Don't see how they get a better return than this. Boeser rep is bad rn with pundits saying money needs to go back and the return is "minimal" He's never scored more than 29 goals in a year despite amazing deployment. Mikheyev and Kuzmenko have outperformed him. He's got 4 goals this season for a 1 dimensional goal scorer that is quite bad.
Lucic waives as he's looking for a new contract. He is much more like to get a deal in Vancouver as a depth option and he goes home!

Canucks get that cap room to extend Horvat. This is the idea that is pushing Vancouver to trade Boeser fast. Yes, they are desperately trying to move money rn

The best part of a quick Boeser trade is that you can move Garland up to play with Petey who's on a 103 point pace and is shown he's that elite player. Garland is traded at the TDL to the Bruins, who are making another run. Garland's style of play would mesh well in the Bruins bottom 6 with so many having a renaissance like Nick Foligno
