Rumor: Cam Robinson " I spoke to GM's on what the price is for Boeser" .... 1st round pick and legit prospect is the cost

[TheBigLetowski]

Washington has first, and prospects.

I feel like that's possible.

 

[Jerzey Devil]

Seems pretty steep for a rental

 

[My3Sons]

Why?

I think the Canucks are keen on resigning him if Boeser gives in and signs for shorter term like 5-6 years.

They are also in a playoff battle for the wildcard.

What would be the hurry on accepting a 1st and a prospect offer now especially when it looks like it will be available right at the TDL with multiple suitors.

That’s fair but I question how many teams would actually say ok to that demand. If they are far apart on contract it’s tough to see that gap narrowing that much in a week. If th team floated that to say you have to do better than just a first or we will keep him as a self rental that makes sense.

 

[dirtydanglez]

i think he's one of those guys that you extend if you trade for him. maybe tampa or colorado take a swing for him as a rental before their windows close.

Its all part of negotiations... i doubt the Canucks have given Boeser their best best final offer yet. Otherwise if they have and its been rejected then yeah they would have probably moved Boeser by now.

Im almost cetain the issue is the term. Will Boeser budge and sign a 5-6 yr contract or will the Canucks budge and go with a 7-8 yr contract.

Game of chicken right now that will probably go until the last few hours of the deadline.

 

[nergish]

People are going to have serious buyers remorse trading for Boeser and signing him long term.

Probably not. He's skilled, clutch, and one of the most likeable people in the league.
Just don't needlessly overpay and you have a dependable culture-carrier locked in for years.

Vancouver just can't commit to him because team speed is an issue right now.

 

[bringbacktheskate604]

IF the reports are correct. BB is heading states side in the off season when he hits UFA. There is a reason why his name is out there.

This isn't true. His desire is to remain a Canuck, he's been here for 8 years and is very close with several teammates and loves the city.

I hope he gets re-signed but if he doesn't he's the type of guy that would sign with the club that traded for him if he gets the security he's wanting which is 6+ years.
He's a loyal guy, perhaps the nicest guy in the league the kind of guy that took a total stranger with downs syndrome to prom and did it happily and not some self-serving I'm such a good guy way, you usually see.

I really hope Allvin and JR give him the 8×6 he's asking for which is not a huge ask. He's also one of Quinns best friends along with EP and we might wanna keep our franchise Dman happy.

 

[tnnr]

something like their 1st + cristall or chesley

 

[HighLifeMan]

Of course that's the ask as of now, but the prospect won't be "legit" if one is added at all alongside a 1st.

Not your average rental

 

[Spurgeon]

I haven’t done the research but which contender teams have their 1st rounders still?

Boeser was elite during the playoffs last year. Still think they would have won game 7 last year if he had been playing.

A 1st rounder this year has way less value than 2026 (seen as a very strong draft). That would be an easy get for the Canucks, the real question is the prospect.

Would the framework of Ohgren + 1st be realistic in terms of value?

What would be comparable to that from other teams?

I wouldn’t even want to move Ohgren alone for him. It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to use up that amount of capital in a trade when there’s a decent chance he’s going to sign here in the offseason anyways.

2nd + Heidt/Haight/Ritchie/Lambos is probably the max of what Guerin would offer.

 

[onmygameboi]

Cam Robinson of Elite Prospects who has recently become a very reliable source said the following in an interview.

He asked a few teams what the cost would be for Boeser.... Robinson said most teams said ...


A 1st round pick either 2025 or 2026 + a legit prospect.

He then defines what a "legit prospect" means and mentions a young player that used to be a 1st round pick, or a player in the AHL ready to break into the NHL. Centre or Defence.

He said there is lots of interest in Boeser because he has shown he can score 40 goals and even though he dealt with concussion this year, he is still pacing for 30. He also mentions that teams like that Boeser has shown up and perform in the playoffs and teams love paying for goal scorers. The other advantage is that Boeser is only 28 and teams want to not only trade for him but extend him and not just have him as a rental.


Sounds like the Canucks can get some major assets to revamp their lineup if they choose to trade Boeser. Boeser is well loved in the room and in the community however and it would set the Canucks back having to replace his scoring. Canucks already having trouble scoring with Boeser on the roster.

He's the guy that had Miller to NJD?

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Maybe NYR's 2025 1st* + Fernstrom?

 

[KrisLetAngry]

boeser is a very loyal guy, if he is traded I’m pretty certain he re signs with that team. the guy really doesn’t want to leave Vancouver.

10 team no trade list so lots of teams available to sign him.

Honestly If trades 7x7.5 or 8x7 = is kind of something I see. Maybe a team gives him 8 million but I think we see it start with a 7.

I do expect he will have some input on would he sign where he gets moved. Especially if they hit his numbers.

 

[Jay Gray]

Of course that's the ask as of now, but the prospect won't be "legit" if one is added at all alongside a 1st.

Guentzel was also an astronomical amount before the deadline. Then at the deadline it came down to earth with a 2nd and a bunch of B and C prospects.

 

[sting101]

Of course that's the ask as of now, but the prospect won't be "legit" if one is added at all alongside a 1st.

Depends what you value Kuzmenko and Brzustewicz as?

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Leafs should be all over this tbh. Need the scoring

3C and another D that can move the puck and/or shoot from the point are both higher priorities.

 

[Nona Di Giuseppe]

People are going to have serious buyers remorse trading for Boeser and signing him long term.

Ah yes. Resident expert: “DistantThunderRep” …. In Florida, who probably catches Boeser play 2-3 times a year chiming in with in-depth knowledge.

If Boeser could return a first and a “legit” prospect wouldn’t that have happened already?

In the last while Canucks are last in the league in scoring… they’d rather keep him.

 

[Andre Palot]

We should absolutely do this if someone will pay that price.

how about two seconds and a 'legit' prospect

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Ah yes. Resident expert: “DistantThunderRep” …. In Florida, who probably catches Boeser play 2-3 times a year chiming in with in-depth knowledge.

I live in Vancouver, honestly I also live in Coquitlam. Born and Raised in the Lower Mainland, but you know good try bud. I have watched him his whole career in Vancouver, met him, and I also worked on NHL at EA in Burnaby in the Phase 2 building for 5 years, also I am credited on the games. I am sitting here at Woody's chuckling that some dickhead from somewhere near me is so presumptuous.

 

[Stephen]

That’s the going rate for literally everything.

 

[biturbo19]

Certainly worth exploring options if they can get that sort of return for Boeser. It's not an unreasonable ask either, if that acquiring team is confident they can get him signed to an extension. I certainly don't want to lose the scoring that Boeser provides, but i'm also very wary of him on the kind of big dollar long-term deal that he's going to want. So moving him makes sense to me.

 

[Iwishihadaspacebar]

I could see Utah being interested. They clearly want to improve with the move and have lots if picks, lots of prospects and lots of cap space next year for him to sign.

Only thing is he's a RW and Keller and Guenther both play there at present. Keller can play left though.

 

[Peter Griffin]

Washington has first, and prospects.

Andrew Cristall?
