I can't wait for this. He hasnt scored 30. Not sure why you cant understand that hes not an elite player. If you want to start paying one dimensional non line drivers that are slow and soft over 7 mil, then you have no idea how a winning team is built.

Absolutely cannot have such a 1 dimensional PP specialist guy who waits for the play to develop and capitalize. Sets such a bad example for any other contracts. 6m x 4 max or byeee Exactly. These arent the type of players that make you contenders. You win with complete players that can drive play in your top 6. Its as if half this board doesnt even watch hockey. If they had, theyd be able to easily see how too contending teams are built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-23 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Is it too late for Boeser to improve his skate, most importantly his speed. I still think a Boeser with some decent speed and skating would be dangerous for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is room for improvement if he finds the right skating coach. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock being bulked up is not useful to his game as he’s not winning board battles. All it does is take away speed and agility. He should be playing at 190 and focusing on lean muscle rather than bulk. If he can drop that 15-20 pounds he’ll be able to get to loose pucks quicker and find those soft spots faster where he can get his shots off like he did in his rookie year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was quicker in his first season from what I could tell. Can’t remember if it was his second or third year he showed up to camp jacked. Lost half a step. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like that guy was giving bad targets to our players and not holding them accountable enough. I hope the next strength and conditioning coach works closely with the coaches and the GMs to develop real goals for these guys that they can be held too.

I've started to think this " country club " mentality came from the staff, not necessarily the players considering the massive overhaul. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadership starts at the top. It definitely wasn’t coming from Benning or Weisbrod. Those two had excuses for everything and seemed to spend more time scouting than focusing on strengthening the organization. I think you’re on to something about it being the staff. Having people like JR, Johnson, the Sedins, and now Tallon in key roles will hopefully go along way. All hard workers who are accountable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see in training camp once the cuts happen. Multiple guys got gifted roster spots they didn't earn last year because Green refused to act like a professional. The cancer has been removed but there may have been some lingering effects from the devastation that clown inflicted on the franchise. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your this brutal a skater at close to 26, youre not improving at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the easiest and best piece to move in order to better the rest of the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
