I feel like it's more of a "Hey, we can't find anything we like, but if you want to go looking, have at 'er!" situation.
I'm not saying that he gets an absolute haul in a trade, and I understand the mentality of clearing up that cap space to make changes moving forward, but I would absolutely not do this if I was Vancouver.
The way I see it the Brock Boeser situation is as the following:
1) Both management and Boeser's side believe that it's time to move on. Management wants cap flexibility out of the trade more than anything.
2) VAN management is basically putting out an on sale sign out there, and saying Boeser can be had for cheap, but it's attracting a lot of interest.
3) They have the agent doing the work basically trying to get the trade and sell them on Boeser.
I think that the Canucks are losing less leverage this way in the deal. So, the result is probably that they free up a ton of cap by trading him without retention and as you said they might even get a decent haul out of it (possibly more than what analysts or fans are expecting).
I don't know much about Sebrango and his value but I'm guessing Vancouver can get an experience UFA (like Suter) + a decent prospect (someone who has somewhat of being a top 6 F or top 4 D) OR a former highly touted prospect that has lost favor/value (
NOT someone like Zadina but
more like LA's Turcotte) + a 2nd or 3rd

Personally, I like the idea of Boeser but, $7m a year is a bit much for player that is seemingly as streaky as he is.
Also, I would expect a corresponding move involving Vrana and/or Bertuzzi if we’re going to add another top 9 winger.
Definitely would require a corresponding move.
There is going to be concern with Boeser's injury history and goal-scoring streakiness which could be related, but there is some consistency in terms of overall production (pace of 60+ pts in almost all seasons). So it's definitely worth exploring a trade if they can get him for cheap especially considering that 60-70 pts a few years back was good for top producer in Detroit for a while. If it doesn't work out he's only got 2-years left anyways.
