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.

 

[M2Beezy]

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.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

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.

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

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.

[Leafs87]

Just wait em out, the price will go down

 

[BluesyShoes]

One dimensional is probably one of the things Boeser is not. He’s not a Selke level defensive player but he can hold his own.

He’s also got size and strength that goes under the radar. He’s got a lot of upper body strength and is strong on his skates, making him good around the net and in the corners. He’s isn’t very aggressive with it so it’s low key. Almost never see Boeser get knocked off his skates or pushed around after the play.

 

[beardo]

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.

Sorry to go off topic but that was sick.

 

[Rowlet]

That only works when only one team is interested.

Any team would want to add Boeser.

 

[kanucks25]

Boeser is a strange player, but TLDR is he's an excellent player as long as he's on a good team.

He can score 40 goals with a playmaking center and not just anyone can do that.

So if you're a good team looking for scoring on the wing, you should be interested. But he's very much a product of his environment, so if you're a bad team lacking talent I don't think he'd help as much as you'd think he would in a vacuum.

Strong along the boards, strong on the puck, reliable defensively, high IQ, but can't PK and can't be played 3on3 because of his horrendous first few steps.

 

[Chainshot]

I don't disagree but where are all these 1sts round picks coming from?

Competitive teams are running out of picks.

Well into the future apparently.

Reliable defensively ? This is the first time I have ever heard thar description applied to BB. At this asking price, I assume he will remain in Vancouver.

Selective reading or hearing must have been the issue, or you just have no idea and don’t watch the canucks. Him and miller matched up against the other teams top line and were great. He is absolutely respectable to good defensively, not sure where your “hot take” has come from? (Made up?)

 

[DimitriL07]

Boeser is not one dimensional. When he wants he’s more than adequate on the defensive side. He does go stretches where he looks lazy and floats around and other times he’ll win a lot of board battles in the ozone and keep lots of possession. He’s slow asf but he’s got good iq and an underrated passer. Top tier human to boot, I’d keep him but no way can we afford tossing 8 per at him when we already lack to much speed.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Van is in a wildcard spot. Why are they selling?

This years playoff field has no SUPER teams. Every team has massive flaws.


It wouldn't surprise me if a WC team went deep this year. None of the contenders are particularly scary.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

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.

Neither.

Boeser has been pretty open about loving Vancouver and wanting to spend his career here. Meanwhile, Allvin wants to sign him. What's holding them both back is Boeser likely looking for 8M+ and a 7-8 year term which Allvin is hesitant on given his injuries and general inconsistency.

I suspect that's also why the rental price is so high. It's more of a "we'll trade him if you overpay, but we'd prefer to re-sign him."

 

[sting101]

He literally just spent last season with Miller shutting down every teams top line. With great success to 1st place in the division.
It's not his ideal role but he can do it

He's just a really smart player. First steps are poor and has games where he gets a little floaty with effort but he is a clutch sniper who can score in a variety of ways and has become a really good playmaker. He's very good at linking plays together and is strong.

He ideally plays with a F1 that is good at getting in on the forecheck and a smart playmaking C that has a quality cycle game. if you can provide that he will be an outstanding pick up

I want the Canucks to sign him but it's looking like we may be rebuilding with how bad things have gone this year....see what happens hope he stays
