beat me to it. 57 goals and 117 points in your first 140 games is simply indisputable first line talent at his current value. There's just not a lot of guys who do that over their first couple of years. Meier is the cheapest comparible at 6 mil, but he didn't have Brock's kind of production over two years. He had a breakout deal so they were able to bridge him and get a great value, but he could take them in arbitration and be a young UFA at 27 years old. 3 or 6+ year deal would be good. 3x6.5-7 or 6x8-8.5 something like that would be great

I feel like Brock would like a deal that takes him to UFA. I’m only speculating of course but he may want to go to his home state when he becomes UFA. Only guessing.

Yes, I'd imagine that may be the hold up too. Canucks would like to maintain control. It's too bad, but hopefully they an figure something out soon that's in the middle. 6 years of control is only one year more and seems like a good middle ground, but hard to say where it will go.

With his dad’s unfortunate health issues, I could see it for sure. It would suck but I wouldn’t blame him.

Nor would I. The kid is a media darling. Probably the best character kids in NHL. Minnesota would pay a pirates ransom for him.

likely a sign and retain for a few years before making this deal imo, unless as a GM you think his value will not get higher. I feel like playing with EP and QH on pp1, this will not be the case though.

It’s only going up. He is going to get better and better.

I know it has probably already been bandied about but a Kesler for Eriksson trade? I doubt he plays for us again but he quite possibly is on the IR for the rest of his contract. Could a deal get done?

That's what I think too, but I was just pointing out if you think he will not now may be the time. I certainly don't think that, I think 30g/70points is a conservative estimate of an 82 game year.

I don't know man, Anahiem probably would rather have Kes on the IR than take on LE. Not sure that will ever be tradeable contract.

I think Benning has pretty much on gone record saying that they tried to trade LE this summer and couldn't find a deal so they're bringing him back for 1 more year(hopefully to Utica though).

That is pretty much how I heard him say it, as well.

MDZ got his name engraved


I swear there used to be minimum requirements.

6 regular season games, and not a single playoff game i guess is enough.

Does that automatically put him in The Ring of Honour?

After about a week without much communication, hearing that the dialogue has picked up between the Canucks and Brock Boeser’s camp over the past 24 hours. Who knows where it leads but at least there’s dialogue.

Hopefully he signs this week now that there’s a bit of a market. 6.5 per, maybe?

Hard to just spit out numbers without mentioning a term. Less years = cheaper AAV is usually how it goes for RFA's.

No way in hell you're getting him at 6.5M for 5 or more years.

When there was an attitude issue around LE waivers seemed more likely now it would take stand out play by a fringe player to make that reality.

My guess is Sven and Goldy make the roster. JV or Leivo are the extra forward.

Who has a chance to beat out LE for roster: Motte, Schaeler, MacKewen, Bailey?

Nope, but the occasional gourmet hotdog is nice!! Especially when I’m smashing 18 beers to go with it.
