This proves you haven't watched McLeod play.
He's almost the perfect 4th line center. Great on faceoffs and penalty killing. Cheap contract. Great skater and plays physical. Very good chemistry with Bastian and Wood.

They've struck me as opposite players, at least concerning physicality, size and style of play. Sort of the opposite of what we need to do, if Garland's the ask for Zacha, barring him being for cap or roster considerations, I hope we opt out.

All these guys Zacha, Boeser and Garland are about 0.5ppg this season, so I'm not sure if flipping them around does much difference. It would be a hoping for a bounce back, change of scenary type of trade, which is always just a gamble. Garland I think has most value of them because his all around game, but are the devils getting the 0.8ppg pace Garland from Arizona or the 0.6ppg pace from this season. A lot of Devils fans seem to think Boeser is the same 35+ goals rookie season Boeser, but in honesty he hasn't been close to that in 3 years and is pretty much bottom of the Canucks +- list. And Zacha while he can play C, is better at wing, so getting him just because he's a C might be a mistake. He is the highest drafted guy from these, so there's always that Sam Bennett type bounce back potential. Who knows what a new scenary, new system / coach, new linemates could do, although I doubt he'll be much more than a 0.5ppg guy. If your team is not performing, I guess it's better to do something than nothing, but I don't see how Zacha + picks and prospects help Canucks much at all.

Pavel Zacha for Brock Boeser and Jason Dickinson or Tucker Poolman. Its a capworld out there and Canucks is a cap team. I follow the Canucks and my friends Poolman and Dickinson have negative value. The Canucks new management wins on this bc last time a checked Boeser is on a 0.6p/G thats around 50p on 80games pace.

Something around Boeser for Zacha would be a coup for NJ. I get that Boeser has dropped a bit this year and has a high QO, but Zacha is nothing more than a 3rd line gadget winger.
Zacha can't play C, sucks defensively, is a soft perimeter guy, doesn't use his size and doesn't drive play, and his production is entirely dependent on how good his center is.
Putting Boeser on a line with Hughes or Hischier would really strengthen NJ's top-6 and PP.

There's no way we trading Boeser for Zacha. People can't honestly believe that Pettersson is a 40 point value p layer just because he's on that pace? Give me a break.
Just a random rumor.
Exactly what we don’t need. Doesn’t make a lot of sense for Van unless we’re dumping cap (i.e. Poolman/Dickenson NOT Boeser) or piece in a bigger deal. Still do not like the target.
This and the Kravstov runour are weird that way.
Zacha and Boeser are both change of scenery guys potentially but the gap in their value and proven upside is significant. Given that the “rumor” is the Canucks are interested in Zacha, I’d think it likely they are trying to buy low on Zacha as a reclamation project and that they’d be the ones offering the “package of pieces” for their target, not the better and more valuable player. Not that the Devils would oblige them.

Wouldn’t trade just Holtz or just the 1st for Boeser, let alone both of them.
That makes zero sense for the Canucks, if they’re trying to get bigger.
Move a 6’1 big body and keep the 5’10 and 5’9 guys.
As for value, Boeser returns more than Zacha and no way in hell does VAN add to him to get just Zacha.

Yea Holtz is a no go, but I am not really sure either what would have to be added with Zacha to land Boeser. Devils need wingers who can ride shotgun as a top 2 RW. Sure they are hoping Holtz is ready by next season perhaps but even if he does slot in there a massive hole still exists internally. Which is why Boeser makes sense. We need a proven producer, no more question marks. We can at least write in 20g for Brock playing with Hughes or Hischier.
How about a 2023 1st plus Zacha for a Boeser extension? No way are we are giving up next years first and I dont know what body the Nucks would want packaged with Zacha. Hopefully by 23 the devils won’t be drafting in the top 10, but I have had that thought many a time recently as a devils fan.
