Popular Post Fen1010 Posted March 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2022 Just curious as to how other fans see him. For me Brock has been a no show for alot of the season so I looked up his stats and compared it to Tanner, For me both are slow footed for the modern game and both can shoot and be streaky when it comes to scoring. Basic season stats are not all that good for Brock Brock 49 games played 15G 15A -6 with 20 points on the Powerplay, so only 10 even strength points all year Tanner 51 games player 11G 14A +6 with only 4 points from the powerplay, 21 5v5 points on the season. Not into the advance stats to much, but is Brock that much better than Pearson when it comes to driving play? I don't think so. 2 3 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Pearson shoot the puck and put up points like Boeser can, and has proven to? Good try, but I don’t think you’ll get many bites. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fen1010 Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 No looking for bites, just curious. I don't see anything that special about Brock especially with his next contract due. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 For my 11th time saying it. I more consider Brock a goal scoring version of Jordan Eberle. Point totals are incredibly similar at this stage of both their careers. Both have the same foibles about their game. Boeser just scores more overall goals. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nucker 67 Posted March 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2022 Well, Pearson is definitely tougher, probably kick Brock's a** They can both shoot real good, Pearson doesn't get enough credit here. Speed is probably even, both are decent playmakers Boeser will cost around $4m more a season 2 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Perhaps numbers wise they may be comparable, but stylistically, I think they are very different players. I associate Pearson with a heavier game, good along the walls, stands up for teammates if he really needs to, far superior defensively. I also do think he has a very underrated shot, especially when he does a half slapper coming off the wing. I do think Boeser's overall hockey IQ is better. I do think he has become better in aspects of skating and defensive work, but I do wonder about his work ethic time to time. Perception would probably be that Boeser is a purely offensive player where he has ability to provide more two way ability, and lots of people may peg Pearson as a grinder with some hands, but he does provide decent depth offensively. I don't think I would say they are similar players though. They provide unique traits. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lock Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) He's a shooter through and through. He's much better overall than Pearson. That being said, I get why you might think he's not as good given he does somewhat lack in other departments. I wouldn't be opposed to him being traded but I also wouldn't be opposed to him staying over Pearson as he is a good complementary piece compared with Pearson. Where Pearson's likely at his peak, Boeser also may have more in him. Also keep in mind Boeser and Pearson have different roles really.

Popular Post Devron Posted March 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2022 Meh Boeser is having an off year. He has double the offensive hockey sense of Pearson. Pearson is a good player that does the right things. He’s probably right in line with his contract. We’ll see where it goes but I don’t know if it’s worth paying Brock 7+ Million. I’d like him a 6 million but we just may have to move him 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kanucks25 Posted March 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2022 Boeser is on pace for 50 points in a down year. He has the talent to be a consistent point producing top-6er, Pearson does not. I don't see how they are comparable other than them both being wingers. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see much out of Brock, If he didn't get all that powerplay time to pad his stats, would he be that much better? I am not convinced 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are paying someone to produce offense, you put them on the powerplay. Yes, Boeser does not do much outside of producing points. So when he's not producing, he appears to be completely useless. He's a flawed player, but will also be paid like one. 6.5~ mil for 60 points these days is about right. If your question is: should we be willing to move on from him? The answer is absolutely yes given the right circumstances. There are only 3 untouchables on this team and he definitely ain't one of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make it sound like hes out there avidly getting involved in board battles left and right. I would argue he's near the bottom of the league in actual board battles actually participated in. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock is tops of the league in battles and winning pucks. That’s a fact. Another fact is Leafs are Losers, so are their fans, and so is their city. Bess is better in battles than any loser Leaf.

Whats his battle count. its easy to claim being tops in the league if you only enter 3 board battles all season and win 2. Does that make you better than the guy with 300 won board battles of 500 participated in because youre win %age is better. Bess does not battle. Pearson battles Miller battles.
