Kravtsov isn't good enough for the NHL that's why he signed a 2 year deal in the KHL, Hirose isn't getting 2+ if he is it would be longer term than 2 years, he is most likely getting below 1.25 for 2, and personally I'd rather trade Beauvillier over garland.

I;d do that if I were Pittsburgh. We have a ton of RD and could use a winger like Garland.

That’s an overpay for Boeser and WSH certainly doesn’t want him bad enough to overpay. Take out Lapierre and it might be closer.

Some pretty good thoughts on the trades. Not sure if Boesner is worth that, but maybe some team does.

Without Lapierre it would be robbery.

It’s a mid 2nd rounder and a 4th line player for a guy who can score goals if you take out Lapierre. Someone would have to fill the void because a mid 2nd and a 4th liner isn’t enough for a 30 goal scorer under contract for 2 more years. (I forgot he missed 30 and his career high is 29).

Boeser is a 55PT, PowerPlay-Dependent, defensively irresponsible, complimentary Winger making $6.5M for two seasons. He’s an utterly replaceable player and the Caps 2nd is 40th Overall. As the Capitals, I honestly wouldn’t even trade that 2nd for Boeser at his current contract. In absolutely no way is it robbery, that’s stupid and uninformed.

The trouble with trading mid to high price players, in this case 6.6m Boesner, the Caps just might think they can do better on UFA market without giving up assets. It's difficult making these trade unless there is a change of cap. So I kinda agree with Kuzbakov....maybe it's deal without Lapierre.

The 40th overall pick has about a 19% chance of playing 300 or more NHL games. Boeser has played 398 games and has 311 points. Roughly 81% of drafted players will never reach 300 nhl games. Half of them don’t even play in the NHL. You’re sending a 4th liner and a guy who has almost no chance of being as good as Boeser in return for a proven 2nd line winger.

Wings pass on this hardcore. Canucks add in multiple picks for us to take Myers off your hand or you can remain salary cap issues and have bad players

I’m good with taking the chance that a 40th Overall Pick (on an Entry Level Contract) can become at a minimum as good as Brock Boeser (398 Games, 7 Years) at this stage of his career making $6.5M for two seasons as a maximum 55PT, complimentary winger. The Caps are not at a point where Boeser’s proven mediocre production outweighs the chance to draft and develop talent.

From your avatar you’re a Habs fan. Should the Habs trade their 2nd for Boeser? By all means, go right ahead.

Yeah the Caps are rebuilding, the 40th Overall Pick certainly has more value to them than Boeser. A team that isn’t rebuilding probably doesn’t have a pick in the Top 10. You fundamentally misunderstand what the Capitals current position is. The fact that Boeser is a PP-dependent Winger being proposed to a team with the best PP Scoring Winger of his generation should tell you all you need to know. Boeser has less value to the Caps than practically any other team in the League. The Caps will rebuild while making smart roster upgrades to improve. Trading a premium future for Boeser is not a smart upgrade.

Well if they’re rebuilding I’d assume players like Backstrom, Carlson, and Wilson are on the trade block. I’ve never read a source that says the Caps are heading into a rebuild. I know they are looking to play some of their younger players and they did go with a young coach but a full rebuild has not been reported by any source I’ve seen.

Whether the Caps are going into a full rebuild or not is immaterial. At the position they’re in they’re no going to be true contenders and Boeser isn’t a player they’d be looking to add. They have stated as an organization that they need to get younger. In that scenario they are not trading decent value Draft Capital for midling value vets with a history of failing to live up to their contracts. There is no question that at 55PTs for $6.5M there are cheaper players that can provide exactly what Boeser does and more. Dylan Strome is an unquestionably better player at a more important position and just re-signed with the Capitals for $1.5M less than Boeser makes. No team trades high-value futures for overpaid vets in the situation Washington is currently in, that is not up for debate.

I can see the Caps being interested in Boeser but not at that price (and similarly with PIT and Garland). The problem for Vancouver is that highly paid complimentary wingers -- even good ones -- hold very little value in the league right now especially when they have multiple years left on their deals. I would think any potential Boeser trade return would be closer to what Bjorkstrand got CBJ last summer than a very good pick (which is what 40oa is in this draft) and a top prospect. As others have said, the proposed deal without Lapierre makes a lot of sense.
