Rumor: End of an era with Boeser and Canucks. Boeser: "Honestly its unlikely at this point (to re-sign)". Where does he go and for how much?

[Coffee]

BTW, I was also complimenting the Oilers’ offseason moves.

was not XD

 

[belair]

Or lose core pieces to chase players like Henrique, Arvidsson and Skinner

Core pieces? Losing those two sucked, but both were complimentary pieces that likely get much small roles in Edmonton.

 

[iFan]

I like Boeser but not at 8+ mil a year with term that he seems to be looking for.

I know better then to get in an argument with belair. So that’s not what I’m doing , but I do want to say Bank Shot started it first

 

[f7ben]

5 years 6.5m in Mn and I’m happy

 

[bert]

That fits perfectly in their salary structure for their core. They do it easily.

They have 8.5 coming off the books just from retentions and UFA's they won't re-sign.

They need a center they can't blow their load on a a winger before they secure that.

 

[Breakers]

for potential suitors

He uses the season to get into shape

January is when he starts to have good cardio

 

[Buffdog]

How slow is he?

If Ehlers walks, I could see Chevy making a run at him. Minnesota boys are probably the most likely to be OK with coming to Winnipeg

Boeser is below average speed, significantly slower than Ehlers.

Break it up, you two.

Hes already rejected a 5 year deal with more AAV. Its term that he wants

 

[Leafshater67]

Understandable. Canucks had to save their cap space for core pieces like Hoglander and Joshua.

You’re not wrong but I’d rather not sign a 8 x 8 for a one dimensional 30 goal man who can’t skate or stay healthy. Especially not one who was about to be dumped with a 1st just for taking him at 6.5m

 

[Spurgeon]

Because we need C and even though winger is important also. we have gone what has felt like 100 years without a C and we need one

Why are we potentially trading Rossi if we need centers?

 

[Leafshater67]

If Marner walks in the off-season this is a worthy Plan B for Toronto. Definitely a large delta between the two players, but him and Matthews seem to get along and if the Leafs can for once sign someone at a team friendly price the extra cap space would go a long way.

Something tells me he wants to play for an American team though after all the years in Vancouver

Just what the leafs need, a slow soft forward who doesn’t drive play or offer anything outside of 25-30 goals.

The leafs need a lot more of Matt Knies types, not Brock Boeser.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Probably Minnesota if not maybe Chicago.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

They will dodge a huge bullet not re signing him to a contract that will be gross

 

[f7ben]

Hes already rejected a 5 year deal with more AAV. Its term that he wants

He wants to come home and he’s basically made that known though his agent

 

[Spurgeon]

I think there’s about a 50% chance he signs in MN. The only reason Guerin couldn’t bring him in a few years ago is because the cap wouldn’t work.

If term is his biggest desire, maybe you throw Vancouver a 4th or 5th round pick to get the extra year on his contract. Doing that might bring the AAV down by $500-750K.

8 years, $60M ($7.5M AAV) is my guess. $7.5M is going to be around 5% of the cap towards the end of that contract, which is completely manageable if he falls off.

 

[Hockeyfan200]

Why are we potentially trading Rossi if we need centers?

I think potentially if what is being reported is true, if he's seeking 9 to 10 mil per year, he's not worth this, Maybe they can agree on a shorter term contract

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Welcome to Boston but hopefully not

 

[centipede2233]

Whoever signs him will be very dissapointed

 

[CascadiaPuck]

He's not really a consistent 40 goal scorer
He only scored 30 goal once, same year he scored 40 goals

Most of his career he's been a mid 20s goal guy

Which shocks me actually around the hype this guy gets.

He’s a 30 goal pace scorer over his >500 game career. Health has been a factor, but baggage like his father’s health concerns are behind BB now. UFA Guys who can put up 30 g and 65 p are going to be coming in costlier than many think given the cap changes.

 

[The Burdened]

calling Boeser's time with the Canucks an "Era" is an insult to eras and explains why they never went anywhere during his tenure. He is not that guy.

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

Slow player that at one point in time scored goals and will sign an albatross contract?

Welcome to the Rangers, Brock.
