komodo0921 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Recent rumors suggest LA could be interested in Brock Boeser. This could be a very fortuitous opportunity for JR and co. Brock Boeser and Jack Rathbone for Brandt Clarke and Samuel Helenius LA has a wealth of RHD but lack in LHD prospects. Rathbone is promising to be a high-end lefty. Brock gives them a righty sniper that would fit right in with Arvidsson, Kempe, and Brown, making that side a real strength. We get a, much needed, RHD that brings a wealth of offensive talent to a team that desperately needs it. We also get a huge depth forward that projects to be a bottom-six stalwart, brimging physicality and defensive strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) Yes I would love this would be a dream trade for us. I'd even throw in Hoglander to make it happen. Edited March 6, 2022 by hammertime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have gone 1st OA if I was making the pick last year. He's got 52 points in 42 games in the OHL not the Q not the W the OHL is a good step above. We're talking about and elite D prospect for James Neal light here. Land slide win for us. Edited March 7, 2022 by hammertime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a great prospect. Im definitely not arguing that. But he is just a prospect and one never knows how these kids will transition into the pros. Boeser is a proven entity scoring 25-30 a year and 50+ points. Rathbone is also a potential top 4 D who has looked good in the pros this year. If your trading away such an elite young player and a top prospect then Id like to see a little more added then a couple prospects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the LD on Vancouver 1. Hughes 2. OEL, Rathbone has to move past OEL to get any ice time? Rathbone should and will be a #4 D man just not in Vancouver.. I really like Rathbones upside look at his stats in AHL this season Gp19 -- Points 21, needs to work on defensive coverage better but he will have a very good NHL career.. We need decent prospect back with same upside as Rathbone under 25.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean that now is the time to trade him, or to just give him away as a sweetener in another deal. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Byfeld and Clarke are untouchable prospects I’d imagine. I think a deal could be pretty nice for some of those other guys though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helenius is one of the best skaters I've ever seen at 6'6 at his age he's got all the tools to be a very good 3C in the league if not much much more. I watch the draft very closely every year I had him as a 1st rounder. He's got great tools he isn't a toss in. You may remember his Father Sami Helenius this kids a viking. Clarke is about as sure thing as you can get to be a top pairing RHD outside the NHL as it gets. He's better than Schneider and it's not even close. Brock's got 18 even strength points. For contrast Garland has 29 and costs 4.95m Now tell me how Brocks worth 7x7 Edited March 7, 2022 by hammertime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly they have some appealing center and RHD prospects. Even after you exclude their top 2 guys because I can’t see them with where they are realistically moving either Byfeld or Clarke.

We're not getting him for Boeser and Rathbone. Clarke is their Quinn Hughes. He's going to be a top pairing Dman... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 From everything I've read, Clarke has a high ceiling and he made big improvements with the Colts. I guess the feasibility of this depends on how highly they view Clarke's potential to reach his ceiling. One one hand it's a risk for us, since Boeser is already a proven player and I feel Rathbone still has the potential to be an impact NHL player. On the other, we all know the elements of Boeser's game which aren't ideal for the kind of team we are building and we do badly need a stud RHD. I'd do it. (Though I have to caveat this like I do any time discussing Boeser considering he's a great guy and I'd like to see him stay on our team). Just not sure they would.

I dropped it in the Boeser trade rumour section but I said Boeser for Athanasiou, Turcotte and Grans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
