Huh? Of course regardless of need, I'm not trading Quinn Hughes after the season he has had for someone like Boeser. That's not equal value at all. But depending on need I might trade an unproven Dman for a proven 1st line goal scoring winger. Of course the key is unproven. If I think Dobson is a surefire #1 stud Dman then of course I'm not trading him for someone like Boeser. But if I think he's likely to develop into a 2nd pairing Dman then I might trade him for someone like Boeser if the trade makes sense in terms of team needs. It's certainly not poor value to trade an unproven Dman like Dobson for someone like Boeser. Certainly the age different isn't much of a factor.

He got a lot on that shot. Notably, it was a half clapper rather than a wrister. May be the adjustment he needs to make to add some zip to his shot.

Brock’s overall game has really improved, he’s good in board battles and hounds the puck. Plays hard and heavy.

Hopefully this recent game builds up his confidence level and he has himself a great series against Vegas. Im rooting for him heavily.

His play...perplexes me. So he's not injured, because he was on fire yesterday, skating hard everywhere on the backcheck and forecheck.
Is it just a mental thing with him right now? When he's on, he's super noticeable. When he's off his game, he can go entire games being absolutely invisible. I mean, he's still getting points, so I'm not being too hard on him.

There's so much star power now compared to when BB6 joined the team, that's all. His star is as bright as ever

Stumbled along this thread and good gosh I’m sorry for KaprizovEntitlist. He does not speak on our (wild fans) behalf. I couldn’t bring myself to finish reading his posts in this thread but I can only imagine
Yeah because I blatantly said wild aren't trading for wingers which you obviously think they should. Didn't say anything wrong.
All the multiple reports obviously. Never attacked Boeser or anything

Legitimately starting to think moving Boeser for a defenseman might be a solid option for Benning. He came back hot for the bubble and looked like his rookie self but over the last 5-6 games looks like he's struggling once again - it's starting to become a bit of a trend. I think he's an extremely valuable piece and wouldn't desperately move him; But this team needs a stabilizing force in their top 4 D. I know this has been brought up before just thinking I'm agreeing with the idea.

For once I gotta give it to Benning:
Signing Boeser to a long term deal instead of a bridge contract would’ve been disastrous.
I agree that he should be moved for a top 4 D. Better do it soon before everyone else figures out how far he’s fallen as a player.
Not necessarily blaming him either, I believe the injuries really changed the way he plays, permanently.
Problem is that trading a guy when his value is lowest is not smart at all.

Not sure I agree his value is at its lowest. He's on a cost controlled contract with option at the end of the term and despite playing relatively poorly he has flattering offensive numbers.

Way over the top and most likely incorrect. Lost of GM's will listen to offers on a young goal scoring winger.

This.
Using the eye test, he is not contributing nearly as much as the numbers indicate.
We can’t expect him to have similar numbers next season, he benefitted by playing alongside Miller in a career year and Pettersson who is an offensive wizard.
This summer would be a good time to unload him because if he doesn’t get to play on the top like next season, his numbers could easily go down.

He’s widely perceived as a high end top 6 winger signed to a reasonable AAV short term contract. He’s coming off a season where he’s been productive in both the regular season as well as the playoffs. He definitely has value.
The obvious rejoinder is that if he’s so valuable, why don’t we keep him? It’s because we’re dealing a position of strength (top6 F) to address a weakness (Top4 d).
If we can land a top4 youngish minute muncher with decent outlet passing, you got to think long and hard about it. Especially since we have Hoglander and Podkolzin coming up the ranks, who we will need to offset EP’s and QH’s second contracts.
