Adding Brock Boeser would be the right move for the New Jersey Devils.

The New Jersey Devils are trying to build themselves a core that can have sustained success for a long time. They have some really good young players in the mix, but they need some more help. They are going to look to draft some high-end talent here in 2020. They might try to be active on the free-agent and trade market once again. If Brock Boeser is one of the players that becomes available this offseason, he’s a player the Devils must go after.

Rumors were flying around Canucks/hockey Twitter that Vancouver might be looking to trade him. If that were the case, the Devils should be one of the first calls Jim Benning takes. He is a great goal scorer that would be the perfect compliment to guys like Nico Hischier or Jack Hughes. Those guys can provide lots of offense and have a lot of high-end skills so having a sniper in Boeser next to them would be so good.

Boeser is only 23 years old and already has made a tremendous impact in the National Hockey League. He has been awesome already, but he still has room to grow. 2019-20 was a bit of a down year for him as he had 16 goals and 29 assists for 45 points in 59 games. Those aren’t awful numbers, so you know that he is a great player when we call that a “down year”.

In 197 career games for Vancouver, he has 75 career goals and 86 assists for 161 points. Those are some pretty good numbers for such a young player that has the potential to get even better. if the Devils were able to add someone like this, it would be special. These are three packages that might get it done:
