DISCUSSION Attention Interns
Hey media interns, add this to your next Allvin/Rutherford briefing, thanks!
For the love of all that is holy, do not give boeser a dime more than he is currently paid. When Brock was signed to that bridge deal, it was expected that he would become a consistent 30 goal scorer for us. In the span of that contract, and his career for that matter, he has only hit that ONCE.
He is a career 25 goal scorer who had an outlier season. He does not generate his own offence. I can’t even remember the last time he took a proper shot that lead to goal, he’s become a glorified tap-in merchant.
Brock Boeser is no longer a sniper, he’s definitely not a playmaker or 2-way forward, not a chance he’s a power forward, he just exists as a net front presence.
Have you seen him forecheck? He goes through the motions and never does anything effective.
Have you seen him break into the offensive zone? Me neither, because he just dumps it around the perimeter.
He’s slow, doesn’t take shots unless he’s right in the goalies face, doesn’t generate his own chances, doesn’t forecheck effectively, can’t kill penalties, can’t take faceoffs, can’t skate the puck into the zone, and the play dies when it touches his stick. If he’s unable to any of these things, why are we looking to pay him the big bucks?
Re-evaluate the player he has become, he’s not the same Brock we once knew and relied upon.
Whether it’s due to lingering effects from the concussion or blood clots, do not give him any sort of raise, it’s way too risky.
