ktcy2 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Can we stop obsessing over his points? It’s not only about points. Have you guys seen his play other than just the stats? Please. This whole Brock thing is just a mess. We need to trade his ass. It’s good for the team and the player. He is paid 6.65 million to play a damn game. Most people live on $20 an hour. Now stop sympathizing just because. A 6.65 million winger is supposed to produce and he just hasn’t done it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They either haven't tried to find a trade, or haven't been able to get one done, and both are a bad look. Here's a "skilled forward" I just extended in the summer, and the contract is so bad no one is willing to take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJockitch Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 It isn’t that he hasn’t been productive this year, it is that he hasn’t been engaged and playing any consistent defence. Maybe with everything over the last few years he has checked out a bit, and in nhl a bit is very noticeable. If there is good opportunity to move him then move him. Never like to see youth leaving but with no clear direction for the team it isn’t unexpected. We need to move at least 2 or 3 wingers anyway.

Also not a fan of trading players when their value is at an all time low. Hopefully he re-finds it here and we can trade him for some futures or D help. His goal yesterday was reminiscent of the goals he used to score, pick a spot and shoot. It was nice. The time to trade Boeser at a high has passed, unfortunately. That time was probably before last season but I understand why they didn't do it given his father's health at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 14 hours ago, EddieVedder said: Nash wants a scoring winger and you think Boeser is a scoring winger? He is .8 ppg, 342 games played 270 points prior to last night. He's slow, awful, bad, terrible yet is 9th in overall scoring in his draft class while being so frequently injured. Your bias doesn't mean much to me in the face of basic facts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Blankenship Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 It’s a tough situation. Brock has the puck skills and iq to be successful but doesn’t have the foot speed to create space for himself. Unless a team see’s him as a trigger man on a powerplay, which he hasn’t been in a long while, I don’t see any reason why a team would want to pay up to trade for him. What a mess this roster has become. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agents typically get involved when the team can't find a deal - Eriksson, Evander Kane etc all had their agents given permission to seek out a deal. Was posted earlier by others in this thread but you might have missed it: Genuinely concerning how frequently those words have come up regarding the Canucks. Tried to trade but couldn't.

Warhippy Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 4 hours ago, IBatch said: How's this current managements fault? All this is a result of his last contract and Brock himself. If Brock had scored 30/30 like most predicted he'd have, we wouldn't even be talking about his at all. Rather scared instead of what his UFA deal might look like lol. Wait until he gets traded before passing judgement. Kuzmo seems like a good replacement - for sure is this year at one million. Part of the puzzle for sure goes through Brock no matter if we rebuild or try and fix our D. Letting him go for nothing...well there are people on here that wanted that too. When you effectively say an asset is expendable, you devalue that asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One shift doesnt change that. Boesers going to toil around a few teams and be out of this league by 30.

Bratt - Hughes - Boeser Yep, he'll score 30+ What would the return be? (the cap has to match pretty closely) Severson and Haula? Tatar and Siegenthaler? Edit - I'm not expecting a homerun return for Brock Boeser is too slow to play for NJD. Skating speed is an essential part of their identity. Ruff is always talking about how they want to play fast and skate fast. Fitzgerald was just talking about how important Tatar, Haula and Wood have been to their success this season. Says you don't build a team by just hoarding talent - the pieces have to fit together and you need complementary players like them. Fitzgerald talks of how he wants a big and suffocating defence. Their off-season priority was to fix their D-corps. They are 1st in every key defensive metric and their team is just rolling right now. Siegenthaler has been so impactful defensively that his numbers put him at the level of some high end Norris candidates despite limited production. Their team is top in the league in the standings but also analytically. Why would they make any changes. NJD relies strongly on analytics to build their team - ownership is apparently obsessed with analytics and have them directly reporting to them.

Mr. Linden Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 One player doesnt make or break a team. This team has been toxic for the last 10 years, especially last 3 years. Bock has been the subject of a trade every year… warranted or not, thats gotta suck! He gets out, gets a fresh start… will also bring closure with his fathers passing and he’ll bounce back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an awful situation to be in. Will be lucky to get a 3rd round pick for him I suppose, and some other team will get a great reclamation project.

Maginator Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) I just saw a trade suggestion from a Habs article Armia 2023 2nd 2024 2nd For Boeser Armia has two more years @ 3.4 after this season. I'd do it. Whatever is going to give us cap flexibility to fix the defence in the summer. Edited December 4, 2022 by Maginator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
