Thread: Canucks Retool
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>West_Virginia_Take_Me_Home</b></div><div>Why the boeser and Pearson trades? I'd rather keep them part of.your future than overpaying for forsberg</div></div>

Its good to know fans in the league see Boeser with alot of value haha! Canucks fans know he's not worth close to his 7.5 mil qualifying offer. I would argue not even 6 mil long term. He is a poor skater, does not use his size (and he's a big strong guy), and is really a very one dimensional complementary player. He cannot create on his own due to his lack of speed and yes has a terrific shot and can finish but that's it. Too many nights he's invisible. Our team is not fast, if he's on a fast team or playing with very fast players who can create room for him, he can be very successful. On the Canucks, we need more from 7.5 mil players, he is just not worth the money. Pearson is to create cap room, and while he's solid, if we can sign Evander Kane (who still wants to play at home) for cheap given his age and history he's a big upgrade on Pearson.

As for Forsberg, he is only 27 (Boeser is 24 going on 25, not much of an age gap), and he's been very consistent in his career. I don't see that as a huge overpayment and he's a major upgrade on Boeser as he is a fantastic skater and can put up numbers just as good or better.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>West_Virginia_Take_Me_Home</b></div><div>Not if you consider your team has no starting goaltender. Binnington might be in a slump but for a start of his career to be considered for a vezina, Conn Smythe, and Calder in the same year and already has a cup to his name. I probably wouldn't be complaining</div></div>

It is an option I’ve toyed around with recently trying to see if there was a way for it to work but I just don’t see how. Current RFAs need to resign nurses large raise coming into effect it’s a very tough deal to work that also carries a very realistic risk that within a year skinner could very well be the starter and oilers just caused themselves the same situation blues are attempting to get out of here. Nothing against him do think right now would and could help but moving forward changes it would cause and force are too dramatic. Interesting idea I personally wouldn’t be against it if it wasn’t for cap implications.
