Well. luckily there is plenty of teams looking to take on big caps hits currently....

 

[EpochLink]

Myers, OEL, Boeser are the ones with some value.
Probably Garland too, Kuzmenko has pretty much erased Boeser as a go to scorer on the team.

 

[Cancuks]

Myers, OEL, Boeser are the ones with some value.
Probably Garland too, Kuzmenko has pretty much erased Boeser as a go to scorer on the team.

OEL has zero value unless they retain 50%. Even then I doubt he brings more than a 3rd round pick in return. Boeser won't return more than a 3rd either with his contract. Same thing with Myers.

I’d love to hear the rationale for OEL having value. Unless you mean full retention with a couple draft picks attached kind of value.

 

[credulous]

this means nothing. rutherford has been saying this since he took over and they've done nothing but reup bad contracts and sign new questionable contracts

Don’t care, get rid of this Jim Fat f*** Benning mess.

 

[Riggins]

You say this after signing Miller and Boeser for big money?

 

[Empoleon8771]

I don't even know what guys would fall into a category of "guys Vancouver would want to trade" and "guys Vancouver could trade without taking money back". No one is acquiring Myers or OEL without sending money out. Boeser makes a lot of money for what he provides as well.

I think Garland is probably their best bet for a guy they can trade out without taking any money back. A ~50 point 2nd liner costs $5 million or more in UFA and he makes $4.95 million, so I definitely think he could be moved without taking money back. But I think he's pretty much the only guy that Vancouver would consider trading that also could be moved without taking money back.

 

[Mr Positive]

Having they been trying to do this for a couple years? The issue is they want to get rid of the players that no one wants

 

[Petey But Really Jim]

his value is that of a first round pick

ninth overall roughly

Boeser for a 3rd eh? He’s 25 and has scored at a 30 goal pace over his career so far (330gp with 121 goals).

You can hate on him all you want, but he’s definitely going to bring back more than that if we elect to trade him.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

If the Dickinson trade is any indication, the Canucks are going to get bent over a lot in the offseason.

 

[LaVal]

Benning's not going to let a small thing like being fired prevent him from costing Vancouver more picks.

 

[66-30-33]

Pens will take Hughes off your hands.

 

[innitfam]

Deja vu...

 

[Coach Parker]

Then why sign Boeser?

 

[5cotland]

Myers, OEL, Boeser are the ones with some value.
Probably Garland too, Kuzmenko has pretty much erased Boeser as a go to scorer on the team.

Lol he has scored 7 goals including 3 in one game.

Do you think you are getting ahead of yourself comparing a consistent 20+ goalscorer to a new player who has played 12 games?

 

[Schemp]

I could see Myers going to AZ after his signing bonus is paid.

 

[McJedi]

Boeser has no value. Overpaid and injury prone.

myers value is dubious until he’s in his contract year And becomes a rental you don’t need to commit to. Today, negative value.

OEL has value? Lolz.

 

[King In The North]

I could see a team doing two 2nds.

Marino...oh wait.

Boeser has zero 30 goal seasons.

ZERO…

odd for a guy that scores at this apparent 30 goal mark he’s never reached a single time in his nhl career. guess he’s the first ever never 30 goal scorer 30 goal scorer?

dude cant stay healthy. One dimensional player that can’t skate. NHL doesn’t trade value for overpaid, injury prone wingers that can’t skate. There are no nhl teams that want to fork over $6.65mm per for him.

dude has been a + player only one season in his entire nhl career, with 70% career ozone starts no less.

So true. the reason he didn’t offload any of the big contracts is he didn’t like the returns. So looks like he will lower expectations next summer
