The Vancouver Canucks fire sale has big names available
Several of the Vancouver Canucks players have been involved in trade speculation since the end of their season.
Its reported that they're looking to move forwards Tanner Pearson, Conor Garland and Jason Dickinson. The club is expected to reach out to former all-star defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larrson to see if he's willing waive his no movement clause.
Most notably, the Canucks are shopping forwards Brock Boeser and J.T. Miller.
Miller, 29, is coming off a season of 32 goals and 67 assists for 99 points. A career-best in all three categories. His contract with a cap hit of $5.25 million expires after the 2022-23 season.
The 25-year-old Boeser is currently an RFA with arbitration rights who will cost $7.5 million for the Canucks to qualify. The consistent 20-goal scorer had a rough 2021-22 campaign. As the winger suffered an injury, a bout with COVID-19 and a his father's failing health limited him to 23 goals and 46 points in 71 games this season.
TSN's Darren Dreger reported the Canucks are willing to entertain trade offers for Miller and Boeser. He noted they're not just interested in draft picks but also good young players in return.
As per Vancouver radio station Donnie and Dahli:
Miller would be a perfect number one or two centre that the Boston Bruins desperately need for next season.
