This is not the first time either as he has been rumoured to be on the move for the last two off-seasons. But this time things can get tricky on how it can get done. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Hurdle To Moving Brock Boeser<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For a guy that could have been moved a while ago sounds like poor asset management. The fact the team would have to get creative and potentially retain money is significant. Vancouver has just signed Boeser to a three-year deal with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capfriendly.com\/search?s=Brock+boeser\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cap hit<\/a> of $6.65 million per season. It will be interesting how they can move him and the creativity at hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Who Would Be Interested <\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Throughout his career, Boeser has scored 20+ goals in all but one season. He is not known for driving possession but can finish. However, Boeser is off to the worst season in his career, as he has only scored nine goals, 17 assists, and 26 points. His value isn&#8217;t nearly as high as it once was, but he could boost plenty of teams looking for scoring. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A team like the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/islanders\/\" target=\"_self\">New York Islanders<\/a>, who have been searching for a winger to play with Mat Barzal for ages, or the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/wild\/\" target=\"_self\">Minnesota Wild<\/a>, who could use a boost in their top six. The good part is, Boeser has term, so this is not a rental situation and perfect for a team needing the boost. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"oaiBuanGRXN5W9eoi_hcoA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1246265088\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'oaiBuanGRXN5W9eoi_hcoA',sig:'-qdu0U0QQSS_wZTYtQAOIQ4w0rhWcj-9yQYeIAapZKQ=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1246265088',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All eyes are set on the Vancouver Canucks.
