Boeser Trade - Few Teams With Cap Room

Ngl that return seems a bit underwhelming for Boeser, even if you add Eriksson as a cap dump in it.

I believe NJD has other prospects to offer as well or in addition to those listed. Some NJD fans might be more on top of that than me. Trade helps VAN because they could resign Toffoli to replace Boeser and have enough cap room to resign Markstrom, Tanev, Stecher, and add 4-5 good prospects currently on their ELC.

Imo Nucks's prospect pool is good as it is already. They don't really need a load of them more.

What they'd need is a short-term replacement for Boeser if they decide to trade him away.

How about this


Brock Boeser
Loui Eriksson


Nikita Gusev
Michael McLeod
Nate Schnarr
Conditional 2021 1st round pick (TOP 10 protected, turns to 2022 1st rounder if conditions are not met)

There's no need for a 1st if Eriksson is in the deal. And we're already very unlikely to make the postseason in 2021 so if we trade a first it'll be at least top 15 protected.

If Eriksson weren't involved there wouldn't be condition at all. Boeser for a pending UFA and two mid-to-low prospects would be absolutely horrible deal for VAN as it is.
