It's almost like giving multi-millions to multiple fourth-liners is a bad idea. Crazy.

Imagine trading Boeser just because you don't want criticism for Toffoli lmfao

That's the first thing I said in my head LOL.

I wonder what a package for Boeser would look like.

A total sniper with a shoot first mentality is just what the doctor ordered for this team.

I agree Gravesy. What are VAN?s needs?

Agree. Perfect RW replacement for Fast on the Panarin/Strome line.

 

Obviously Buch goes the other way, but then it gets tricky. Both the Rangers and the Canucks need cost controlled bottom 6 players and left side D.

 

Not sure there's a fit.

The Rangers don't have the cap room for Boeser. He's already at a 6M cap hit.

Have to hope Markstrom walks. Georgiev would be a Target. Not sure they’d target Buchnevich, since they are resigning Tofolli and Buch will need a raise sooner than Boeser.

i dont see us fitting him. DeAngelo already needs a raise. and if Vancouver's motivations are to relieve their own cap issues, I can't really piece together any move that see's them getting that relief and a reasonably fair enough value, player quality wise, for Boeser.

They have a hole on d, so they would need to trade Boeser to fill that hole. It's not about not having the money, it's about what they're spending it on.

tweet says they want to solve a cap crunch and they have literally 0 cap space at the moment

Cap Friendly has them literally with 30k left

They have a couple of guys coming off the books via UFA (but that includes Toffoli who they apparently want to sign) but other RFAs to sign as well. they need the space

 

I would 100% take Boeser here. I just don't see it fitting.
