Your original take was bad. No need to double down.
Proposal: HABS & CANUCKS

I like Boeser, but i dont think we are one Boeser from making the playoffs. I also don't think making the playoffs this year is a must (or even a want) by anybody than the coach and players and a minority of fans. Lastly, not sure he fits with the culture of "speed, work hard and never give up" mentality they are trying to build there.
That being said, of the names listed, id be OK with a package that included a subset or combination of hte following players:
Farrell
Tuck
Struble
Norlinder
Ylonen
2rd pick 2024 (AVS)
These are "maybes", but they hurt if we lose them
Roy
Kidney
Mysak
not touching Primeau. RHP is probably attainable, but i like how he fits in the culture.

Show some empathy here. His father went through severe late stage Alzheimer’s before ultimately succumbing to it in the off season. His father was loved amongst the fanbase, just imagine Boeser and what he had to go through last season.
Secondly, Boeser can skate, he just has bad acceleration/top end speed but if you see what he excels at it’s board battles and being strong with the puck. He was one of the best last season stats wise in those categories.
There are many players in the league who are by far worse “skaters” like Pavelski, Matt Tkachuk who is pretty damn slow, Tarasenko, Wheeler, etc yet are still putting up points.
A healthy Boeser is good for 55-60 points. He’s on pace for 75 pts right now and usually hovers around 0.85-0.91ppg.

Those vets are spare parts, and not very good for a rebuilding team. Sign some vets with leadership to keep the team in line.
Also, we dont need to trade futures for random wingers right now.

Cool. Keep him. Montreal doesn’t have room for a .$6.65m perimeter player who can’t keep up with the play. He pretty much single handedly cost the Canucks the game against Vegas last night
BUt the guys you mentioned also play with grit and are actually using their body as physical presence.
Boeser plays like he's Debrincat out there.
Much rather keep him than trade him to another team that doesn’t really have much to offer.
Montreal has a top 10 prospect pool. Unlike Vancouver, whose cupboards are bare. Regardless. Montreal doesn’t need Boeser. Especially not with his contract.
That would be horrendous from a cap management POV.
I'm not overly worried about next year honestly - we can grab a winger from a team with cap issues and actually gain something in return.
lmao. you should be banned from posting as a visiting poster on habs board for such a ridiculous troll ask

My reply is what I believed Canucks fans would ask for and if you think they wouldn't they would then well....
If the Canucks traded Pettersson that would mean they only have Horvat who has a good chance of leaving at the end of the year.
outside of the Habs boards I think most people think Pettersson > Suzuki so the Habs would have to add thus Beck and a 2nd.
OBVIOUSLY the Habs wouldn't find that palatable THUS I put the 2nd trade in my post as it probably would be a good middle ground.
If you feel that Is should be reported and banned then Do it. Publicly telling me is abhorrent and extremely rude. Perhaps you feel the need to have a power trip and hold the guilotine above my head?
If you don't like what I say you do know there his a ignore function? The fact that you go from nothing to the Nuclear option is telling.
Lots of people on the Habs board have given me positive comments and welcomed me and I enjoy their posts. If some hateful few want me gone that's okay because I know the vast majority of the people on the Habs board are top tier people.

Habs won't trade a 2nd in a rebuilding year to dump Drouin or Dadonov.
Especially not to grab a guy who's skating is well bellow average like Boeser.
You do realise Suzuki is outperforming Petterson right now heh?Grow up? Grow some skin?

And that he's signes under 8M for the next 8 years?
Canucks fans reply by saying "Pettersson has shown to be the better player over the long term and the gap in the performance this year is minimal"
I answered @Bouboumaster question, and pointed out that such a trade would never happen. If you think otherwise then please post your fair pettersson to the Habs trade.

1 game in hand for EP but it's close.
Given how this Buffalo-Montreal game is going - it might end 11-12 and give slick Nick the lead.
Ok ok ok; just stop with the dumb counter-offersGrow up? Grow some skin?

Fair enough. Wasn’t implying they should. Just if Vancouvers goal is to stay competitive and avoid a rebuild which seems likely given ownership getting Drouin makes little sense. It’s a terrible proposal for both teams.

I'm not sure what a fair offer would be but i do know that asking for Suzuki + Beck + a 2023 2nd is ridiculous very bad for the Habs.
So is his cap hit . Now isn't the time to be adding big contracts in return for youth and high picks . I suspect Hughes will continue to add prospects and high picks when possible while giving the youth every opportunity to crack the lineup just like he did this year with four rookies on our defense and I think this will continue for the next year or two at least .
The kids are the beginning of what some of us perceive as the trend heading forward.
