Player Discussion Brock Boeser - Brock Around the Clock

You can never believe everything you see on the NHL rumor-mill. But if Allvin was actually offered a first round draft pick for Boeser and turned it down--then it's an 'epic fail'.

I suppose if they'd dumped Boeser for a future first rounder--it would have sent out a negative signal that the Canucks were giving up on the season. But sometimes you have to take a step back, to take a couple of steps forward.

And it looks like Boeser will be leaving for nothing in the off-season anyway.

I don’t think that’s the case. If anything, and as we’ve historically seen with every other nhl player in a contract year, he should be playing his ass off to get the big money he feels he deserves.

Teams are now reassessing any intent they had to throw money at him. Instead of it looking like he’d taken the next step, it now looks like last year was an anomaly and he’s actually regressing back to and even below his norm as he gets older and even slower.

Management altos have sold high last year. They have had a few chances to sell high and haven't taken them. The exception was Horvat and they were forced into that one.

Sold the 40 goal scorer in the middle of a top five season? Seriously

Off-season not during the season.

I would just say the same thing, coming off of that season there's no way they were trading their 40 goal right winger

I would say that management is hired to make these tough decisions. I would agree with @andora that there's no way they are trading their 40 goal right winger (unless they succeed in signing Guentzel), but at the same time it's a winger they can't realistically re-sign given what they are willing to offer. So in the context of being hired to make the tough decisions, management should have traded Boeser in the offseason.

I've said this many times before. If the issue is term, what is management thinking? If Boeser has a good season where he even scores 30+ goals he is getting a 7 year contract from another team. If Boeser has a bad season is management celebrating because he might accept say a 5 year contract? That's certainly creative: Wish for a player to have a bad season so that you can get him signed to the contract you want him to sign?

Boeser will cash in no matter what kind of season he has...the market is thin and the cap has gone up pretty significantly...I get management's hesitance to sign Boeser to a 6-8 year deal, but someone will likely fork it over come July 1st...if that was a bridge too far for them, they really should have just traded him...especially rather than slagging on him publicly. He seems like a pretty popular guy in the dressing room, it can't have gone over too well.
