That was Addison in my proposal. 22 year RHD. Leads all rookie defenders with 21 points in 39 games.
He’s going to be the guy moving up next year and handling some of the stuff Dumba (pending UFA) has been doing.
Definitely not going to consider trading Boldy. He was nearly ppg last season as a 20 year old rookie coming back from injury later in the season. This year he is playing on an island with Gaudreau and a mix of AHLers/4th liners (and most recently Hartman has returned). If Fiala was still here, they’d both be over ppg. How that is comparable to Tuch at 24 with 33 points in 55 games is certainly something.
Boldy+Ohgren+1st+2nd+Greenway is an insane package. I’d shoot for a better center that wins at least 50% of their faceoffs if I’m offering that.
Addison is a 22 yr old, undersized, rookie whos been given the perfect opportunity to be a PP QB. He's playing third pair minutes for a reason. Maybe you have a higher opinion (what do you think he'll become?) but I don't really see him becoming a top 3 dman.
Boldy has a slightly better pedigree than Tuch did I'll give you that. I will say anyone who watched Tuch consistently could see despite him being on the 3rd line in Vegas he was going to be a top line winger. He was the best player on the team on any given night.
It's a big offer no doubt but you are getting a guaranteed all star level center in his prime yrs. Who's better than Pettersson honestly? That's even remotely available that is? He has a better PPG than Kaprizov.
I can't think of a single player. In terms of value as a Center here are some names ahead of him McDavid, MacKinnon, Matthews, Jack Hughes, Tage, Barkov, then youre into the Pettersson group.
Think of it from the Canucks perspective. You are trading an all star center, who is likely a top 5 MVP vote guy in the next few yrs for a good young player in Boldy and two mid to late 1st round picks that you are hoping are 2nd line players but no guarantees they even make the league in any meaningful way? It's a decent trade for a rebuilding team but not a homerun by any means.
