Rumor: Dhaliwal: CBJ will be very interested in Boeser, should he become available in trade. CBJ wants Boeser long term

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Probably something like the Wild first and a prospect like Bel Del whatever

 

[EP to EP back to EP]

Has that literally ever happened at the deadline? CBJ just makes no sense here.

I'm not saying it will. I'm just saying that when I read "CBJ wants Boeser long term" I usually think they want him signed. or at least to know that he is willing to re-sign.

 

[Canucks LB]

Okay. How many trades, deals, or rumours has he confirmed before anyone else with Allvin and co at the helm ?

(HINT: It rhymes with hero)

I think the media continues to reap all the clicks they'll ever need by simply connecting dots, and not actually hearing anything from anyone significant.

Seriously? He has called 50+ from small to bigover the years

They can just do that in the off-season. Even if they want to trade for his rights. I'm not downplaying the guy, but wing is literally our least needed position.

People are talking about Boeser as if he's a sniper but he hasn't shown his deadly release since he broke his back in his rookie year. He's transformed his game into being a 200ft guy that can sit in front of the net or needle passes through the slot. His skating sucks because of the aforementioned injury, but he's smart enough that you don't notice it when he's playing. His offensive and defensive positioning are phenomenal and he's really good along the boards. If you're a transition team, that's when acquiring Boeser would be a negative addition.

Personally, I'd sign him. Brock's the epitome of what it means to be a Canuck, much like the Sedin's were. He plays the way we need the rest of the guys to play and by all means is a leader in the room. It's worth keeping our Mr. Sensitive.

Can they? In the off season they need to compete with 31 other teams, minus the ones that aren't interested and can't afford him. So lets say 10 other teams interested in him. Let's say one of them happens to be Minnesota during that time. CBJ likely can't entice him enough.

Lets say one isn't Minnesota, how comfortable are they that he will go to them over one of the other 10 teams?

If they trade for him in season, and start working on the deal months before any other team can show interest, their chances increase significantly. At this point his camp has told them he is willing to sign, and they get unfettered access for 3 months to get the deal done as the only team that can.

Ever fan says "We'll just get him in the offseason." and we are almost always wrong.

Sure, but once again. Why pay 2 or 3 premium prospects now if we're not a lock for the playoffs? Trade for his rights in the off-season if you want to try for him that bad, which I would be shocked if they were. We have wayyyyy bigger flaws that need addressed.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Columbus isn't really at the contention stage yet in the playoffs, so why would they trade assets for Boeser over just signing him as a UFA? It seems like the Canucks aren't going to re-sign him anyway.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

I'd take this in a heartbeat.

I really like LDBB.

Again, you're assuming the team that does trade for him doesn't want to re-sign him here. You're hoping that a team like NJD or VGK trades for him just for a playoff run because they likely don't have the space next season for him.

The Wild have shown interest in the past. They have the assets to trade, and 14m in dead cap coming off the books. There are many other playoff teams with the cap next season who may be interested as well. CBJ's GM will know his best option is to try and do it in season, or start focusing on plan B.

 

[BHD]

Boeser is a good player to have. Do the Jackets need him though?

You keep glossing over the fact that I keep saying we have way bigger needs than a guy like him.

I apologize for that, but this is a thread about how your GM is interested in trading for him. Not about the bigger needs the team has.
The Canucks needed to start a rebuild in 2015 and our idiot GM was trying to fake it till he made it because our moron owner refused to do so. Instead of acquiring assets, we sent them out, and 10 years later we are still suffering the effects of that. Owners/GM's rarely see things the way us fans do.

I'll start to buy it when a CBJ beat picks it up. For now, it's complete nonsense to me.

You'll get a good rental haul for him from a contender, which the Jackets aren't as of right now.

 

[cbjthrowaway]

Boeser is a good player to have. Do the Jackets need him though?

the short answer is that he fills a need, yes.

the monahan line has been awesome all year. beyond that our forward group has been a bit of a mixed bag.

fantilli's getting some momentum playing with monahan's linemates while he's out, but he hasn't really gelled with anyone. kent johnson has been awesome but they don't have anyone established to play him with at 5v5. chinakhov's still out, jenner's still out, and sillinger is better at this point on a checking line. and all the guys i just mentioned are left handed.

boeser struggles in transition but both KJ and fantilli excel there. seems like a good player to target to get those guys going. in some ways he's an ideal second line winger for us right now.

 

[Dumais]

Boeser is a good player to have. Do the Jackets need him though?

CBJ is at the cap floor. Do we need him? no. Does a playoff caliber team (with hopes for a deep run) need him? If CBJ want to become that they do.

 

[krutovsdonut]

Columbus isn't really at the contention stage yet in the playoffs, so why would they trade assets for Boeser over just signing him as a UFA? It seems like the Canucks aren't going to re-sign him anyway.

to avoid a beauty contest. historically bad teams need an edge to sign players or they end up overpaying.

 

[StlBigFly]

Boeser is a good player to have. Do the Jackets need him though?

Depending on decisions, it is probably in Columbus’ best interest to select a ufa from the total pool versus having it picked for them.

The team has a ton of both pending ufas and prospects which makes next seasons cap floor a real pending challenge for them. And they have a cap floor waiver for this season due to the offseason tragedy.

If they do not control their own destiny to cap floor then they’re going to go down a path that probably isn’t a great one. An example of this would be if they were forced into overpaying some free agent after they’ve all been picked thru that isn’t really wanted or isn’t a good fit.

I think they’ll be big game hunting permanently until they get their guy. At the eleventh hour they’re going to get him either way, it’s just whether it’s somebody they want or not.

 

[NyQuil]

This reminds me of when Dhaliwal said something and Canucks fans were pencilling in Artem Zub into their lineups.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Seriously? He has called 50+ from small to bigover the years

So, like which ones ?

Or anyone who follows him as I know he gets a lot of leeway, but im generously curious as to which ones he's gotten correct.

Basically everything that happens in Vancouver he’s basically the first person to report it.

And I’m only exaggerating a little bit

 

[Siludin]

Voronkov-Monahan-Marchenko is one of the best lines in hockey this year. Boeser isn't better than any of those guys. I hear that Kent Johnson guy is pretty good too

Johnson could use someone to play with.
Columbus is also competing for a wildcard spot and is looking to add. Whoever they can acquire via trade will be easier to re-sign before UFA vs. trying to gamble acquiring an equivalent talent in the open market (not Columbus' forte).
You're also underselling Boeser.

 

[EP to EP back to EP]

I still say Van tries to get Sillinger out of CBJ and use Boeser to do it.

 

[Ninjadude]

Seems Allvin is going to move Boeser if he can't get a deal worked out. Canucks are not looking like a contending team, so you can't let assets (especially when they have so few prospects in the pipeline) go for nothing.

Letting assets go for nothing..? That's a Jim Benning move!

 

[lawrence]

is it just me or does this a new rumor come from this guy every week that never seems to actually happen

He's posting a rumour.... dhaliwal has a history of accuracy.
