Agree with everything said abt Boeser. He isn't a bad player by any means, might be a bit one-dimensional. But, when he's on his game he can be a great 2nd line goal-scoring winger

I think that the canucks would consider that

Im not a supporter or endorsing him, but the flyers without their 1C, 2LW and 1st RD in Ellis are a .500 club, they are playing half the squad under age 25 and they have six defensemen (signed long term or controllable long term salary/cap wise) under 28 yrs old. They have 3 viable goalkeepers under 25 yrs old. Cates, Farabee, Koneckny, Tippett, Frost, allison are a nice mix of youth among current forwards, with some important vet role players like Deslauries and Laughton.

They have brink, foerster, zamula, attard in minors with Gautheir, samson on the way.

Given the injuries and the overall age, being .500 is quite the accomplishment. Add in what theyll get for Braun, MacEwen and JVR at the deadline and they'll have some nice draft capitol. Hayes is on target for a career year at almost a ppg, and that production almost justifies his cap hit. They dont have a crosby or a hedman, but they have a pretty deep group of youth, playing well, with at least two bluechips on the way, even though 3 of their top 9 players haven;t seen the ice this year.
