Ownership has been interfering every year since they purchased 100% of the team. 2011 only happened because the building blocks were there before he Aquilini's bought the team.

Report: Brock Boeser has not requested a trade from the Vancouver Canucks
Last night, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman dropped the bombshell news t...canucksarmy.com
this is why never trust what Friedman says.
Except Friedman never said he requested a trade
I have no doubt ownership is interfereing I was responding to JR being an idiot
I know, I didn't feel like going back to find the message you were replying to.
i don't think he is a good enough skater for the way the devils want to play.

He's got 14 points in 19 games, and put up top 6 numbers in all of his seasons, how tf is that "negative value"?

according to that link friedman has it exactly correct. boeser's agent is seeking a deal because boeser wants a trade. the article is embarrassing sugar coated word salad.
“…this isn’t a situation where there’s ill feeling. Rather, the team and Boeser’s camp have, over the course of discussions about Boeser’s role and his Canucks future — conversations which date back to the club’s negotiations on Boeser’s current three-year deal this past offseason — mutually agreed to see if there’s a fit for the player elsewhere."
if they "mutually agreed" then boeser wants a trade. in fact, he has wanted a trade since the summer.
the only reason the agent has been given permission to start beating the bushes looking for a trade is because the team has tried and cannot find a dance partner. there is no way the team would give up control over that process if there was any kind of market.

If there was no market last summer, why even sign him to a 3-year deal? People here seem to be thinking Canucks have to add to get rid of him now…

he does not play defence and there is zero sandpaper to his game. offensively he is opportunistic and generally does not drive play.
on the plus side:
i would not call him a complimentary player, because he can score on any line. it just comes out of the blue.
his shot is a deadly pp weapon and he is capable of maintaining possession. a big part of his productivity problem is that jt miller stole his bread and butter.
he is surprisingly good in tight and can score greasy goals at even strength.
if he was actually motivated he's got all round elite skill that goes well beyond his shot. he's slower than he used to be but shows speed when he needs it.
he is fairly positionally sound defensively but he does not compete for the puck or go the extra mile. he gets caught puck watching and is a terrible player to have on the ice when the other team is on a push.

So many short sighted views
The 20/21 season Boeser was the teams best forward. The guy has gone through hell and is starting to find his legs the last couple weeks. He's 25 he will bounce back
Obviously the Canucks are a poorly constructed team.
Have to make some decisions on where they want to spend and where to cut. With Miller playing wing it's a ridiculous amount of money to scoring wingers and then a ridiculous amount to 3 D who are not that good and below average at defending.
Any GM that moves Boeser as a cap dump after just signing in the off season and showing belief in this player should be fired.
No doubt Boeser has some footspeed issues and is not a above average defensive player but he's a quality prime aged scorer with underrated playmaking skills. It seems a large segment of the Canucks fanbase and all these idiotic trolls trashing him are negligent to how injuries can affect player performance. And sure it's possible he never fully recovers but last year was more about horrible family circumstances than injury.
For 6.6 your not getting plus value but your getting exactly what you pay for if he is used properly.
If they're at an impasse and decide to phase him off the top 6 then I could see a lateral move for a RD or 3C that fills a organizational need.

I have interest in Boeser but I would hope that Guerin doesn’t otherwise I’d have serious questions about previous moves. I think the Wild felt they could stomach 6M per year as they offered Fiala 6x3 when he was an RFA. If he could get retained down to that, he’s worth a 2nd to me. Retain him to 5 and send be talking. Not a 1st, but maybe another B prospect on top of the 2nd.

Yah this has been made completely obvious now, it's not a player problem, or a coach problem or even management, if we had an owner that wasn't an egotistical greedy POS maybe the canucks would actually have a chance at building something, unfortunately....we don't
Canucks management gonna Canuck again.
Sign asset to multi year high dollar value deal. Devalue asset by telling world agent can talk to anyone about a trade suggesting they couldn't themselves. Have asset claim no trade request was made. Then tell world they will take a hit on asset to facilitate a trade.
Statement can be found on EF's podcast.

Maybe upgrade that second to a first and then I would be pleased as a nucks fan.
The funny thing is that if we didn't spend to the cap every year and save him money that way, it would be the same as getting 2 games of playoff revenue every year. Probably save him more than he would earn.

I don't even know that NYR would do Schneider for Boeser and a 1st.

I don't understand why the Canucks didn't just let Boeser walk as an RFA this past off-season if they are now trying to trade him for cap-space. They are going to have to take back a salary in order to move a contract of his size out.

I'd like to see him go home to Minnesota. Be close to his family. Very talented player who has been through so much the past few years. Our team being a dumpster fire couldn't have helped.
Gotta think there's some cognitive correlation between this city/org and the hell he's been through. Negative feelings associated with being here. How could there not be? Get away from it all, start fresh. Will be good for him.
Wish him the best. He'll bounce back and find his game elsewhere. He's a very talented player.

With JR they have a buffer in place. The previous issue was Benning was acting as a puppet for an owner that had assumed the President role. Trust fund babies are not accustomed to living/working with spending restrictions and Jimbo was not bright enough nor patient enough to deter poor spending and poor pro scouting.
It's gonna take a bit to untangle this roster. With Demko now out and some young players needing development time it's imperative that Allvin only sell or trade when teams have cap availability.
This whole notion to blow things up in December is not very smart
He never ended up being scratched, and he scored a goal in that game.
Like I said, something just not right with him for some reason.
Whatever is going on in vancouver is just ridiculous over the past 3-4 years, I don't know that Boeser is part of the issue but it's entirely possible he's been affected by it
Because he’s not a very good player and certainly not worth his contract AAV. He’s a lousy skater and defensive player. He’s injury prone. And he’s got term on his bad contract. That term is the biggest problem.
Sportsnet is saying Vancouver expects to lose the trade. That they will likely have to take back a contract that isn’t a good one. Boeser is negative value. It’s his contract that makes it so.
Or listen to Boeser himself say he needs to play better. His coach said he needs to play better. He was supposed to be a healthy scratch Saturday. He’ll be one soon if his current play continues.
