Buy a good product, that fulfills an unmet need, at low price.

The Athletic Canucks reporter said today “Given how difficult it’s been for teams to move wingers with cash on their deals (think back to how the Vegas Golden Knights simply gave away Max Pacioretty this summer to Carolina), the Canucks might have to pay a team to get rid of Boeser. They’d certainly be selling him for pennies on the dollar.”

If true, it presents a good buying opportunity for NJD if they can get that salary down a bit. His buyout is $2.2m, so maybe retention would be capped at that number. But still, at $4.4m x 2, it is worth the risk considering his strength, scoring in close, is our biggest need. And a change a scenery might do him some good.

Canucks choice of Walsh or McCarthy.
