For Jake you can argue that he has the speed advantage and may be more sound defensively (just guessing....and from the fact that he has been tutored in the defense department by more coaches in their dog house than Brock) but play driver? what do you have other than your "eye test"? That's not something you can quantify, that just comes from 30+ years of playing, coaching and scouting high level hockey. Obviously that's just my perception of the situation and your free to have yours too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people think I have something against BB or think he's not a good player. It's because he's a good player that I think that's a smart move. A high pick, probably a 3rd, a depth dman and signing TT is what you get out of that deal most likely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both players are great...hope we can find a way to keep them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also gives some cap flexibility further down the road because they can bring young players like Podz, Hog and Lind into the mix as there will be spots for them. The window for this team is open and time is ticking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so happens I prefer players who have more to contribute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i dont get the Jake haters. He was one of the main catalysts for the comeback. Ppl still talk about his consistency but he's had a pretty good year and has taken a tremendous foot forward this year. If you're still anti Jake this year, either he's done something to you or your friends in Abbotsford or your need to be right clouds your judgement. Heading into the playoffs, im glad we have him. This will be more evident when the whistles disappear and the clutching , grabbing and physical play amps up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock has contributed 161 points in 196gp for this team. A lot of those points (cough calder runner up) were generated on his own. He can see the ice better than Jake does now - there is a reason hes been stapled in the top 6 for so long and Jake hasnt.- even in Brocks absence.
