Six potential trade destinations for the Vancouver Canucks' Brock Boeser

Brock Boeser and agent Ben Hankinson have been granted permission by the Vancouver Canucks to find a trade. Bekero is in his sixth full NHL season and has scored just four goals in 21 games this season. He has a $6.65 million cap hit and is a good value for a two-year contract extension. Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames, or other potential destinations are the most likely landing spots. The Canucks are struggling to compete in the Pacific Division and want to clear cap space. They are also short on players. Bo Horvat is also a pending free agent. Vancouver is loath to retain any of his salary in a deal.

Jason Robertson's breakthrough into superstardom has changed the Dallas Stars' identity. The likes of Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn are the bit players now. Dallas has stocked up their farm system with some nice steals in recent seasons. GM Jim Nill has been rumored to be chasing another top-six forward. Denis Gurianov is a pending RFA and has just one goal in 19 games.

Brock Boeser is being looked for a new home. Minnesota Wild are interested in signing him. Matt Dumba is a pending UFA and could be traded to Vancouver. He has a 10-team no-trade list. He is from Burnsville, Minnesota. The Wild have a cap hit of $12.74 million right now. It goes up to $14.4 million in 2023-24 and 2024-25.

Brock Boeser's name has been mentioned in the trade rumors before. New Jersey Devils are an elite Stanley Cup contender and could see Brieser as a piece to put them over the top. They view Alexander Holtz as long-term PP1 trigger man. Devils would need to send salary in a Bueser deal but have plenty of mid-range, top-nine forwards they could include.

Islanders are holding down a playoff spot. They are also scoring more after switching head coaches. Canucks want to move Boeser and Beauvillier. Beauvilleier's contract is worth $4.15 million AAV through 2023-24. The Canucks are looking for a consistent scorer. New York Islanders are in the playoff position.

Brock Boeser is a winger for the Vancouver Canucks. New York Rangers need a marquee right winger. Rangers have more than $17 million to spend on their RFAs. They have been linked to Patrick Kane and Artemi Panarin. They also have new contracts for K’Andre Miller and forwards Lafreniere, Kakko, Kravtsov and Filip Chytil.

Before joining the Canucks, Rutherford won two Stanley Cups with the Penguins. Rutherford is still in a ride-or-die mode with Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and co. Jason Zucker and his $5.5 million AAV would give the Pens major cap relief to facilitate a Boeser deal.

Kasperi Kapanen is a player who could be traded. Rutherford traded Kapen in 2016 and reacquired him in 2020.
