With Tocchet as the bench boss, it seemed as if Boeser had turned over a new leaf, as he was one of the most productive forward in the season's last stretch. Now, TSN Insider Pierre Lebrun confirmed that the Canucks have also made their feelings clear to other teams:
Boeser was often pointed out as one of the pieces the Canucks meant to use as a salary dump, and the latest report clearly shows the team's state of mind regarding their forward. Here's what Lebrun reported on the subject:
It gives the impression that the Canucks have decided that Brock Boeser wouldn't be the piece they sacrifice. OEL, Myers, Garland, and Boeser were the main names involved in those talks, and it's good that Boeser is out since he has the most chances of having a bounce-back season that could've hurt the Nucks.
