Redrafting the top 10 from the 2015 NHL Draft
68. . Forward. philadelphia flyers. Brock Boeser. 7. player
Boeser somehow slipped into the hands of the Vancouver Canucks at 23rd overall, but this time around teams wouldn’t make the mistake of passing on Prince Charming. He finished second among rookies in scoring last season with 29, only two behind Kyle Connor despite playing 14 games less.
Boeser looked like he was on pace to lock up the Calder Trophy before he injured his back and was forced to miss the last 16 games of the season. Despite this, he still finished as a finalist for the Calder Trophy.
He was also named the MVP of the All-Star Game, making him the first rookie to do so since Mario Lemieux did it in 1985. Boeser looked to be back on track this season, as he racked up 11 points in 13 games before injuring his groin and being forced out of action. Part of a young core in Vancouver alongside Bo Horvat, Elias Pettersson and Sven Baertschi, Boeser should fill opposing nets for years to come.
