Value of: Brock Boeser for Young D-Man

[Love]

Such a bad thread idea. I swear people just get bored with their team and come up with these ridiculous ideas.

Theres a greater chance of us drafting someone like Bowen Byram that Kakko or Hughes... in which case it would be especially ridiculous to trade Boeser for a D man.

People on this site have such a silly view of wingers they act like wingers don't matter.. yet you cant convince me that the Blackhawks and their 3 cup winning teams weren't teams that were built very much around wingers. They had a #1D, a #1C, and the best wingers in the league. Not the best defence, not the best goalie, and no where near the best centre depth. C depth was actually pretty terrible for Cup winning teams (Look at their 2Cs) yet they were dominant teams often times carried by their elite wingers like Kane, Sharp, Hossa, Saad, Panarin, Ladd, and Versteeg.

Flames have too many young stud d-men (Kylington, Hanifin, Ras, Vali), I'd trade one for Boeser if he ever had a healthy 82 game season. I know 99.6% of Canuck fans won't do the trade (and in reality shouldn't), but it could work bro.

2 goals in the first period today

I wasn't on board at first, but you had me at 'bro'. Done deal.

 

[Dump Itch]

Trade him.

 

[elitepete]

Carlo, Kampfer, and a second for Boeser and Virtanen

Carlo projects to be a number 1 guy within two years. Hell, we'd even throw in Heinen.

Change Carlo to McAvoy and make the 2nd a 1st

 

[Motte and Bailey]

Never mind he’s a stud, won’t be traded even in a HF proposal

 

[Canucks1096]

Trade Virtanen instead

 

[Three On Zero]

Change Carlo to McAvoy and make the 2nd a 1st

Don't want McAvoy, Kid is going to be injury riddled

Adam Fox, currently leading the NCAA with 1.82 ppg (vs. Makar's 1.29) says "Hi".

Impressive. Think he signs with you or goes free agency?

Waddell says Canes talked with him and they're confident he will sign vs. going back to school for his fourth year, but at the end of the day who knows? We can only hope!

 

[GoodbyeLuongo]

The underrating of Dahlen in this thread is hilarious.

 

[DomY]

Any team would do that for Boeser though, so denied, quit acting like Brock is a 28 yr old UFA trade deadline rental.

Oh don't get me wrong, I wouldn't do this trade at all. But there are no defensemen that meet your criteria, and no attractive chips in the Canucks farm (right now). Better to wait for Dahlen to become something, Goldobin and Virtanen to become a "proven top 6 forward" instead of just "promising top 6 forwards," Baertschi to bounce back from his serious concussion, or Boeser to put up 50 goals and you can trade him for a top dman then.

 

[Mike Dukarm]

Dont touch that duo: Boeser and Peterson... Both need each other and Vancouver will rebuild around them

 

[PerryTurnbullfan]

Please don’t trade him into the blues division. Between him in Petterson? Please, send him to another division!

 

[Yatzhee]

Trade Virtanen instead

Virtanen isn't going to land you a top 4 D.
It's pay to play in today's defensemen market.

 

[Siludin]

Trade Virtanen instead

Trade neither. Versatility within the same position (they don't play the same type of game) is harder to defend against. One might hate the idea, but having Virtanen as an option may also improve Boeser's results, even if they never play at the same time. The Canucks' right side is really really dangerous right now.

 

[rynryn]

Boeser should absolutely not be on the block for any reason at all. BB and EP both. keep them and enjoy.

 

[Mcnugesaitl979329]

Im an oilers fan and i can tell you now this could potentially be peter chiarelli posting under the username RonningMorrisonBooth. Sounds a lot like his m.o . draft an incredibly gifted center than trade your best winger. Yup. In all serioisness trading boeser would be a mistake take it from an oilers fan.

I posted this same thread minus the d-man part last year almost exactly to the day and got roasted for it.

Now it looks like the Canucks will have too many top 6 wingers after drafting Kappo Kakko who is projected to go around where VCR will pick.

Kaakko
Dahlen
Virtanen
Goldobin
Leivo
Roussell
Boeser

That’s too many top 9 wingers when the Canucks need help on defence and I think Boeser could bring back the best return out of them.

So which young top 3 defensemen are out there available for Brock Boeser?

That's an incredibly sad list. Only 1 of them is a top 6 winger on a contender.

 

[Bearbait]

Boeser for Buffalo's Scandella?

 

[crowfish]

Boeser for Buffalo's Scandella?

How about no

I'd give you Juulsen, Mete, Ikonen and a 1st for Boeser.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Dear god no.

No no no no no no no no no. No x1000

Sorry m8, terrible idea. Him & Pete are looking like they might be among the top duos for the next decade.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Brock, Bo Horvat & Pettersson (obviously) are the team.

Petersson is the franchise center, Brock is potentially the elite winger alongside him. Horvat is the Bergeron/Kesler/Richards/exc, type.

Don't worry about the trade value, they aren't going anywhere.

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

Scoring at a 43 goal season clip.

Why is Van trading him again ??
