Sprong to the devils

That's true enough Corn. It's just such a bummer following this team.

$13.5 in cap space left on the table by the stable geniuses. LOL.

How did he throw Brock under the bus?

Said no one was willing to pay the cost for Boeser and they could not get a deal done. Basically telling his agent he couldn’t be moved for a return that Canucks could accept.

Well he said there was no interest in him with him going into UFA. That's he's not worth much. Why say anything?

I'm certain they were offered a first. No way they weren't.

Source?

Oh come on Wids. Look at the evidence. It was a seller's market for gawd.s sake. Let's at least be straight with each other, the team bu;llshitting us is bad enough.

Still doesn’t prove they turned down a first. Let’s be honest with each other. Canucks didn’t want picks and prospects. Made it known they wanted roster player(s) so they could still compete.

Neither you nor I know what was on the table. So your guess is as good as mine. But I simply don’t buy that they turned down a 1st or any other good trade. I believe him he got offered less and that that return would inhibit our ability to make the playoffs. This was all about still making the playoffs and they felt they were better suited to do that than take any return they were being offered. This is where it is fucked up. Boston just unloaded a shitload because they can read the tea leaves. So ya, maybe that part is ownership saying playoffs or your job. This is my frustration.

We always seem to fail to move out players when other teams can move on.

Well let's disagree then, I can't believe they weren't offered anything worth trading for. He's a better hockey player than Anthony Beauvillier in my very humble opinion.The rest of your post hits the target square. Ownership wants the two gates.I used to do schtick about this stuff with Frankie, I know the drill

So let’s say you are the Vancouver Canucks. You are in the mix. You want to add Brock Boeser. Would you be happy the team paid a first and a good prospect or a 1st and a roster player? Maybe Lekkermaki or Hoglander? Is that a deal you would like?

The GM I like is Sakic. He moves out players before losing them to FA.

Well, we don't know what the offers were. The only comments about Brock that I heard was: "I spoke with his agent last night and told him that this could happen that no deal would be made" and "If I told you what I was offered for Brock Boeser I would have to run out of here because you would not believe me."

You can interpret this a few different ways I suppose.....

1. Boeser has no value and nobody wants him.

2. The Canucks consider Boeser's value to be high and will continue to pursue an extension rather than move him for pennies on the dollar.

3. The Canucks want to keep Brock and so they turned down offers and spun this to try and leverage a lower AAV out of Boeser's camp in extension negotiations.

The best way for the Canucks to have approached this though would have been to say that there were inquires about Brock but that the organization prefers to keep Boeser a Canuck and were only listening in case someone absolutely blew their doors off with an offer that nobody could say no to. That would have been the best way to butter up the player.

It's too bad Sakic isn't a GM.

I think he fetches a late first as I said before. The overwhelming consensus is that Allvin is lying and the Cabnucks must have turned down decent offers for Suter and Boeser. But none us were in the war room drinking coffee and eating potato chips with the braintrust as you said so they do have a degree of deniability even if it isn't very plausible.
