LA wouldn't.

Take out Boeser and I'd do it

Canucks pass,dont believe everything you hear.Half of it is B.S.IMHO.

I wouldn't be against it. I love Mantha and think he's better than Garland but Lavi refuses to use him properly and I like Garland a lot.

Only way that Van trade would work is if Washington added their 1st this year. Van won’t give up Boeser and garland for a guy who might walk this summer

Pass on taking both back. Highly priced middle 6 wingers are the least valuable thing in the league right now, no reason to exchange one for two (with more term). This wold guarantee Orlov (or another top 4 defenseman in FA) would not be on the roster next year

He has 1 more year on his deal after this.

I'd argue both are top 6 wingers. Galrand is an amazing possession winger who averages over 50 points a season. Boeser has all the ability to hit 40 goals but needs a change of scenerary. Not saying he'll hit it here but very a top 6 player ability as well.

But you do have a point this screws up the defense starting in the summer, unless they move Kuz, which I won't mind if the price is right. I love the dude but he just isn't giving a **** anymore. I'd like to try him to wing.

My bad I thought he was up after this year but still can’t see Vancouver making this trade unless they get a 1st or if it’s just a one for one swap with either of Boeser or garland by themselves.

Makes sense. I'd still do it for one of them.

If it was a one for one swap for one of them it would be a fair deal

more a philosophical point but I think the way the league is going there aren't really "top 6" wingers anymore, but rather top line wingers and middle 6 wingers. Ovechkin is a top line winger, Kaprizov is a top line winger, Meier is a top line winger, Rantanen a top line winger. don't get me wrong averaging 50-60 points a season is good, but increasingly the best run teams are finding wingers off the scrap heap and giving them 1-3m a year to find that scoring -- Sheary, Nichuskin last year, Hagel, Marchment, etc. Once again I like Garland (and Boeser to a lesser extent) just as I like Mantha. They are all fine players. The way the league is being built though you really shouldn't have many of those kinds of salaries on your team. you're either a truly elite player, or someone else can do a similar job but much cheaper.
