Wasn’t the Hronek trade announced after like 12pm?

 

[ephmrl]

Totally different circumstances on moving Boeser vs those deals though, isn't it? Those other moves were being made with playoffs in mind, this move would be a step back (A necessary one at that) - we've seen nothing to suggest that they're willing to do that other than "rumors" - actions speak louder than words, and seeing Boeser out there on the ice should be really telling about which way this situation is heading.

We already know they're not taking a step back as it's been discussed already by insiders that any futures they'd get in a Boeser or Suter trade would be flipped pretty quickly for another player that can help them now.

So heres how the PP may look tonight..

But even if he gets moved, there’s no follow up deal.

Point to trade Boeser is to use assets for another acquisition.

Hour to go and absolutely nothing.

Not trading Boeser, and then extending him at 7x$7.75M or something is the most Canucks move I can imagine.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Not surprised if Boeser and Suter don’t get move

It’s the Franky way, only player for player allowed

 

[Pacific Canuck]

Boeser did get 40 goals last year and has a lot of character. Everyone knows this team likes their "intangibles"

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Which is an utter failure.

Gonna be another EP situation where they sign him and start to regret it very quickly.

 

[brock hughes007]

Russo just reported that he thought that Boeser and the Canucks had re-opened contract talks today.

Why.he needs to go.

Well there is 65 minutes left until the deadline, it isn't NHL GM mode that you can instantly turn around and make a deal within a minute with another organization lmao.

 

[D0ctorCool]

I feel like a Boeser extension is more likely at this point. Management always loves a good surprise.

I'm thinking so too. There's not going to be many upgrades over Boeser come July 1st.

 

[valkynax]

If contract talk is back, and both term and AAV are reasonable, OK fine.

But I get the feeling that this is nothing short of desperation, desperation to not look like failures.

 

[Knight53]

They are resigning Boeser now lol

At least trade Suter and Forbort you stupid

 

[Canucker]

Why.he needs to go.

Meh....I'd be ok if they re-signed him, as long as its a good deal.

Can’t even be mad, this is hilarious

This is my take as well. I'm happy to keep Boeser and Suter if they both re-sign. Keeping them as "own rentals" in a desperate attempt to get slaughtered by Winnipeg would be idiotic.

Sooo... guess what we'll do?

 

[drax0s]

I wonder if Marchand possibly being in the mix is f***ing a Boeser trade up.

Hoping for the best but expecting the worst is the Canuck way

Basically probably right, they can't afford to not trade Boeser and have him walk, especially if they miss the playoffs, which they very easily could. I was hoping they'd swallow it and move him, but signing him is probably the next most likely option.

 

[BoHorvat 53]

Which is an utter failure.

Gonna be another EP situation where they sign him and start to regret it very quickly.

EP was (and still probably is) our franchise player - a blank cheque for him how he was playing the past 2 years made all the sense in the world, and getting him on an 8 year deal was a win because there were rumors out there by credible people that he was going to want to leave.

Signing Boeser to a long term extension with what the market prices are for rentals would be far and away the dumbest thing this regime has done, that I will agree on.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

I think Aquilini being in the mix is f***ing a Boeser trade up.

 

[drax0s]

ffs. "Boeser left the ice" <OMG>
"...along with all of his teammates"

https://x.com/i/web/status/1898085708046516563

At least he didn't get injured...

 

[Breakers]

1 hour left to prove Aquilini isn’t involved

Not looking good

A certain group in here is claiming he isnt

We’ll see

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Any Boeser contract is going to suck immediately.

He’s too slow and doesn’t drive play

Nucks have already acknowledged this.

People are going to bitch about it just like Petey’s deal as soon as next season.
