Proposal: Are you in favour of trading Brock Boeser?

Yes. As much as I love Brock. I think he needs a change of scenery
Take whatever you can get for him because there’s no way you can give him a $7.5 million QO.

Yes 100%. Him and Miller for huge assets. Build around Petey/Demko/Horvat/Hughes/Garland/Hog/Pod

Yes. The Flow has got to go.
Mainly cause he is t worth his QO and the return would hopefully be decent.

If he isn’t worth his QO (which at this point looks correct) the return will not be good.
He could be good on a stacked team that does all of the heavy lifting for him..

I’d think our best-case might be a Toffoli-type return as a pure rental from a team that knows they won’t qualify him.

Eh, Boeser at 50% & Motte for Kapanen and a prospect Allvin likes.
(I'm mostly joking.. but I do think a trade is inevitable between these teams)

Certainly would be right now if he stayed playing like that. Barzal hasn’t been great either the past couple yearsRemember when we thought he was better than Barzal?

Did anyone actually think this?
Soft, slow , poor on defence but with good offensive skills and an elite shoot. He is also becoming very streaky. Can't relly on him as a consistent producer. He should be traded during one of his hot steaks if that is possible, to maximize his trade value.

Unfortunately yes, he would be the first one I'd trade to collect a 1st or some solid assets. Love Brock but he isn't the same after his back injury. Boeser is playing like a passenger now, and no longer drives the play. Boeser soon will be a free agent and the Canucks simply cannot afford what he brings to the team anymore. Might aswell get some assets for him before its too late.

There was definitely some homerism there, but he was legitimately a different player. He used to drive any line he was on. Remember when he played with Gagner and Vanek and they would just light it up?Remember when we thought he was better than Barzal?
Of course you move him for the right return. If he could be packaged with Hamonic for an upgrade on Hamonic + pick/prospect sure.
But wouldn't look to dump him until you get to officially discuss what his next contract looks like. His QO becomes moot if they sign an extension in the summer. If they can't, then start to actively shop him.
But yeah, if the right deal comes along, he's certainly not untouchable or anything.

I think he's a total passenger with high IQ play. Under-rated playmaker too but as everyone has been saying, that 7 5M QO just ain't worth what he brings. It's disappointing because after seeing his rookie campaign he looked like a 30goal scorer. On top of that I actually think his shot is over-rated - it's become pretty telegraphed.
On SN 650 tonight
"What is Boeser's best trait, and where would you rank it out of 10?"
"Shooting... in his rookie season it was a 9.... now, it's not even an 8."
His skating just isn't good enough to go back on D, that one sequence tonight where he awkwardly turned his back on the forward because he couldn't skate backwards fast enough was damning. He doesn't have the breakaway speed to go one on one with the goaltender. He has a decent one-timer, but usually doesn't get it off fast enough to avoid the shot block. We would be hard-pressed to fit him in long term anyway.
If anyone has earned a long term contract, it's Miller. I'm fine with moving on from Bo and Brock. I understand that trading Bo is controversial, but I don't see how you trade Miller and hope to get a player back in return who will maybe turn into another Miller. Meanwhile, Bo provides key faceoffs and is occasionally good for the SO or a breakaway, but just doesn't do it on a consistent enough basis to justify making him your guy. On a cup contender, he's a 3C who kills penalties by taking key draws. Important yes, but not irreplaceable. Miller just might be. Night in, night out, the guy is noticeably driving the offense, but everyone is ready to drive him to the airport for late 1st round picks from the NY Rangers? No.

I have your gold medal Zippy!
All I remember from Gagner was him mailing it in for us. Only work he did was cashing his big paycheque. Jim Benning did him a big favor when his lazy ass was rightly demoted by sending him to an AHL division rival in Toronto so he’d be closer to his family instead of the Comets. Punk later cried & bad mouthed Benning anyways. So much for helping a guy out.
