My verdict

While re-signing Boeser provides risk, there is also a risk in trading Boeser too.

There is a possibility that Boeser shines elsewhere and whatever comes back in return doesn’t live up to expectations or isn’t as good as Boeser.

Boeser isn’t just a goal scorer anymore. While he still can do that, he is also a smart playmaker and there is still more room for growth in his game.

Boeser does need to be more consistent when it comes to goal scoring and there is still lots of room for improvement in his game. When he is scoring, there are few Canucks who can put the puck in the net as he can.

He also still has potential and trading him away could be a mistake and Allvin has to make sure he is getting a return that blows his mind if he does plan on trading him.

If you want my opinion, I say Boeser should stay. Yes, things will be tough with his next contract but let’s hope the new management team and his agent can figure out a reasonable deal for both sides.
