I’m not advocating for trading Boeser, it’s just really interesting to think of what we could potentially get for him. Indeed. Wild and Sabres make for interesting partners too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Howz'bout Ottawa, for Colin White & #5 overall? Or White, Brannstrom & #33OA? Big cap savings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would want Tierney coming back if we deal with Ottawa. Top 3 Centers would be Petey, Bo and Tierney. Gaud would become a RWer. Tierney and some good young assets(better picks/prospects than Buf/Min would have to give) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon.Duck Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 ah yes, now hockey has truly returned. As the "journalists" come out of the woodwork to claim insider knowledge on potential player movements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) It's a smart move. You maintain a deep, balanced offence. You replenish the prospect pool with depth/more picks. You redistribute resources, shifting more to the blueline. You cash in on the asset's value(also marketability in his character & charisma - we've got more of that with our youth) You keep building towards Complete team-speed(one aspect BB can't really enhance) You get thru the next 2 yrs of a cap-squeeze Edited July 10, 2020 by Nuxfanabroad 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BertaNuck Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) Minny 1rst, dumba no matter the out come of the play in series we get a 12.5% chance for first overall Edited July 11, 2020 by Filthy McNasty 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but they might want another young asset with Boeser or even to swap 1sts. So we’d have to be fine with giving that. It might be a bit more wishful to think for that much for just Boeser. 8th can still be a top prospect and those have high value. If they were dumb/desperate enough to offer that I wouldn’t think twice about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know..White could turn around(younger that CT), flipped for more picks(& cap space) etc... I think AG will keep improving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the quality of the main player coming back I would want a greater return of younger assets (picks/prospects). The worse the roster player the higher/better the picks/prospects and vice versa. Might be safer to aim for more of a better roster player deal but we potentially free up more cap if we aim for the better prospects/picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't even make sense. He's already facing criticism for this rumour. So clearly he isn't avoiding any criticism either way. If Benning is wanting to move Boeser, it's because he feels it'll improve the team. What's next? We want to trade Boeser because he is supposedly a Brackett pick and Benning hates everything to do with Brackett? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNeil Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Send LE with him to the Wild. Does anyone know if teams are allowed to swap 1st round picks with their qualifying opponent. So in essence the team that wins the series gets the better pick. I think that would be more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -AJ- Posted July 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2020 Personally, I'm very wary if this. I feel prioritizing Toffoli over Boeser would be a huge mistake. Boeser is far younger. If we do this it better be for a very good package. 1 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
