Rumor: Dhaliwal- Keeps hearing Habs want Boeser. Claims that Habs have wanted Boeser for a long time, previously offered Romanov.

It looks like a really dumb move for the Habs to make right now.

Not sure why the Habs would make the deal right now. They are still a few years away from realizing real playoff potential.
Why? Boeser is only 25 yrs old and is under contract for 2 more seaosns after this one.

The bubble year was a long time ago, it's not the same GM
Sure new gm. but what about the Pro Scouts? they are the ones usually advising the GM. Are they still around?
There's interest for sure as Dhaliwal says Habs is the team he is hearing most thats intereted in Boeser right now.
Maybe it’s unduly influenced by the number of threads involving the Canucks on this board, but Vancouver media seems super gossipy. It makes Montreal media look tame by comparison!

Rumour from the bubble aside (which has zero relevance to todays team). Boeser makes zero sense for Montreal Montreal has Caufield , Anderson , Gallagher and Armia as right wings signed long term. So unless the deal includes . Gallagher or Armia going the other way I can’t see how they make room for him (both positionally and cap wise )

Benning said no then proceeded to acquire OEL
What a dumb ass organization.
No, Jim Benning is a dumb ass idiot.
Never hire anyone from Boston again.
If they see Boeser as a part of their core, then this is absolutely the perfect time to get him as its been reported that the Canucks are willing to sell low on Boeser just to get cap space.
Boeser is only 25 yrs old. If the Habs can get him for cheap now then why not pull the trigger.

you think it’ll cost the Canucks 2 1sts to unload Boeser eh
Montreal fired their head scout (Trevor Timmins) the same day Bergevin got the ax
Acquisition cost aside. They don’t have space for an underperforming $6.65 m right wing
Because it made sense two years ago not now,
Long term winger contracts
Slafkovsky, Caufield, Anderson, Gallagher potentially even Dach and we know there's interest in Dubois.
Right now the bigger need for the team is a long term 2C to replace money hands when he goes away either at the TDL or end of season unless Dach can take over.
Nevermind the GM and President has changed.

This makes no sense to me...
1) Different management team
2) Different situation: Bergevin built with some thought to the future but a lot to the present, too, so Boeser would've made sense, but now the Habs are in a full-fledged rebuild.
3) Boeser's contract means he'll be a UFA just as the Habs can start to hope to be a regular playoff team (if the rebuild goes well)
4) The only way this could work is if Vancouver wants to take back a pretty bad contract (Gallagher, maybe Armia) or is going to basically give Boeser away for an expiring contract like Dadonov, or maybe for someone Bergevin loved but that new management isn't enamoured with. Still hard to see a fit...

Would Canucks trade Boeser for Romanov today ?
Yes. NYI fans, you heard it here, no take backsies, the value has been set. Romanov + picks for Boeser and a bad contract. Sorry for your luck, blame MTL.

If the Habs were able to dump one of Anderson or Gallagher in a swap for Boeser their GM deserves a statue
Ya, that deal given to Anderson is horrendous. That said, I could see something like Hoffman + 2nd for Boeser.

Totally different era of Habs.
Different management, players & situation (rebuilding vs not rebuilding)

Because it's a poor fit .
I’d rather hold onto the 2nd. Hoffman hasn’t been brutal lately. His contract runs out in 2 years. He’s fine. If we attach a 2nd, I’d rather trade Armia.
