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

[SirloinUB]

Sheesh. That is an expensive rental.

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

You know Ive watched many games of Brock Boeser and see him go on stretches doing nothing on the offense side of the puck and am convinced he is done and he all of a sudden goes on a huge stretch of games scoring a ton of goals and being clutch. Hes hard to read, I keep expecting him to drop off and then he goes off. Has good playoffs stats too, I dont think teams will regret trading for and signing him, provided is not more than $8 mill per season..

 

[BHD]

Just to be clear, is this Boeser not wanting to re-sign or the Canucks wanting to move on? I read some comments from Boeser the other day, but wasn't sure.

 

[Cancuks]

This years pending UFA rental crop is thin, the Canucks will get their asking price.

The weird thing with Boeser, is that he's also a real master of the "ghost game". Where you barely even notice he played, but somehow ends up the night with 3 points in the box score. So even when he's not making a real obvious impact...he's usually still at least producing, in some capacity. But he is also very vulnerable to "disappearing" on the ice. He's not a big, fast, physical player who is going to rattle the boards or lay a guy out. He's not much of a factor in transition or as a puck carrier. He's not a shutdown ace or PK wizard. He's not even a really pure "playmaker" who is going to make those flashy dangles and thread the needle passes. So when he's not scoring goals, he's often not very "noticeable" on the ice.

It's the Canucks taking the opportunity to get younger and faster (or trade a rental for a 1st+, then flip the 1st for a player with term).

Boeser has been pretty vocal about wanting to stay, he's a pretty loyal guy. Check out his prom stories, he's a high character guy that every fan would want on their team.

It sounds like your basic trade deadline ask. They will probably settle for a B prospect instead of a former first rounder who is ready to break into the NHL. But it's like everything that leaks out, whether it is contract numbers or trade asks, the first leaked price is usually the ask - which is high because it's a negotiation.

 

[McJedi]

Sheesh. That is an expensive rental.

They often are.

I bet they settle on a 1st + B prospect they’ll over hype.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

That's a low price, Vegas should be in on it. They could use another scoring winger. They haven't been able to replace Marchessault since he left.

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.

Do you have a link to the interview?

Curious to read/listen.

I'd give them Othmann and the 2027 1st for him but they have to take Kreider back, no rentenzies. And they'd have to throw Garland in.
