Back injuries might have robbed us of what Brock Boeser should have been.
The Canucks sniper has a reputation as a pure goal-scorer and has yet never reached the 30-goal plateau, taking something of a step back this season after rolling at nearly a point-per-game pace in the pandemic-shortened 2021 campaign.
Boeser is due a $7.5 million qualifying offer. He's not worth that, and the Canucks won't pay him it. What they might do is negotiate a long-term deal with a lower AAV, but even then, the Canucks' tight cap situation may make him the odd man out -- especially if they seriously want to re-sign J.T. Miller.
Paying Boeser that much money would be betting that he's more than the 20-to-25-goal guy he's been to this point in his prime. I don't know if that's a bet I would make.
