Idk about Boeser having a better shot since Nylander has an amazing shot especially after Boeser's injury. Nylander is also RHDed. The difference in speed wouldn't be worth the drop off.

I would imagine Boeser's production would drop (unless he xan get faster) as a Leaf since the system relies on being able to skate, and having Tavares + Boeser on a line wouldn't be great.

A lot seem to think that getting Beauvillier and another pick is better because they think Vancouver would still be bad which I doubt, best case scenario is probably that the Leafs are drafting 10-15 and likely aren't getting thst RHD they are dreaming of.

That's fair. Definitely a lot analytics don't say. I admittedly haven't seen him play more than 20 games.

Boeser has a way way better shot.

He has 3 seasons with a shooting percentage higher than 16% Matthews has done it 4 times, Nylander has never done it.

He's been getting about 200 shots a year on the Canucks. Nylander and Matthews both get around 300 on the Leafs. (obviously partly to do with their own playdriving ability).

If being on the Leafs can get Boeser to 300 shots at a 16% scoring rate that's 48 goals.

Again lots of assumptions. Just saying he'd be an interesting player to see on Toronto.

Canucks have no business throwing big assets for a pending UFA winger. They literally traded their captain because he wanted a lot of money. Nylander is even more money hungry

If we can get Nylander on a deal around 9M or ideally less, then this has legs.

The dream RHD is needed now so my idea is they flip the pick ASAP.

I’ve seen less and I did see some of what the analytics point to…at times he looks like the next Holl but at times the next Trouba.

Boeser hasn't come anywhere close to 16% in the last two seasons, he's looked like a whole different player. You missed my edit but like I said especially after injuring his hand, I would really question it. I would say his shooting has gotten worse over the years, while Nylander's accuracy has improved.

Just for the record, Boeser really only has 2-seasons of 16% shooting percentage, he definitely was capable of shooting at that high percentage early on in his career but I wouldn't really count 9 games. Nylander does have a 15.7% season with a high shot total as well.

I do get where your head is at with the Leafs getting Boeser, but somehow I doubt he will be utilized that way (maybe he will get fed looks when he's considered the new guy) just based on how Nylander wasn't really prioritized as the 2nd option on the PP. That being said Leafs do have a new PP coach, so you're right there are a lot of assumptions to be made. My biggest concern though would be Boeser's 5v5 production if he can't find his legs again.


Edit: Considering that Nylander's playoff shooting percentage is better than Matthews', I don't think they get better by removing the guy who's been getting them goals to improve their post-season production.

Canucks have to much money committed to the wings already so I cant seem them being interested, if their going to spend it would/should be on centers or defense. Value is more than fair though.

Who's available though? Probably no one who is worth having that drop-off up front.

Even with a bad year, as long as he's their 1 or 2-point forward producer with around PPG production, he should be able to easily command 10.75M+ on a long-term deal just because he's their 1C and you have guys like Mikheyev and Garland making ~5M for 50pts or less. I would say the bare minimum is the Aho deal + 1M (Vancouver premium).

Stamkos.

Unless you're multiple goals up in the cup clinching game it is always time to experiment.

It's a great move for Vancouver if they want to try and retain Petterson, it's a great move for the leafs if they don't want to lose Nylander for nothing..

A rumor when they mattered was when an actual insider had information about a potential trade. Made up nonsense isn't a rumor it's speculation and idle chit chat.

And yes you can score 20 and not be good. When you can't skate and are horrible defensively you can cost your team more than you help them. That's Boeser

If you play Boeser with anyone on TO, he's at centre ice while the rest of the team is already in their zone trying to attack while their pylon linemates is too slow to get into position.

Toronto plays a fast pace game, Boeser has no pace.

And once again you are trying to argue that Boeser has a better shot than Willy but has never had a 30 goal season and Willy is coming off a 40 goal season. Oh yeah and 4 goals in 17 playoff games. Stop trying to justify this nonsense

Boeser is not underrated. Vancouver literally can't move him without a sweetener this has been widely reported. He can't skate and is an empty calorie scorer. Rides coattails

The thing no one seems to understand is our top 6 is so good because we have 3 guys that are crazy good at getting the puck up ice under control. Marner and Matthews are good at it but Nylander is one of the best in the game. Losing him massively damages our depth. JT would suffer big time.

And better

Still a 60 point guy on a non playoff team🤷‍♂️. Cry about how bad he is, but you prove my point that he’s underrated

A 60 point guy riding coattails while being terrible defensively. He's Vancouver's problem

No you are overrated him based off points while ignoring everything else he lacks.

Points don’t cone without talent. Everyone is hating on a half decent player

Half decent when riding shotgun to Petterson. Only scored 18 goals last year. He offers no transition play, no defensive play and no pace due to his poor skating. Where does that fit in TO? At the expense of Nylander? And costs more than 6 million a year? This weakens the team and now they have 6+ million in dead cap.

This is a garbage trade.

Still not worth it for a winger
