Rumor: Dhaliwal- Boeser to Pens is a real possibility

[CheckingLineCenter]

I agree with the bolded 100% - so if Kap is part of a deal but the majority of the value is coming in other assets I'd be on board, but Kap as the primary asset for Boeser is definitely not "buying low"

I agree with this.

Tbh I’m not sure what a Boeser deal to the Pens or any team would look like. That QO makes his value hard to get a read on imo. I could see it not mattering at all or it really hurting the Nucks.

Maybe you can acquire a player in a trade. Some teams will need to move players to free up money. There could be some good deals available this summer.

You're not going to get someone better than Kapanen for $3 million unless you're paying a fortune, and the Penguins don't have the assets to pay a fortune.

The Penguins are absolutely not going to let Kapanen walk without qualifying him. It's just an absurdly bad thing to argue as a possibility. It just won't happen.

 

[PettersonHughes]

I really hope we try for a sign-and-trade for Marino (maybe + Hallander). Not a fan of getting back Kapanen.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I also don't know why we're applying the "buy low" caveat to Kapanen but not applying it to Boeser. For everyone saying Kapanen sucks and is having such a bad season, he has 5 fewer points on the year than Boeser (31 in 50 vs 26 in 55) and is outproducing him at ES despite playing much less per game. Kapanen is a buy low guy right now because he hasn't had a good year, but I don't know why we're not extending that to Boeser either. Boeser's pace this year is like 15 points per 82 games below his normal.

This year, Kapanen's a guy on pace for 40 points while not playing all that well and getting middle-6 usage and Boeser's a guy on pace for 50 points while not playing all that well and getting top-6 usage. This isn't trading Boeser while he's playing well.

Marino has a huge contract?

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

What about Boeser for Kapanen, POJ + 2022 1st?

 

[Empoleon8771]

Lol no.

What makes you think Boeser has that kind of value with how he's playing this year?

 

[Gurglesons]

I’m fine with it tbh.

 

[Love]

I’ve always felt that Boeser makes the most sense of our top offensive guys to be trade, that is since we now have Garland. Before that I didn’t want Boeser moved at all. I still don’t want Boeser moved per se, but I also understand that we need to improve our depth, prospect pool, and defence and BB is a valuable yet somewhat redundant piece who will cost a lot to re-sign.

Anyway Boeser to Pittsburgh would be so awesome to watch. Would love to see him play with Sid. BB has the brain to keep up with him and obviously everyone knows he has the finishing ability.

What about Boeser for Kapanen, POJ + 2022 1st?

This is exactly what I thought of as well. Fills the hole at RW, fills the hole as far us us needing D prospects, and fills the hole of needing more draft picks.

 

[kerrabria]

Lots of report lately out of Van that Boeser is the main piece that will be shipped rather than Miller.

Would not mind Kapanen but I think if Boeser is moved a Dman is coming in return whether thats from Pitt or not we shall soon find out.

Boeser seems like a guy who would thrive next to Malkin.
But if they're gonna commit $7m+ then Marcus Pettersson will have to go and Rust is officially walking as a UFA.

 

[jrs]

Damn… was holding out hope Chevy would wake the F up and bring Boeser to WPG

That’s the only trade I want Chevy to make since it’s a lost season

 

[Eggtimer]

Pens cap room decent with Boeser’s QO? I’m not saying anything negative , just honestly wondering if the Pens have room for it next year

 

[kerrabria]

to PIT: Boeser
to VAN: Kapanen, Pettersson*

*$525k retained on Pettersson

We all know that JR likes Kapanen, and JR liked Pettersson enough to sell low on Sprong for him and then give him that big extension.

 

[BatVader]

That’s the only trade I want Chevy to make since it’s a lost season

Yup… get him now for next season. Gives the team the rest of this season, pre-season, and the beginning of next to build chemistry

If they trade Kapanen and Pettersson and let both Rust and Rodrigues walk, then yeah, they'll have plenty of space.

 

[kerrabria]

What about Boeser for Kapanen, POJ + 2022 1st?

That's a non-starter for the Pens.
They need to move Pettersson out (whether that's to Vancouver or someone else) and plug POJ on the bottom pair for cap reasons.

Take out POJ and I could see it.

 

[Eggtimer]

If they trade Kapanen and Pettersson and let both Rust and Rodrigues walk, then yeah, they'll have plenty of space.

Is that somethjg Pens fans want to do though ? Let Rust and Rodrigues walk? I’d like either of those two on the Devils

 

[Big Empty]

Something around Kapanen + Hallander?

I think there will be better offers than that.

 

[Nona Di Giuseppe]

I'll laugh if Vancouver punts at the deadline. There's been so much rumor and speculation from Vancouver media posted that you could call this sub-forum Canucks Trade Rumors and Free Agent Talk.

It’s almost like one trigger happy Canucks fan makes a thread, for every, single, mention of any player + any team.

…..

 

[PettersonHughes]

Marino has a huge contract?

If rumors are true that there's a market for Myers I'd love for us to get Marino back. $4.4 million for a 24 year old isn't that bad when Boeser's at least at $6 mil, if not his QO of $7.5 mil per, and Marino's probably the type of defensive RHD that this team needs.

 

[Nona Di Giuseppe]

When he was in TO, he was excellent on the PK…his speed was good for a short handed break away per game….

Sounds like Brandon Sutter (and Brandon Sutter is awful)

 

[kanucks25]

to PIT: Boeser
to VAN: Kapanen, Pettersson*

*$525k retained on Pettersson

We all know that JR likes Kapanen, and JR liked Pettersson enough to sell low on Sprong for him and then give him that big extension.

We probably can't afford a 3.5M bottom pairing D-man, nor is the value there.

 

[kanucks25]

I think there will be better offers than that.

Perhaps. Maybe add a 2nd to this, or just Kapanen + 1st.

Maybe Boeser is worth more in a vacuum but I think the difference in contracts going forward closes the value gap.

 

[jmelm]

We're not trading our 1st rounder. Find another way or no go!

We wouldn’t trade our (late) 1st rounder who would take 3-4 years to make an impact FOR A NON-RENTAL player, when we have maybe 2-3 years of prime 87, 71, 58 left?? Get real.

This talk of “we can’t keep trading our 1st” by Burke & Hextall is just intelligent posturing for negotiations.

This team is in win-now mode and in about 3 years, we’ll go into a full rebuild.

And don’t forget: with Fenway having just paid almost a billion dollars for this team, they’ll seize the opportunity to make a run if they think we’re close. Unlike WSH, whose GM rightfully said they’re not that close (they are not 1 player away from being a legit contender), we could be 1 impact player away from being in a similar tier to the TB, CAR, & FLA of our conference.
