser is a bust'. If Subban can't get a couple years in the AHL as a very late round pick, without having the combined CDC dumdums crying for his call up, what shot does Brock have at a proper development? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not against him playing in the AHL for a season (or more if he needs it); However, I think if he earns a spot on the big team, then he should be given that shot. Players develop differently from one another and some are ready for the show sooner. I'm not saying that Brock is, but if he proves he is in training camp and pre-season, if he shows his commitment in the offseason by working out hard and showing up prepared, If he deserves to be there, then he should be given his chance. If there is any question of how prepared he is, then send him to the A until we're certain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep them in a lower level until they show they are ready for the next step up. No spot should ever be gifted. It creates laziness and un earned privilege(see Virtanen). It can ruin development of a player. Having said that, I have a feeling Brock will come in ready to play and make the team out of camp next year.

He does seem to have the maturity and drive to do it at a young age. Between him and Juolevi, training camp should be fun to follow next season. That is assuming he signs this offseason.
