Woof, I have baaaaaad news for you on what you'll be getting for Boeser if that is your bar...

I would move the 2nd for Boeser… that’s about as far as I would go until he learns how to play defense again though

That's just based off of rumours, idk how Holtz has been progressing and I'm assuming Johnsson is a pure cap dump... Boeser is still producing at a 60 point pace and would only cost $4.3M per

I would trade him for a 2nd without retention

There are also reports that the Canucks would need to retain just to get anything for him. Swings both ways, but no way are you getting a top prospect in any shape or form for him.

How about Boeser (no retention) for Johnsson and a 2nd?

Out of those guys I would strongly advise to keep Thatcher Demko.

Pacing for 60 points, but his defense is atrocious enough that he doesn’t provide a positive impact overall on the ice.
Not saying he’s a negative trade value, but trading him now would be selling low

There isn't a player on this roster other than Peterson amd Hughes that you don't get value for..... it's been that big a tire fire.

Frankly, I am of the school.of thought that a 2nd and a decent prospect is fair value for Boeser. AusCanuck is correct in his assertion that he his pacing a 60 point campaign..... and offense is offense. Where is overall style may not suit some systems, a team defensively sound enough could look at Boeser as an option absorbing a deficiency..... will that lead to an improved goal differential? Is so, that usually means more wins.

Looking at a player in a microcosm, although useful, doesn't always mean it won't work in a weird way. The Canucks have been a middling team since Boeser hit the scene. Bad teams generally produce bad individual results. Can we all say Linus Ullmark? (Sorry Sabres fans, but......)

I am no Canucks fan, but this thought process of Boeser getting just a 2nd, even with retention is ridiculous. He has his shortcomings, and will not get a Horvat haul, but, he gets something of some value.

Brock Boeser is bad enough on defense that he contributes more to the other team than his own. Ignoring it doesn’t make it untrue. Paying a 2nd is paying for potential that he can be a positive player once again

This team won’t be competing for the next 5 years so why hang on to him? He will stop the team bottoming out and could return future assets
