Speculation: Boeser signing with Minnesota?

[DigitalBoldy]

Saw this on the X machine. Haven’t heard a peep from Russo about the Wild even being interested in Boeser.

Leaving as speculation for now. Any legitimacy to this account’s reporting?

No, that would violate tampering rules. Offers can’t be made until July 1st.

No, that would violate tampering rules. Offers can’t be made until July 1st.

Is that how Bobby Mac spoiled the entire free agency at like 8am last year even though it didn’t open up until noon?

I think it’s Kypreos’ way of saying he’s going to Minnesota.

Can an agent discuss contract (no pen to paper offers) with a team without violating the tampering rules?

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Boeser trade likely being worked on for his negotiating rights.

That’s tampering. Kypreos isn’t credible, and the Boeser Minnesota narrative writes itself. hometown kid, lifelong Wild fan, family reasons. Uninspired take and lazy take.

This also makes no sense since he’s headed to UFA and he’s no that good that a team will make a trade for his rights. But I do think he’s gone and probably to the wild. Brocks a good man.

Could be allowed by the Canucks to seek a trade for his player rights and 8 year contract.

Why the hell would anyone want to sign Boeser to 8 years?
Canucks let him walk because they didn’t want to go over 5-6 years.

No but we know it happens. Million dollar deals don't take 5 minutes to put together but every year by 12:05 we got at least 1

Hope there’s a plan on the Canucks end. Overpaying Boeser was never going to be ideal but the FA market seems thin and the Canucks need to compete.

Guerin tends to do the things that piss off Wild fans.

If teams allow other clubs to talk with their departing players or trade their rights, it's fair game.

Nope. But we know it happens anyways.

I don't remember when, but pretty sure it was Seravalli.

You're thinking the expansion draft.

 

[Casino Royale]

8M aav.

 

[HawksDub89]

I feel like he’s gonna age terribly.

Not a very wild like player either.

Sounds like they're doubling back on Suter which isn't a bad option given how he really stepped up last year. Prior to his concussion, Boeser looked like he was gonna expand on his 2023-24 season but that unfortunately didn't happen. I can see why the Canucks aren't comfortable committing to a long term contract even though he'd probably shell 25+ and the Canucks absolutely need more scoring in the top 6. He gets a little too much hate but put him beside a speedy center with some vision and he'll score 30+ IF he's healthy and the concussion symptoms have 100% resolved.

With the market looking bare, I could see Minnesota sending 6-7x$8 million contract Bowser's way.

 

[57special]

I will be physically ill if MN gives Boeser 50M+.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Pretty sure that they changed that rule so that you can only sign for 8yrs if you are on the team by the trade deadline.

The benefit to a rights trade is that you get cost certainty on a “core” acquisition before FA opens, and you dont need to spend time and manpower on it during the “frenzy”

 

[Rob Brown]

This always felt inevitable.

He's already slow so it might not be a terrible decline if he stays healthy. He's not a goal scorer who has ever relied on speed.

I get why folks love Ehlers aesthetically and are excited about him versus the rather dour outlook on Boeser but frankly Boeser's end results over the last three seasons are similar, if not better in many regards (he misses less time and has been more effective in the playoffs)...and Boeser is almost a full year younger.

I think he's actually a bit underrated at this point - it seems more folks are like "we don't want him!" than actually have interest in him. I get the hesitation over paying big money to a free agent but that won't simply be a Brock Boeser issue and the rising cap helps for sure.

 

[57special]

Let's not forget that Kypreos is a buffoon, and gets things wrong all the time.

 

[Jerzey Devil]

Losing Boeser for nothing and Miller for next to nothing has to hurt the franchise going forward. Bad asset management by Vancouver.

They’ll need assets to make trades and overpaying free agents to fill a roster like Trotz did with Nashville doesn’t always work out.
