Testing Water on Boeser Trade

No chance VAN takes that imo. There's just nothing interesting in that package, just a bunch of mid-level assets and a pending UFA.

A bunch of garbage doesn't get you Boeser

Fabbri is a decent middle 6 guy, better suited for 3rd line. Can be re-signed, but keep in mind that Boeser is coming without a contract for next year also.
Lindstrom is going to be a decent NHL dman, but of course not a star.
Tuo is a good prospect. Good potential to become middle pairing.

Sure, none of those guys are Boeser, but why would I send a Boeser equivalent plus more? The idea behind this is sending a two pieces that will provide solid depth and a couple futures for a guy that likely forces a trade or a big contract that VAN can't afford after EP & Hughes.

Here's the thing - no team is going to move their star players for "decent middle-6 guys" and what if -projects of lower potential. They want something far sweeter than that. You haven't sent anything even close to Boeser equivalent here. Just a bit earlier there was a NYI fan who suggested trading Dobson+1st+2nd for Boeser. That's a gross overpayment, but still lot closer than this.

Nucks might be forced to move the guy due to monetary reasons, but should Detroit be after the guy the bare minimum they should offer is Veleno+2022 1st, and then start the discussions from that.

I wouldn't hate moving Veleno or Ras, but I didn't include them because VAN has plenty of C depth in EP, Horvat, and Miller.

Also, DET won't give up a likely top 10 pick for a winger when their biggest need is a C. Just thought I'd test the waters.
