Pens can’t afford Boeser this year, even with taking back Kappy. And definitely can’t afford his 7.5M QO next season. Kappy’s QO is just 875K. But he has arbitration rights. He will make less than this seasons 3.2M though. I would say 2.25-2.8M.
The only way I see Boeser and his contract(and his 7.5M QO next season) getting trading is to a rebuilding team or the Rangers. Most all contenders can’t afford him unless Vancouver takes back salary. And GM JR wants to shed cap space; not take salary back.
I can see the Rangers trading their 1st round pick and Nils Lundkvist for Boeser. Or maybe V.Kravtov and their 1st. But it seems like no teams/GMs are interested in Kravtov; NYR have been trying to trade him all season.
If Vancouver got NYR’s mid to late 1st round pick(probably mid 1st..lol) and Nils Lundkvist for Boeser that would be a good get. They get all that cap space, plus a RHD prospect that is NHL ready, plus a 1st round pick(16-20 I’d say).
