Rumor: Teams Calling on Brock Boeser (Per Rick Dhaliwal on Chek TV)

[Rabid Ranger]

Minnesota really can't trade Dumba with Suter gone and Soucy (probably) going to Seattle.

If Vancouver has called to ask about Fiala, who Guerin's reportedly exploring the market for, it wouldn't shock me if Minnesota was the team that asked for Boeser in return.

Sure they can. The Wild need a player like Boeser a lot more than they need a player like Dumba.

 

[Bazeek]

They really don't, and that trade would leave them with two top-4 defensemen.

We keep hearing about all of this defensive depth on the Wild so it shouldn't be a problem-eh?

 

[Szechwan]

This happens every offseason for some reason.

No chance they trade their young, point leading and top goal scorer for anything less than a legit young top pair RHD. I have no clue who I'd even ask for.

Could see Buffalo asking for him if they inquired on Eichel though.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Rumours are that Benning has been interested in acquiring Jones.

I think logically, it went down as Benning acquiring what the cost was and Jarmo coming back with Boeser.

 

[Bazeek]

That defensive depth saw something of a setback recently.

If Vancouver moves him its because they aren't comfortable with his back injury history. Boeser is a weapon

I’d actually say it’s because they are not comfortable with 1 year left before they will have to pay him! He had his best season last year, back seemed fine to me.

And the biggest problem with paying him long term is...?

I would say his best season was his rookie season but its close. I didn't watch a ton of vancouver games.

 

[Zippgunn]

One thing to keep in mind, are American born players on Canadian teams like the ktachuk bros, matthews, and boeser going to sign and resign into there ufa years. The answer I believe is no. Matthews is gone after 3 more years, both ktachuks are likely going home to stlouis once they hit ufa. So even though these are players you build around, are you prepared to lose them for nothing when ufa hits.

THIS in spades! BB would almost certainly prefer to play south of the 49th parallel and when his contract comes up he may well demand a trade...

 

[Pyrophorus]

Boeser for Hyman.

There is nothing at all that has ever come out regarding Brock Boeser to support this. Legit nothing at all.

 

[Matsens15]

2-3 4th line players with AAV of 3-4M should do it to make Benning happy!

Rights to Hyman, should do it, then.

 

[Love]

Boeser for Hyman.

How do you trade a free agent?

Almost certainly? Based on what?

 

[Digitalbooya]

They really don't, and that trade would leave them with two top-4 defensemen.

Losing Suter, Dumba, and potentially Soucy in one offseason... Not gonna lie, it would be super entertaining to load up the offense for once.

Ya ok. If you spent like 5 seconds searching you would have a different opinion. Brock optimizes "character guy" more than anyone else I can think of off the top of my head and is genuinely a great kid who loves the young core he is a part of. Benning and staff have gone above and beyond when it comes to Brocks sad situation with his father, Brock is about as decent as they come and is not someone who will bolt and Vancouver is not a budget team that will low-ball their own stars.

 

[gstommylee]

How do you trade a free agent?

You trade the rights to the free agent. That allows them to negotiate before FA the only problem is there's an expansion draft thus they would have to either protect their rights to negotiate with the player or let Seattle have a crack at him.

Unless this of course is a sign and trade and that acquiring team protects him.

 

[Cogburn]

Well these are some awful trades, even as jokes.

I'll be gentle with Dumba because Wild and Canucks fans discussed it so much in previous seasons...but Dumba isn't the D we need any more.

 

[nowhereman]

THIS in spades! BB would almost certainly prefer to play south of the 49th parallel and when his contract comes up he may well demand a trade...

The only potentially realistic reason why Boeser would want to move closer to home is because of his family and the situation with his father. Beyond that, I don't see any fear that Americans would want to move away from Vancouver (including Hughes and Demko). It's one of the most beautiful cities in the world and is frequently cited as one of, if not the most promising investment opportunity in North America.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Not happening. If Boeser isn't untouchable, he's damn close.

Well no one's untouchable. But for league value on what you'd expect to get on Boeser, a trade would be in a word - needless.

 

[BCNate]

And the biggest problem with paying him long term is...?

I would say his best season was his rookie season but its close. I didn't watch a ton of vancouver games.

Nah, last year was by far his best. He has developed a pretty solid two way game. Boeser is turning into a fantastic young winger.

His next contract won't be an issue, as he won't get much of a raise. Boeser is already at ~6 mil, even if he goes to 7.5 or 8 long term it's not a problem. Cap will be rising during that time as well.

 

[BrilliantBroReferee]

How about Logan Stanley? He's not a top pairing dman, but he's the tallest young defenseman you could possibly get.

He sucks. We don;t need a poor man's version of Tyler Myers.

 

[57special]

Sure they can. The Wild need a player like Boeser a lot more than they need a player like Dumba.

You haven't been keeping up on the recent news out of MN, have you?
