Freeridebc Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Van sends Boeser and a 2022 2nd to Ott for 2021 10th oa and Josh Norris. Van trades 2021 2nd and Rathebone to Tampa for Cernak and a 4th. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lock Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I have questions: Why does Ottawa trade away Norris when he's just had a breakout season and is younger than Boeser? What does Norris bring us that Boeser doesn't? On top of the above questions, why would Ottawa throw in the 10th OA pick in with that? Also, why would Tampa trade away Cernak for an unproven Rathbone? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby James Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) Well Boeser is better than Norris so that might actually be a trade they'd be willing to do. That 10th overall pick might be hard to get with it, but perhaps if we toss in a sweetener. I just don't see a reason to do it. Boeser is a great goal scorer and we saw that this year on a bad team. I don't think we're a contender next year, but I also don't think we're 5 years away anymore. I think the current core (Peaty, Hughes, Boeser, Horvat, Demko) need to be ready to compete in the next 2ish years. They seem to really like each other which I honestly think is an important factor and finally after so many years of waiting after this season pretty much all the bad contracts (and the recapture penalty) will be expiring. The trade isn't bad, but just feels like trading Boeser will leave a massive hole in the lineup and we'll be back here talking about needing a scoring winger. (I've heard Cernak is good though so I'd likely do that trade) Edited July 16, 2021 by Bobby James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Rathbone will be a future 2nd pairing D. Rousell, is currently running on an empty gas tank/or relying on gas fumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tampa trade i thought worked for 2 reasons. A blue line with Hughes and Rathebone would be nice, but small. Tampas cap makes resigning reasonable contracts harder. And RFA friendly cap like Rathebone gives them relief, flexibility, and a possible 2nd unit puck moving d man. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCammer Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Why do people keep trying to trade Boeser? Most consistent and productive player we had last year. Grown into his 200 ft game and led the team in Scoring. Sheer lunacy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I really like Boeser, but isn't he supposed to make around $7+ in a year or two? He's from Minny, maybe he'd like to play near home. Boeser for Greenway and Soucy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is our goal to trade our guys that are young and good just because? Brock making 7 mill per is literally just over a million more per season than he makes atm. 30 other NHL teams would gladly pay him 7 or more but the canucks should because god forbid a good player makes 7+ mill TIME TO SHIP HIM OUT!!
