Seravalli: Brock Boeser on the Move? | Major Update —02/17/2022

[BCNate]

Which is not way north of what Toffoli got, which is my point, I guess.

yes and no. I’d expect the second piece would be far better than a b prospect, late pick, and cap dump.

 

[Josepho]

VC fans who like to play fantasy gm wont like me saying this. But i know some on our board are in agreement.

With that qualifying offer as a vc fan i dont know who would pay for him? Unless you want to take a big swing. Lets assume hes generous and agrees to a 6.5 million dollar deal. I still dont think hes worth that for what he brings, if hes not scoring goals theres just not much to his game. If toffoli is a comparable thats what a good/great contract looks like. Heck maybe if he would take 5 then i would say its a good deal.

Also interested to hopefully see how this plays out.

I could see Arizona doing it as a morale move to keep guys like Keller/Schmaltz happy.

Ottawa is probably desperate to get anything going and is run by stupid people.

New Jersey is also probably desperate to get any sort of success.

Nobody ever wants to play in Winnipeg/Buffalo, and to have a player under control for a few seasons might be valuable.

Like, it's not the worst gamble for a crappy team with a lot of cap space. I don't think any legitimate contenders are going to acquire him though. My guess is that his reputation/value around the league is probably higher than it is within our own fanbase and organization, but it's tough to say.

 

[DavidBL]

I imagine the Ducks would be interested. Not sure what that deal looks like. Our first is likely off the table, but I imagine anything they got for moving their UFAs would be on the table. To me Comtois makes a lot of sense but I am loathe to move him so soon. But from a Vancouver stand point he saves them a lot of money and can be plugged into the roster immediately.

 

[WingsToPick4th]

Maybe a deal around Filip Hronek? 24 Year old RHD for 24 year old winger. Wings have the cap and could add picks/prospects (not a first tho)

 

[Canucks LB]

I’d move Boeser to Montreal in a deal around Romanov

I actually really like this as a base

Oh yes your probably right, just from my point of view given the risk attached with the cost of his Qualifying offer, I cant imagine anyone giving much of anything. With that said, there likely might be some gm's who remember his rookie season, or him having a good game against said team and willing to pay for him. I just think its a mistake unless you can get him for a decent price which will be very difficult given what his QO is.

Of course you do lol but it won't happen

 

[jetsforever]

Feels like a mistake to trade Boeser

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Boeser is a really good winger, but we are not trading our young core when we are rebuilding, don't make sense for us. Romanov is one of the only bright spot in Mtl this year. Not saying the deal is bad, but not a fit.

Totally agree

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Of course you do lol but it won't happen

It’s fair value wise imo but Habs don’t have any young up and coming sure fire dmen like Romanov. Don’t want to make that same mistake with Sergachev (although Boeser>>Drouin and is proven)

 

[Canadian Canuck]

It wasn't and never will be Schnieder

Keep dreaming that you’ll get him without him

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Yeah and that opens up a big hole at RD, No thanks with Vrana coming back we don't need Boeser.

 

[John Mandalorian]

So the ask for Miller was too substantial that teams started to shift to Boeser? There's a thread with a lot of apologies owed to Rangers fans. LOL.

 

[zcaptain]

This would likely be a yes from LA, although I think the Kings would need Vancouver to take on an expiring contract (AA or Maatta) or retain. This is exactly the type of deal LA needs to make, they are loaded with right-shot defenseman and center prospects but lacking natural finishers on the wing, especially right shot ones. Boeser is also an RFA at the end, which is a bonus.

Both forwards are about even, IMO, Vilardi has a bit more upside but also has AAAA player downside, where as Kupari will have a role in the NHL but probably not a top 6 upside player.

I like Faber a lot, he'd be tough to lose but again with the RH d-man on the roster and in the system the Kings aren't going to have spots for all these guys.

Faber and a 1st for me...............nice and clean.............we'll take AA as a Cap dump, you can re-sign him in July if you want him back

 

[sting101]

I would do 1st + Lundqvist for Boeser
That being said, I feel other teams could give us a player that fits more ours needs (Defensive D-man)

Jeeesh Luc you just explained he was our MVP last year which i would agree with and now your gonna let him go for small 3rd pair pp guy and a 18-25 pick.

Good god are picks getting overrated here. pretty much a 90% chance we lose that deal

True, But you get a ton of cap space also, So it's more of a bigger package

 

[sting101]

Personally I would go for Faber/Spence/Grans and Vilardi/Kupari plus a 3rd

You sure you dont want to throw in a couple camp dumps too?

 

[sting101]

True, But you get a ton of cap space also, So it's more of a bigger package

Still shouldn't lower the price though. Were not capped out and we could move on from others

I'm not really getting the desire to tank our core to be honest when we could just stay the course and improve from the middle and improve the human performance aspect of our team which went to shit with Benning and Travis and the lack of competent people in those departments. I get the fanbase frustration but about 4 or 5 of our top9 forwards have underperformed this year and there is plenty of youth in Boeser Garland Pettersson Hoglander Podkolzin that should become better players in the next couple years.

A hockey trade would be interesting to adjust the mix if it makes sense

Preach

 

[Cupless44]

Aww that sucks, if I was a contending team, I would love to get Miller, he really impresses me.

Whats not to like about Miller, he is a better player than Boser...bigger, faster, meaner, can play all forward positions, good all round player...top 20 in scoring. Miller is the best forward on the potiential market at deadline. He is exactly the type of player teams want to add for cup run.

Miller is a heart and soul player for Canucks. Would way rather trade Boeser

It would be a mistake but our fanbase is so damaged from Benning and 8yrs of horrible contracts that they are prepared to give away anything for picks if it might end up a possible overpayment.

Brock was our MVP last year. Might as well line up and get Pettersson Demko and Hughes next

Boeser makes the most sense to move to alleveiate the cap hell Benning left. No way the game he is playing is worth 7.5 + on next contract

He is slow, not particularly hard on the puck, has never scored 30 goals. I like Brock but i think he is over rated in Vancouver and has never taken the next step after his rookie year.

He has a career average 31 goals per 82. Is 24 yrs old was the MVP last year and has plenty of development runway ahead of him.

Its been a down year yes but Brock has huge heart and will rebound. If we trade him to a good team with a puck controlling top C he will score 40goals and we will look like fools as he will be 25yr old 40 goal man entering his prime

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

Since JT Miller to the Rangers was roughly gonna be Schnieder, 2023 1st, Chytil and a 2nd, I guess take out the 1st and 2nd and that may be pretty close to Brock Boeser to the Rangers kind of deal

Rangers aren't trading Schneider....
