Nuke won't waive for Vancouver and Nuke is the overall better player so, Avs pass.

If the Canucks moved Boeser I doubt it would be for another winger, even though Nichushkin is the better player. But after what happened in the playoffs I’m not sure if they’d have interest in him (idk if there’s been any updates that I’ve missed about his situation or not)

i wouldn't mind boeser, i think he has a scoring touch but nichuskin provides much more for less money. i do think however boeser and nichuskin on our 2nd line would score lots, but have fun making that cap work

nuke >>>>> boeser.

Too many years left on Nuke's deal. Canucks will finally come out of cap challenges after this season with multiple expiring deals. Boeser's expiry is also lined up with Kuzmenko so no way they ruin that with Nuke's deal. Not to mention guys like Podkolzin, Klimovich and Lekkerimaki will be looked at to step up vs nuking their cap again.

No

even though nichushkin's better, he is two years older with significantly more term. Boeser's contract fits in really well with vancouvers current expiry structure and provides a ton of flexibility.

not sure van would do this

update/no update is pretty much business as usual. Nuke is famous for avoiding reporters, so no explanation is expected. He seems to be doing well & will be ready for the season. There was an IG post of him next to a luxury car, wearing his Cup ring, & holding an AK47 that irked some fans. But that's kinda how he's always been, def a Gucci type of guy.

Sure. My thought is, as they look to become contenders, they might like some cost certainty, rather than overpaying Boeser or simply losing him for nothing or non-roster assets. What do we think about Boeser earning $7m+ on his next deal???

being able to allow brock to walk away adn replace him with some one younger should be viewed as a benefit, not a detraction.

look at the way tampa has been able to turn over its roster and extend young players by allowing guys to move on as free agents. killorn, palat, cole, rutta, coleman, goodrow all walk as free agents, plus tyler johnson, yanni gourde, and ryan mcdonogh all let go as well. this has allowed them to extend point, sergachev, cirelli, cernal, and now hagel as well. core players, like kucherov, stamkos, hedman, vasilevsky, all get paid. but supplemental guys need to be replaced regularly. guys like boeser, garland, mikheyev, kuzmenko, cole, soucey, beavillier, etc. all need to be viewed this way by van. players who do the job now and then are replaced later by younger players on cheaper deals.
