Need at least one of NJ’s first, L. Hughes or Holtz to be the main piece coming back
This is just fantasy land though. They are all worth more than Boeser at this point, especially without a contract.
All of the rumors to date fall in line with most people expectations (including many VAN fans) that it would be Zacha, prospect, non-1st pick. I had posted a summary of many recent
Boeser to NJD trades that were sent by VAN fans. It’s a wide range, but that is the type of menu VAN would be choosing from.
So the question becomes what sort of prospect fills a need for Vancouver. Some have said physical RD, some have said right-shot Center, some have said straight picks.
I added Case McCarthy, a physical two-way RD who has experience playing with some offensive LD (Fensore, Farrance, York) and had success. I also added Graeme Clarke whose skillset is probably somewhat similar to Boesers stylistically. Could be a Boeser-lite someday if he stays healthy. Other options I considered: Fabian Zetterlund, Nate Schnarr, Reilly Walsh (although we’d prefer to keep him), Nikita Okhotiuk. All of these names would be top-5 guys in Vancouver’s prospect pool (some top-3 and Walsh would be #1).
