Boeser

I would hate to loose Motte but that is a trade i can see happening.fair for both teams .Nice.

@gmgb thoughts?

I don’t see NSH trading Evangelista right now.

And as far as this specific trade is concerned, I don’t see the need for Motte in NSH. So the value he adds to the deal is negated by the fact he’s unnecessary (fine player, but NSH is stacked with bottom 6 forwards)— so remove him and replace Evangelista with someone else. I think that would be closer.

I could see a move for Boeser if Forsberg ends up walking— I wonder if NSH could afford both. However, if Boeser won’t sign for less than his QO, then I think NSH would look elsewhere. Expensive trade price and expensive contract— probably too much for NSH.

Yeh I’d definitely hold on to Evangalista personally. Boeser is a nice piece though. Maybe a trade deadline deal if Nashville feels certain that Forsberg will walk would work out. Get boeser then trade Forsberg and put boeser in Forsbergs spot. I think all in all the Forsberg return would negate much of the acquisition cost of boeser.

I wouldn’t be opposed to it if Forsberg intends to walk— but I have a feeling Poile won’t be able to let him go even if it means losing him for nothing. I could see another Suter-like debacle.
