May the Vancouver Canucks simply accept the cap house and let Brock Boeser stroll?
Sekeres and Value: Jeff Paterson wonders if the Vancouver Canucks might maintain onto pending UFA winger Brock Boeser previous the commerce deadline, and left him stroll to free company and simply accept the added wage cap house.
“This isn’t a revelation. Unrestricted free agent that this common supervisor has questioned up to now. And I don’t get the sense that you simply get to move the center of January, and there actually hasn’t been a lot on the dialogue entrance, by way of an extension.
I feel lots of people can see the place that is in all probability headed, and it’s only a query, do they pull the commerce, pull the set off on commerce and attempt to get one thing from Boeser? Or do you trip it out and hope that he has one other playoff such as you did final yr, and thank him for his companies, and take the cap house that you’d be committing?

And that’s kind of the prize in all of this, from a Canuck standpoint. Certain, you’d love a return on an asset, however I’m not satisfied. I feel we might even see that this, Boeser stays by the commerce deadline. Possibly they double again after the season and provides it one final shot.
However I feel the Canucks have drawn a reasonably agency line within the sand by way of the greenback quantity and the time period that they’re keen to offer him. And as a 28-year-old unrestricted per agent, with a 40 gold season on his resume, you recognize he’s going to receives a commission, and he ought to. Like, you’re employed to those alternatives. If it’s not right here, he’s going to get his cash someplace.
However I do suppose that there’s vital threat concerned for the Vancouver Canucks in locking this participant as much as definitely the max sort of contract. And I don’t even know if that’s on the desk from the Canucks perspective proper now.
So Boeser has, you recognize, I do suppose he loves it right here in Vancouver. It’s all, the one place he’s often known as an expert hockey participant. Talked to (Boeser) about taking his canines for walks out to Pacific Spirit Park and clearing his thoughts and all these sorts of issues. Like he’s a Vancouverite proper now.
However is he going to take a six-year contract at $6.5 million when any individual would possibly have the ability to go seven by $7.5 (million), proper? Prefer it’s a enterprise finally, and he has to do what’s greatest for him.

However how would you are feeling if after 517 video games in a Vancouver Canucks uniform and elements of 9 seasons, to listen to your GM say, “We’re nonetheless evaluating him”?
When you don’t know now, you then don’t know. And that additionally means you’re sort of not getting a dedication from them both. So I feel there’s loads to unpack there.
