The Vancouver Canucks have been a hot topic in the NHL rumor mill this season, with J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson frequently mentioned as potential trade candidates. However, another player has quietly emerged as a potential trade chip: Brock Boeser.
Is Brock Boeser the Next Vancouver Canuck Out the Door?
According to Sportsnet’s Ian MacIntyre, Boeser has acknowledged that he could be traded if the team doesn’t turn things around by March 7th. The 27-year-old forward is entering the final year of his contract and is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st.
Boeser’s performance this season has been somewhat underwhelming compared to his career-high 40 goals and 73 points in 2023-24. He currently has 15 goals and 27 points in 37 games. MacIntyre reports that management has been ‘lukewarm’ in their comments about re-signing Boeser, suggesting that a trade could be on the horizon.
Boeser carries a cap hit of $6.65 million this season and has a 10-team no-trade list. This means that the Canucks have some flexibility in finding a suitable trade partner. If they do decide to trade Boeser, they should be able to fetch a good return for him.
What does this mean for the Canucks?
If the Canucks do trade Boeser, it would be a significant loss for the team. He is a talented player and a top-six forward. However, it could also provide them with an opportunity to retool their roster and acquire some young assets.
What are the potential landing spots for Boeser?
There are several teams that could be interested in acquiring Boeser that need some scoring punch. Some potential suitors include the Boston Bruins, Minnesota Wild, Calgary Flames, and the New York Rangers.
