Proposal: HABS & CANUCKS
- Thread starter Lockin17
- Start date
I’m sure the Canucks would look to move Boeser and those are some interesting prospects but not sure they (combo I’m assuming your offering) get it done. Also the avs second in 24’ doesn’t do much.

This is interesting. I like the idea of futures for Boeser. This is dealing from a position of strength for the Canucks (scoring winger) and adding to a position of weakness (decent prospects). The issue then becomes finding the value on a long list of futures. Everyone has different opinions regarding prospects and their potential but of the list you provided I think the only players that the Canucks might have interest in would be
Roy, Kidney, Mysak, Beck and Mesar - I also like the pick, but the Avs pick in 2024 is going to be late in the round and a full 2 years away from happening, meaning 5 years away from any real impact. I would consider the Mtl 2023 2nd but that Avs pick doesn't hold a ton of value for a team that refuses to go full rebuild. Farrell has a ton of skill, but given the teams current make up Garland, Kuzmenko, Hoglander, EP the Canucks are already small up front so a player like Farrell is more of the same. I don't think Tuch, Norlinder, RHP or Ylonen are NHLers and if they are its as a call up or fill in, not a year in year out contributor.
Anyhow, if the Habs were willing to move Roy + Kidney or Beck + something to take on either Dadonov or Drouin I would consider it.
Zero chance Habs trade one of Roy, Kidney, Beck for Boeser. All of these guys are just dominant right now and it would be foolish to trade dame for a small winger who's just a very lesser version od Caufield.
We don't need Boeser. We need to stand path in the rebuild. The team will slow down, the goalies will go back to their normal and we'll finish bottom 5. Thats whats going to happen.
umm why do the habs need boeser again? sure, at 25 he fits in a timeline, but habs are in no hurry to make the playoffs.
The wing is pretty set with Slafkovsky, Caufield, Anderson, maybe Dach if habs don't draft a C with one of their 2 1st round picks.
The Assets offered are possibly digestible, but i suspect that as soon as Canucks fans ask for 1sts and / or some of habs young D, this thread will devolve quickly.
Habs need another C to contend; not wingers.
they should be able to draft him next summer
There really is no deal here

I can 100% assure you the habs won't trade Beck or Mesar - and trading Roy would be a PR nightmare.

Also, the Habs really don't need yet another winger that can can't play defence at all.
OP lacks knowledge of Habs needs and objectives. Habs are not trading prospects for a winger during a rebuild. That is the height of stupidity.

Trading prospects away at the start of year 2 of the rebuild sounds like a horrible idea.
And soft as butter.
Habs don't need a guy like him. We need young 23YO ish top liners. Our Core is 23 and under, a guy like Boeser doesn't fit at all.
The only 2 players Habs would be interested in on the Nucks are Hughes and Petterson, that's it. The others doN,t fit the rebuild nor do they fit the winning identity this front office is trying to build
OP is a troll that the mods don't do anything about because most of them think it's funny to have everyone be pissed at Habs fans. Don't believe me? Take a look at every trade proposal made by this guy.

Boeser is injury prone and his contract stinks. Wouldn't want him for free.
naaaaaaaaa. Habs aren't bottom 5 thing.. They might make the playoffs though it's not worth it maybe this year..

The Canucks bandwagon is really hating on Boeser now. Now would be a good time to make offers.
Are any of these guys defensman ?
Edit. This looked like a legit offer on the surface but the more i look into this list the more it looks like all their B level tweeners

Yes. But regardless. Montreal has too many forwards as it is. They don’t need a slow, 1 dimensional winger making $6.65m for the next three years. SO much pass on this.

The Habs are in the fun phase of the rebuild. If you don't add older players you end up becoming the 2014 Edmonton Oilers. Or the Senators of the last couple years.

As a Habs fan there is nothing there other than Roy.
Edit: didn't see Farrell - Roy, Farrell and a 2nd is close but probably not enough.
No they are not.
Habs don't have a starter
Habs don't have a 2nd line
Habs don't have a true #1 Dman ala Hedman / Norris calibre winner
Habs are a top5 draft pick in the NHL. Once team shutdown Suzuki-Caufield and our goalie go back to their career type of play, we'll plumet. Draft Fantili/Bedard/Michkov and then we'll start adding some young vets to the team
When we have that, then we'll contend. Until then trade the guys that are 26 and up for picks. Thats it.
