50% retained ($3.325M) should be pretty valuable for a team looking for a top 6 scorer that is 28 soon. He’s averaged pretty much 1st line production rate his entire career.

Contract talks haven’t gone far and both sides don’t seem to be very close at all. Management will want to get assets for him if they can’t agree on an extension this month and to not risk losing him for nothing. There is zero chance management will keep him past the deadline without an extension even if the Canucks are in the wild card.

First line goal scoring winger?

I think a ton of teams should be in on him.

I'd expect a 1st rounder in return for him, but given what Rutherford and Allvin accepted for Miller, you never know.

Bottom line is that I think the first team to offer a 2025 first rounder for him gets him.

Wouldn't be shocked if he goes for something closer to the Toffoli return. Jets are probably out on him, I don't think he's fast enough to fit into the aggressive Arniel scheme

Hasn't been the same since the concussion earlier this season. They really should be looking to get a 1st for him, and re-tool a bit up front. Chytil and O'Connor look like good additions... a few more like that and the team vibe will have changed a lot, along with the new-look d. M Pettersson is solid, D-Petey looks NHL ready and has made great strides this year, Mancini is a bit of a wildcard who will get a look soon, and Willander is a stud. If Demko can return to form, Van may just turn things around pretty quickly.

But yes, don't overthink it: get a 1st for Boeser and move forward

With the cap changes for next year, I think there will be a lot of teams in on him, including non-playoff teams if he's willing to sign. Nashville, Columbus, Calgary, Chicago and San Jose all have other team's picks which are 17-32 so may be tempted if he's willing to go to them.

With his injury history it may put some off, but plenty of teams could do with another 60pt scorer.
 
I think Boeser should be a solid fit for Caps, first 1,5 years in top6 and then takes over the Ovi-Spot when gr8 retires.

1st + prospect for Boeser (extended) , done.

Canucks aren’t going to trade him unless they get creative and trade him for assets that get them a different top 6 two way goal scorer. So someone like Boeser…
 
I think Boeser has more value then some may think...

Toffoli got a 2nd and 3rd last year. Boeser should get at least that, but I personally think he would fetch more as whichever team acquires him will also be likely looking to re-sign him. Boeser is only 27 years old, a team could re-sign him to a 5-6 year deal quite comfortably.

Without retention I would say a 1st and a couple of other minor pieces probably makes sense. If we're retaining 50%, I think we should get at least a 4th in addition to that.

Personally, I would like to re-sign him. If we don't, we'll just be looking for another Boeser anyways in free agency or via trade...
 
Last year, Toffoli had 26 goals and 44 points in 61 games and went for a 2nd and 3rd. This year, Boeser is pacing for 22 goals and 45 points in 61 games. Granted I think the market was unusually depreciated last off-season, but I think Boeser's probably only bringing back a 1st plus a minor asset. Maybe something like the Tyler Bertuzzi to Boston deal a few years ago, which was a 1st and 4th or something like that.

One is coming off 40 goals and is 27.

Make it a 3-way:

Nelson to Minn
Boeser to NYI
What does Vancouver get?
Nelson has more value and by the way, wild don't pay for rentals like that, so it depends what other teams are paying. wild will not give up a 1st or top prospect for a rental
 
Late 1st and decent prospect or later future pick seems reasonable…or something akin to the Granlund deal.

You can compare Boeser to Toffoli in many ways (top six triggermen who play a rather slow style) - but I think Boeser’s top end and rep is at a higher level.

Toffoli also had a proven track record of being a playoff ghost (which he lived up to yet again) while Brock had 7 goals and 12 points in 12 games for Vancouver last year. I think that makes a big difference in how they are viewed. I trust Brock much more as an impact player to be honest.
 
I think it'll just be a 1st. And I'd be happy with that. Anything above that is gravy.

Then you package a combo of that 1st, our own 1st, Lekerimaki for a top 6 center.

I'd be hesitant to deal Lekkermaki and those assets unless the top 6 center is 24 or younger.
