Yeah I hope we stay away from Boeser unless it’s for pennies.

He’s an available top-6 RW though so JBB will be looking hard at this.

I saw this trade proposal for Tampa-Vancoucer:
Tampa
Brock Boeser (50% retained)
Pius Suter
'25 4th (Ottawa)

Vancouver
'26 1st
Isaac Howard

Any thoughts? I'd want some protections on the '26 1st, and likely only feel good about it if an extension with Boeser was a sure thing. Even then, moving Howard seems questionable.

JT Miller barely got more than that. Boeser isn't a bad player but he doesn't get both of our most valuable trade pieces.

thats a godawful trade. just because JBB doesnt value picks as much as the average HF reader does, he will value a player that has NHL potential more than a 1st rounder.

We SHOULD NOT trade Isaac Howard. Very open to moving Ethan Gauthier if the player(s) we acquire are above average offensive producers and fit.

3/4 next games are MUST WINS. 4 will be tough, so hoping for 3
