Former first round pick expected to be traded very soon
The NHL Trade Deadline is scheduled for March 3rd, but teams have already begun to get a jump on things. Last week the Vancouver Canucks traded Bo Horvat to the New York Islanders for Anthony Beauvillier, Aatu Raty and a conditional 1st round pick. Now it appears General Manager Patrik Alvin has another move on the horizon.
According to David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period, trade talks have heated up over the last few days for former 1st round pick Brock Boeser. Boeser, who lost his father last year, is in search of a fresh start away from the Canucks.
Boeser, now 25, is in year 1 of a 3 year deal that pays him $6,650,000 per season. In 41 games this season Boeser has just 30 points, including 9 goals. According to Pagnotta, the Minnesota Wild, New Jersey Devils and Washington Capitals have all shown varying levels of interest in the young scoring winger. The Canucks, will need to likely retain salary in any deal involving Boeser, due to the salary cap.
If done right the Canucks could really set themselves up for a bright future if they handle this trade deadline properly.
