Draft Floor Trade

Well, that's an OS valuation of ~6.2-8.2M and I don't see anybody actually offering him that based on his performance this year.

This might actually be an interesting story to watch. If VAN can't come to terms to Boeser, what if they simply don't qualify him and release him to show him that he's not going to get what he wants in the market?

The habs would say no on a couple fronts.

The most obvious one is the team construction. To put it bluntly the habs cant afford another very expensive winger. Boeser will probably cost between 7-8 million to sign. The habs have to pay caufield in a year and already have a lot of money tied up in the wings especially RW. He doesnt fit a need.

The second is whjat has been reported on him character wise. Theres been a few reports now he is a toxic player (which would explain the lack of a long term deal and them trying to trade him). The habs have a really nice young super positive group in suzuki caufield romanov and it might not be wise to have someone who could potentially come in and skew that dynamic.

Habs already have reported interest in Boeser. This is according to multiple sources. They can also sign him to a 1 year prove it deal at 7.5 million. That would not affect Caufield negotiations in 2023.

That was Pagnotta who is not a credible habs insider.

Doubt Canucks would ever let him just walk. That would be a huge blunder given his talent level. Ya he’s not worth $7+ but he’s still a 20-30G scorer
