Boedker is a fine player, but his contract sucks. Easy choice.
this is a ridiculous statement. only 8 of his 37 points have come on the pp. he starts most of his shifts in the defensive zone, plays penalty kill and is an all around good winger.Boedker is good on the PP and that's just about it. I'd rather take my chances with the 3 picks, easy choice.
boedker and bergman. boedker is extremely underrated
i meant his value is underrated. 4 million for 2 more seasons isn't a bad deal whatsoever for a player that plays in all situations and puts up 30 pointsSounds like you haven’t watched him as a Shark. “Underrated” is the last word I’d use to describe him.

i'm shocked to hear this reallyPlays in all situations? I can’t remember Boedker playing any significant minutes on the PK and he was garbo on the PP. He “technically” played on our shutdown line but it was by virtue of having nowhere else to put him rather than by virtue of his own play. His effort severely fluctuates. He rode the coattails of Hertl and Couture’s dominant playoff performances and put up okay numbers. He was trash defensively. Just like Yotes fans warned us, he’s the type of player who will put up three goals in two games and look like a world-beater (usually against bottom-feeders) and then look completely invisible at best for the next fifteen games.
No, Boedker is not a cap dump. But he is not worth a 2nd round pick and his contract isn’t good and he isn’t good.

because i thought he was extremely underrated. i thought the people that said "he's a cap dump" were being too harsh on himIf you didn’t know anything about Boedker, then why did you make the strong statement “Boedker is extremely underrated”?
Scored at a significantly higher rate 5v5 than Hoffman did last season... I find that surprising, considering all of the comments about the two players.If you didn’t know anything about Boedker, then why did you make the strong statement “Boedker is extremely underrated”?
2 years at $4 million for a guy producing middle-6 numbers isn't a bad contract.
This site is really dumb when it comes to draft picks. Boedker likely has the value of a 2nd rounder right now after having a pretty solid season last year, especially if Ottawa would retain salary on him.
We also need cap flexibility. Boedker is being paid 4 million until 2020.Depends. If i'm voting from Edmonton (my teams) views. I'd probably take Boedker as we don't need the picks. We need proven guys.
I voted as an Ottawa fan. I choose the picks easily. What does Boedker do for a team that's not going to be a cup contender anytime soon. Yeah he might throw in 10-15 goals next year, great good for him. Ottawa is still going to be a bottom 5 team IMO.
Boedker is a fine player, but his contract sucks. Easy choice.
Which would you rather have?
Don't forget the $5million the Sens saved.
