I know he scores 20... as a fan I should appreciate it. But I am just not a fan.

Brock seems to be getting better every year and is becoming a solid 2 way Center under Trotz. He is even getting a little better at faceoffs. Has always been a 20+ goal guy and now seems to be trending to the 30 Goal a year range. He still has some stints where he falls into bad habits... but it used to be for months at a time and now it's just a game or 2. He's a decent 2C ... would be a great 3C ..

Alright but he won as many playoff rounds last season as the isles have won since 1993 so...

Thanks for reading!

To me, he's past the point of 3C and there aren't too many teams in the league where he'd be out of the top-six.

He has always played soft. Go back to the Washington series when he shys away from the play. His 20 goals are a false positive. He is not consistent. A player with his scoring touch and size should be an impact player night in and night out. He is one of the reason the islanders struggle with offense.
