These are all bad for everyone not NYI , however that Vancouver one oooof. Let me see if I am getting it right... You expect Vancouver to retain nearly $10,000,000 and give up 3 years of Boeser while taking on $4,000,000 more in cap of Beauvillier for a guy you said doesn't have much value and a 5 really? Wow this is awful!!

Canucks pass. You want us to retain 50% on Boeser and take on 4 million dollar Beau? 0 reason to do that

Canucks pass, we won't retain on a Boeser deal, Boeser at 50% is also worth more

Vancouver has zero incentive to do this.
Boeser obviously needs a change of scenery and this deal gets him off of the roster. Then they get a top 4 point scorer in the OHL (as a DY+2 but still valuable) and then a late pick as they start the rebuild.
I get it if the retention is too much, but the cap for the canucks in this deal frees up: -1 mil (22-23 season), -1 mil (23-24 season), +3 mil (24-25 )from otherwise not making this deal. This is a year and a half of negative to free up some more for once they get around to the other side of the rebuild. If you would feel better getting down to 2 mil retention or so then sure, but the idea of retention definitely helps this team. Plus, its not like this offseason is going to be a big spending spree for the Canucks, so adding 1 mil in cap for next season doesnt mean much. Plus, Beau makes considerably less than Boeser so he is another asset who can be flipped at the 2024 TDL for solid value. Canucks can double dip instead of sucking it up with Boeser for another 2.5 years.
I really dont think this is all too far off. I dont value Maggio all too high, but he is a solid B-, mid to high upside piece to start a rebuild with. Maggio's profile slots in at a middle six scoring forward with offensive upside with an eta of 2 or so years, perfect to slot in as a cheap asset once the Canucks free up some cap.
Again, if retention goes down to like 2 mil then sure idc, but the idea is very close in value. NHL GMs do not value retention as much as people on here think they do, and history proves that
