ESPN Analyst Proposes a One-For-One Trade Sending Brock Boeser to the East
An ESPN analyst proposed a one-for-one trade sending the Vancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser to the Eastern Conference.
For a while now, whenever we've talked about the Vancouver Canucks, it was to address the alleged feud between Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller.
Ever since rumors of tension between the two stars emerged, a lot of trade speculation circulated.
While the Canucks appear poised to make a move involving either Pettersson or Miller, ESPN analyst Rachel Doerrie revealed that the upcoming free agent Brock Boeser could end up being the one to get traded by the deadline.
According to her, both the New York Rangers and the Buffalo Sabres could be interested in acquiring Boeser.
She stated that the Rangers could offer their young defenseman K'Andre Miller for the forward and that the Sabres could send their defenseman Bowen Byram .
The Canucks seem to be in the market to add a defenseman to their lineup. If they want to get someone who'll be able to help the team achieve its goals, management will need to part ways with a significant asset.
Boeser, 27, tallies 22 points in 27 games this season and has a -5 rating. He had the best season of his career last year, scoring 40 goals and 33 assists with the Canucks.
There's no doubt that he'll be an asset for any team lucky enough to be able to count on him for many years to come. That's why the Canucks wouldn't let him go without a fair return.
Both Miller and Byram have a lot of potential. They are promising players that will have an impact in the NHL for a long time.
The Sabres and the Rangers have been struggling this season. The two teams are at the bottom of their respective divisions, and adding Boeser to their lineup could help them bounce back from their tough first half of the season.
