New Jersey Devils: Three Trade Packages For Brock Boeser

Trade One

If the New Jersey Devils offered Damon Severson and a 1st-round pick for Brock Boeser, it might be something worth considering for Vancouver. They need to shed cap while improving other areas of their team. They could use a puck-moving defenseman to join the likes of Quinn Hughes on the blue line. Severson could be that guy.

The first-round pick would probably have to be the Arizona pick because it will be right there in the middle of the first round where they can get a high-quality player in a deep draft. The Canucks are going to run into some cap issues when the cap goes down so trading Boeser for a pick where they can select a younger (and cheaper) player might be something they consider.

Adding Severson would also replace Boeser’s salary with a player that can help them in another area. He would be pretty good as a guy who can quarterback their second power-play unit. He and Hughes could be a great 1-2 duo on the power play back end, so you never know if they go for something like this. If you are the Devils, this is a trade you make all day. Severson has been good at times, but Boeser would be able to provide something special with these two young centers. They also have other 1st-round picks in 2020 where they can draft young players.
