Boeser, Dickinson and a 2nd for Fiala

Boeser for Fiala straight up is not equal. Fiala > Boeser imho.
Boeser + 2nd for Fiala is a bit too much. 
so Boeser + Dickinson as a dump and 2nd as a sweetener for Fiala could work ? 

Boeser could play in front of his familiy and friends.
 

 

Doesn't really make sense for the Wild and it's not realistic cap wise.  Their dead cap following the Parise/Suter buyouts increase by 8M to reach 13M next season and will stay on the books for another 2 seasons after that at 15M.  There's definitely no spot or cap space for Dickinson.

If they had the cap space they would just retain Fiala.  He has a lower qualifying offer and has been the more productive player while so often getting the short shrift in terms of linemates.  His C all season has been journeyman Gaudreau (was a 13th F for Pittsburgh last season).  They've finally got him a talented linemate this January in Boldy and their chemistry has been something else.  

 

Guerin was asked and mocked the idea of going after local players.  He even complained about a country club atmosphere when he took over where he felt some players wanted to be in Minnesota for family reasons over hockey reasons.  Russo adds that ownership couldn't care less and isn't even from Minnesota.  Their fan favourites have been from all over the world.

Easy to say, but he has had the chance to put ink to paper on a contract extension for a long time now and hasn’t chosen to.

 

He could end trade rumours immediately by signing a contract that makes him too good of a deal to trade.  If he wants to maximize his earnings, that is fair too… it is just his choice to have to deal with the trade chatter and possibility of moving on.  
 

It is a little annoying when players seem to suggest this is all external and out of their control.  Really it is only Garland who can even act a little aggrieved.  He just signed a contract and is playing at a level that makes it a good deal.  If he gets traded that is just because of a change in management that he had no control over.

I hear what you're saying - there could've been an opportunity to figure out something for an extension; but at the same time I'm not worried since many GM's around the league have stated they're not making moves (including re-signing guys) like they used to because everything about the cap during the COVID era is so unpredictable, and this club has been in a 'transitional' stage for several months now (even if the actual date of JB's firing was later there's no way a BB extension was first and foremost on JB's mind when things were really bad there for several months) - there likely wouldn't have been any 'big' signings/trades/extensions during that period anyway. 

 

I'm quite convinced, with the recent media comments from JR, that Boeser's days as a Canuck are numbered - moving him maximizes a return (he's still regarded as a very good scorer, he's young, the right team could easily offer him a new lengthy contract), addresses the 'cap flexibility' that JR keeps mentioning, and allows Allvin to address the 'speed' issue on the forward group to an extent.  To me, despite what's being said on these forums, it's 50/50 who will be moved first - Miller or Boeser.

Has JR even offered a contract to Boeser?

why do we want a 5'10 D in return? Undersized imo and would be silly to give up on a skilled player like Hoglander already, would be like when we traded McCann and now he is gonna be a near 30G scorer in Seattle this season

We don’t need more small puck movers we need big physical two way D men.

 

Would make no sense but he’s a Pens pick so maybe Rutherford values him higher.

Yes.  How the logic goes, as far as I can tell, is that Brackett helped draft Hoglander and Allvin/Rutherford drafted Addison, so that must mean that they want to trade them for each other.  Faulty logic aside...........I really hope it's true!!

McCann was selected by the Vancouver Canucks in the first round (24th overall) of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, McCann has previously played for the Canucks, Florida Panthers and Pittsburgh Penguins. Was also property of the Toronto Maple Leafs and then picked in expansion by the Seattle Kraken.

 

 

No offense meant but can we please get over this guy.

it’s been 7 years and we weren’t the only team that’s passed on him. 
 

he’s almost 26, having a great season and kudos to him, but not many prospects are held onto that long in the same organization to prove they are a top 6 guy in the NHL.

He's on the small side, but apparently gritty and as good defensively as he is offensively.  I think he would be a good addition, but I agree they have to keep a few D with size around too (Oh where did you go, Nikita Tryamkin....:()!

Way to overreact...Guess I can't mention Markstrom and how he was once available for free and he turned into a #1 with Vancouver and now a Vezina candidate with Calgary...but please, cry me a river some more why don't you...
