It takes 8-9 defensemen to go on a legit playoff run anyway. All teams should have interest since they WILL deal with injuries.

They won’t have interest cause of his contract.

Sure they will. The cap is going up next season, and he's not that expensive for a middle-pair defender.

What? I think you are forgetting context.

In the bubble season, Boeser had 23 goals and 49 points in 56 games. To put that into context, he would have led the Canadiens in points that year. Last year crazy enough, despite his father dying and him having a down year, he had more points than everybody on the Canadiens not named Suzuki.

2020-2022

46 goals, 95 points, 127 games

That averages to 30 goals/82 games, and 61 points/82 games. That is better than anybody on the Canadiens in that time period. Mind you, Boeser's dad was dealing with a lot of diseases which harmed Boeser's mental wellness meaning he wasn't even playing at 100%. Despite that, he was better than every single Montreal Canadien. Perhaps do some actual research ebfore you make such a comment

Thanks for your opinion sir. It's refreshing to hear a defence of a goal scorer who has not scored a single goal this year. Let me review to make sure I understand your perspective:

1) He's a 30-goal who has never actually scored 30 goals in a season
2) He's a 60+ points guy who has never actually scored 60+ points in a season
3) There are mitigating circumstances (READS AS: legitimate excuses) regarding why he's never hit any of the benchmarks I am supposed to measure him by

Genuinely confused over here... are we talking about Brock Boeser or Josh Anderson right now?

^ That's just a little joke ^

To me he seems like a decent 2nd line winger. I offered a decent middle pair defensemen. I added another player because the cap needs to balance in these deals, at least until the offseason, and based on Vancouver's terrible defensive play, they could use a defensive forward.

Thanks again for your response and for shedding light on all the context. If you have any info about what he had for breakfast on most game days I'd also like to know that?

Well the stats I brought up are a whole lot more convincing than saying he averages 23 goals a season and not take into account the fact that neither were full 82 game seasons. Your second argument is that he has no goals this year. He has played 8 games. Lets relax a bit. Josh Anderson at his best is basically Boeser at his worst (Anderson career 47 points, Boeser career low 45 points). The rest of this offer is pathetic. We don't need more LHD, especially not ones that are almost 30 and expriring UFA. Armia is also a cap dump. We don't need more fourth liners

The players on the Canucks missed a pretty good game last night. Seemed to me they could use all the defensive help they could get. How the hell did Gallagher get to Demko? That should NEVER happen.

If we want a defense man , we don’t have to give up a superior player to get one. We got Ethan Bear for a fifth round pick

He’s third pair on a good team. Second on a bad one.
