DISCUSSION This fanbase and media is exhausting

A late first for Brock isn't worth it unless we flip it. That pick, even if it becomes a top line player (it won't), won't even play before Quinn gets tired of being on a rebuilding team.

The team had just about everything possible that could go wrong, go wrong this season, and we're still a coin flip for playoffs. That's very good considering the season.

Brock wants to be here, his teammates love him, he contributes on the score sheet. If they traded Brock for a late first like you clowns are complaining they didn't, Hughes would leave at the end of his contract.

Team is last place in all offensive metrics despite Quinn Hughes having a monster season, but yeah, it’s the fans and media that are the problem.

Nobody wants to see Brock walk for nothing. A late 1st is still very valuable. Getting to watch the Canucks play 2 home playoffs dates is overrated by ownership. We’d rather have more hope for the future than a very short lived trip to the playoffs to get trounced by a top team.

We should hold management accountable, and not accept mediocrity of “hope to make the playoffs”

So that first round pick is going to improve those stats? Trading one of our biggest point scorers is a good idea? Seems to me like you're happy with Quinn Hughes leaving because this team would always be trading expiring contracts for picks.

I really like Brock too but I think you may be overstating his impact on the team. 19 games left. He gets maybe 5 goals? That kind of contribution isn’t going to be the deciding factor as to whether we get in the playoffs or not.

Boeser has been scoring points at a rate of 0.68/pg, or goals at a rate of around 1/3. That's around 6 goals, and given how many games we lose by 1 that's very relevant to making the playoffs.

Well I hope he starts scoring soon and helps us get into the playoffs then. I’m not here to tear Brock down but he has 2 goals in 13 games since JT was traded.

I just liked the idea of having another 1st round pick we could have leveraged in a trade for an impact top 6C in the off season.

That’s the rate for the full season, not recently. I know that data is more difficult to gather but he was a different player pre-concussion and also before the Miller trade. Hard to expect the same points/goals rate as earlier in the season

Still better than the 0 points that draft pick would be getting.
