86Viking Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Can't see this dragging out more than 48-72hrs. Konecny signing helps set the bar if we are going for similar term. He got 5.5m Brock gets 1-2m more annually on the same deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the pictures and understand that Brock's a little preoccupied at the moment. He didn't choose that, but he's certainly dealing with it. So please keep that in mind when discussing his character. He's a stand up individual of integrity. It's not as pressing to get back to the job when a family member is in the hospital in a rough state. It's not THE most important thing. The more time this drags on, the more he's with his Dad - who can fault him for not being too caught up with rushing away from his side? Come on now. Plus, his agent is handling it. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabcakes Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I'd like Boeser to have signed already but I'm patient with the business side of the game. The Marner deal set the top end comparable and Konecny set the bottom. Both are 6 year term. I think it's a matter of a day or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So refreshing to see a post like this. I understand the disappointment over the fact that Brock hasn't signed yet, but seeing people go after the kid's character for it, especially when, like you said, he has an ailing father that he's trying to spend time with before the inevitable happens, is really disheartening. Imagine being in that position. The season is about to get underway, a season in which you're going to be spending the majority of your time in another country, and your father becomes deathly ill, and all of the sudden you don't know how much time he has left. I wouldn't blame him one bit for wanting to drag this process out a little in order to spend time with his father, who, not to be morbid, is very likely not long for this world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bree2 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I feel for Boeser and his family, but as many have said it is his agent that is handling things, Boeser could have asked for a personal leave and still signed his contract. I am almost positive the Canucks would have granted it. Boeser as we all know wants to be back playing so hopefully it will be soon as his Dad seems to be somewhat on the mend.

Popular Post 48MPHSlapShot Posted September 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2019 Welp, it looks like the deal is done now, so it's all moot now anyways. Maybe we can all stop questioning the kid's character now? 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Buzzsaw* Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Welcome back Brock Boeser!!!! I think you are an integral part of this team. I think you have not yet shown just how good you can be... your first season was cut short by that devastating injury and last year you were handicapped in having to recover. This year will be your breakout year. I predict more goals, more assists and a real partnership with Elias Pettersson which will dazzle the NHL. ------- What does CDC think? Will he show the NHL the first half of his first season was just a blip or will this be the year he lays the smackdown on the league! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper007 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 As much as I like this deal, I think the Canucks are going to be sorry for underestimating him and he's gonna score over 40 goals. We'll be paying over 9 Mill/year in the next contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownky Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I think if he plays with Pettersson he's not going to have a chance to be bad, even if he hits "slump"-like status. Petey is good enough to drag somebody's slump away for them. Regardless, he's gonna post some nice goals I think. I'm very excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronic.Canuck Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Nobody on our team makes over 6mil. If we have someone worth that 9mil price tag it will be a nice problem to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because by taking the deal he just took, maybe he decides 8.5 is enough. Or 8... and the rest of the team can be built around that/him. Not that he had a mountain of leverage in this deal, but he probably could have held out for slightly more money, wasted a week or a month doing so but he got a respectable deal done with still enough time in main camp to get some workouts in and be on the same page as everybody as a team. My opinion on him has definitely improved, not just as a player; if he's a team guy, that's as golden as his flow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 48MPHSlapShot Posted September 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2019 Boeser is a highly underrated offensive thread. Those that simply refer to him as a "triggerman" really don't know what the hell they're talking about. If he can remain healthy, and with proper support around him, I could easily see him averaging nearly a PPG pace for the next decade or so. Hell, he's almost there now, and he's had to play on some BAD teams with virtually no offensive support from the blueline. Now he's going to have Hughes and Myers feeding him the puck instead of Gudbranson and Pouliot. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springer Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Super glad this is done and out of the way! Really impressed with Benning, considering the kind of dough that being paid to top players of late. This really helps take some of the crunch out of the cap facing the Nucks. Good deal for everyone! Now get out there Brock, and show everyone what you're really worth! We all know you can do it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
