Bobby James Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Great story. I'm so in for a Brock comeback. He seems like an awesome dude and I love his mindset right now. Hoping for a huge year for the kid, 30 goals and talks starting about a contract renewal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citizen Erased Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 He is truly committed to improving and he’s got a good support system through Tocchet and this new trainer. Screw it. I’ll just say it: Brock will score 40 goals in 2023/24. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes been a slow, one dimensional player that only had his shot to rely since even before he was drafted. Its absurd to think at 26 hes going to magically turn into a completely different player. I for one hope he puts up points early so some sucker will finally trade for him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great guy that I hope succeeds in what likely is his last 2 year in Vancouver. Always seems like there is something around him, though not his fault. Hopefully his life settles in and it helps his consistency. Last year it was the slow fly by with a little elbow wave instead of engaging. Early in the year he was embarrassingly disengaged. That is on him. Agreed on the start of the year, my take is we ship him out If we can and retain some cap, his back and wrist injury isn't something I feel comfortable with gambling on, especially in our situation where the money could be better spent, and same with Garland but I think no retention there, but we need the cap to weaponize the D and add depth. We're not sitting in a bad spot BUT that would help us a lot. The retained salary could be offset by a ELC so it's not as if we would get hit for that much where it would hurt us like Luongo's recapture, I think we could realistically retain 1.5 and then I think he'd get picked up BUT it's well known he has previous wrist issues around the league so that def devalues him but by how much? Wish I could answer that.. Edited July 22, 2023 by icycold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 If Verhaeghe can come out of nowhere and drop 42G on a team which barely made the playoffs, Brock can hit some big numbers too. Every year there's a couple of guys who jump ahead in the prime of their careers and take the next step forward. Brock is ready for that. A lot of how he does will come down to his line-mates, he'll start on our 2nd line with Miller. Hopefully Miller is still good for PPG hockey next year, if he dips then Brock will struggle. There might be a world in which Mikheyev or Kuzmenko lose their spot to Brock on the top line and then look out...Petey will turn him into a machine. I know they haven't had the best chemistry before but Petey is entering the prime of his career - he can turn anyone into a 30-40G scorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty tired of seeing BB gifted ice time and opportunity he hasn't earned over guys like Garland who does everything asked of him, and more, and gets shafted on top 6 mins and pp time. It's ridiculous. I have zero issues with BB as a person, or even as a depth winger.......my issue is the treatment he is given, by fans and coaching staff and the contract handed yo him by management 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Dizzle Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Over the course of his 6 year career he’s recovered from a broken back, watched his dad suffer and then die (not just being sick but losing his mind in the process) and still managed to be a borderline 30 goal scorer. It wouldn’t surprise me if what we see from Brock is what we get moving forward, but the idea that he might not have more to give is silly given what he’s been through. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strawbone Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 That mesmerizing raw talent we saw in Brock’s rookie season doesn’t just disappear. Much like Petey went through a really rough patch where he didn’t even look like he belonged in the NHL, Brock will come out of this stronger than ever. It’s just a longer journey for him. I would say this year is make or break though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
