Proposal: Boeser to the Rangers - Do we finally get Lafrenierre?

[KingRichard]

Rangers are a team that is in win now mode, they are not rebuilding and can't waste what talent they have, thus the reason they took Miller.

Lafreniere has 33 points in 60 games and is a -17, he is having a big down year relative to last, and his body of work is not showing a player who is going to be a 100 pt player so he is now a risk that maybe he's never that player and is more like a 45-50 pt guy. He's been in the league 5 years now, only once over 50 pts. But he's worth that risk imho

The Rangers are also on the cusp of a playoff birth
Boeser is a 40 goal player on Miller's wing, NYR are a pretty fast team and Boeser will have lots of players who can set him up on the PP, he will be VERY successful there
Rangers are not scoring enough - they are a GF/GA differential of zero right now
Rangers are always in win now mode given their market

Boeser with an extension in Place should get Laff....

Would do boeesr and Demko our 4th and 7th for Laff 2nd and 3rd. We retain enough to make the #’s work

@EdJovanovski can I kindly ask you to run this by your board and get back to us ?

damn i thought we were getting laf for a sec when i first saw this title

 

[Nick Lang]

lol, that would be a dumb trade for NY. No way Jose they say.

 

[canuckslover10]

Only way I see NYR even considering this is if Boeser agrees to an extension before the trade.

 

[calnuck]

Yeah idk why NY would ever do that. Laf is the perfect 2nd line winger now that they have Miller. No way NY deals a player that is physical and can skate and score, for a player that can just score. It would be a massive downgrade in every way for them

EP40 is pretty clearly having one of the most disappointing seasons in the NHL this season. But Lafreniere isn't that far behind him.

I have no idea what happened to him this year--but his play has cratered. At one time, I thought he was a guy the Canucks should have targeted in the Miller deal. But now I'm thinking they got a better player in Chytil.
