Shocking New Name Emerging as Canucks Trade Candidate
The Vancouver Canucks have plenty of names available as the trade deadline approaches on March 6th. Defenseman Tyler Myers was even pulled from the lineup Wednesday night as he considers some trade offers the Canucks have received for him.
Is he willing to move? Well, he is, if there's a fit that makes sense to Boeser and his family. He's a playoff performer, so teams will express some interest.
It should be noted that Boeser never wanted to leave the Canucks last year at the deadline, and signed a new seven-year free agent deal with them ($7.25 million AAV) on July 1st last summer.
Despite Dreger's report, it would shock many around the sport if Boeser is dealt.
I will say this. The chances of Boeser being moved are insanely low. A LOT would have to go right for him to even consider it. For a guy that has spent his whole career here and been through so much to even hear his name come up after signing a 7-year extension tells you a lot.

Canucks reporter Irfaan Gaffar says the chances of Boeser being traded are "insanely low." Boeser has spent his entire 10-year career in Vancouver, and with his new contract having a full no-move clause, "A LOT would have to go right for him to even consider" a move, writes Gaffar.
Boeser, like the rest of the last-place Cancuks, is having a down year, with only 12 goals and 26 points in 51 games. But he has six 20-goal seasons for the team, and that one big 40-goal breakout just two years back. He just celebrated his 29th birthday.
