Booth’s Only Got One Goal, Two Assists
David Booth is a player that is on the hotseat and he’s only produced one goal and two assists in ten games.
Not only has his point totals been low, but we haven’t seen much from him offensively in terms of chances or physically.
We haven’t seen him go end-to-end and make a ‘power’ move cutting to the net that we have seen in the past. Perhaps a move to right wing (where has played his best hockey) will ignite him.
Booth was a candidate to be bought out this past summer, but the Canucks could not because he was injured. With one year left with a $4.75 million salary and $4.25 million cap hit, the Canucks could do it this offseason if he doesn’t pick up his game.
