Willing to take on that risk if it keeps Quinn Hughes planted here. It sucks not having an elite centerman but having 3 solid 50-70 point guys down the middle would be a decent compromise.

Go Hawks!
If Boeser wants to sign for 6 years at $5.5m I'd hazard a guess that Allvin would sign that deal.

Sounds like there is a fair bit of interest in Cozens.
So he wont come cheap if acquired.

I suspect Cozens was likely only on the table if Pettersson was being offered - so I don't think he'll be a target for us at this time.

Friedman mentioned that if Alex Tuch was available the Lightning would go hard for him. I'd trade an extended Boeser for him

For everyone who wants to dump Boeser because he's "playing bad" keep in mind this was just 3 months ago and we should give him time to recover.
This is what a healthy Boeser did last years playoff

Not well I would imagine.
If they're going to use him as a trade chip, I'm curious about COL shifting Necas to C and trading Middlestadt out for a RW like Boeser?
Though Norris seems to be the target instead here.

Still want Cozens so bad I'd rather overpay than let him go to cgy.
Norris I loved pre potatoes shoulder, he's an excellent player and the Hughes connect prob has a bigger impact on the room vibe than we think.... but atleast three surgeries is crazy risky, and imo shoulder injuries are some of the worst.

Is getting Norris to keep Hughes just some wishful thinking on our part or it actually has legs?
Either way, I have a hard time believing it’ll play a big role in whatever happens.

Boeser is a phenomenal talent when he's on. Unfortunately he's a streaky winger and has had extended periods of lackluster play in his career.
You probably don't ship him out for a 3rd round pick, but if there's any team willing to give a substantial return for him then you dump him because he's impending UFA that will try and get max term and salary.
i doubt boeser cares about mp3 getting a new contract, it isn't a remotely similar situation given the different positions they play

Boeser is a .8pts per game player in his career of 525 games. He has 23 points in 29 games in the playoffs. You can call him streaky but he produces.
Everybody here is salivating over Cozens who is 4 years younger than him (23 vs 27) but has 0.22pts/game less than Boeser. Boeser has 8 more points than Cozens in 7 less games this year. All while recovering from a concussion in early November!
Cozens also makes more f***ing money than Boeser does now (7.1m vs 6.65m). What the f*** are we talking about dumping Boeser for? Can Cozens even cover what the team would lose trading Boeser? (EDIT: Came off as a little heated, mb).

The issue with Norris is that the team already has a guy who is a single injury away from being potentially done for good in Chytil.
Think we should go after Owen Tippett. 99th percentile in 22mph skating bursts, very strong transitional forward, and has legitimate 35-40 goal potential. High volume shooter.
Team needs guys who can shoot the puck. PDG 23 shots, Forbort 27, Hoglander 55, Blueger 51, Joshua 13 in 30 games, Hronek with 41 shots is unacceptable.

Why would the Flyers be interested in trading him?
Just gotta wait until Tippett pisses Torts off for some reason and then pounce!

i want the bartkowski thread back
I've gone back and forth on this 500 times in the last year but I think I would sign Boeser to $8x7 to retain him.
Don't feel confident that there is any bigger fish we could land.

I just realized that John Tortorella is now coaching Andrei Kuzmenko. There's no way that's going to end any way but badly.
Not everyone is salivating over Cozens, but point taken. Boeser is an enigma in that he's not so much a streaky player, as one who can look so removed from the game with his style of play.
His positioning and play away from the puck doesn't get enough credit and yet we're all aware of how lethal his shot once was.
He's not exactly a play driver, but I think he does make some of his linemates better with his cerebral approach to the game.
For whatever reason, he does seem to dog it sometimes as well, but that certainly could be attributed to his odd injury history.
I'd like to see him back, but would be careful of the cap hit and length of the contract. The Canucks org has always stood by him, through lengthy periods of unproductive play. Curious to see if that affects what he's willing to sign for.
Of those guys, only Hoglander gets himself into positions to score. Hronek has ample opportunity from the point but only started shooting again with Quinn out. Dakota starting to shake the rust off but not there yet. Forbert no. Blueger sometimes but pretty rarely.
The thing that’s become pretty clear to me, since bringing in Chytil is the team lacks players with enough skill and creativity to create opportunities. Used to be ep40 that could do that. Miller occasionally. Chytil makes things happen to create chances either for himself or others. We need more of that on the top two lines at least.
They shouldn't be but I've given up on predicting what NHL GMs might do!
His contract is a long one but the cap hit is reasonable especially moving forward.
There’s a suicide pass and this is a suicide trade.I just realized that John Tortorella is now coaching Andrei Kuzmenko. There's no way that's going to end any way but badly.
My preference is to sign Boeser to an extension, assuming it is at a reasonable price point for a reasonable length of time. I don't think it would cost much more than his current contract and the Canucks will have cap space elsewhere to make other additions. The fact is, the guy can score goals, is generally responsible defensively, has performed well in the playoffs and has been a Canuck for his entire career. Obviously if his ask is too much and a first round pick is on the table from another team, I'll drive him to the airport myself.
