Brock Boeser

The Minnesota native is a winger who is looking for a change of scenery. Brock Boeser has been good for the Vancouver Canucks, averaging 29 goals and 64 points a season. He would add a sniper’s touch to the Devils for a 2nd/3rd line scoring touch in the regular season and in the playoffs on the power play.

Yes, he does come with a $6.65 million AAV per season. He’s under contract throughout the 2024-25 campaign meaning no need to broker a new contract extension before being traded to NJ. The Devils look to add the winger while the Vancouver Canucks try to win the Connor Bedard Lottery.

Notables

Max Domi is another player that could add that extra salt and vinegar to the top nine and make it more difficult to fight him on the forecheck and power play. Miles Wood has underperformed as of late, and it would be something Tom Fitzgerald could shake things up for Lindy Ruff’s lineup. Since the Bo Horvat trade occurred, the prices seem volatile, so a lot can happen between now and the trade deadline on March 3rd.

Next. Would New Jersey Devils Regret Trading Alex Holtz?. dark

This is a buyer’s season for the first time for the New Jersey Devils organization under Tom Fitzgerald. He will look for that hockey trade and hope to get the right moves done without ruining the farm system and near-term assets. However, the 2023 1st-round pick should be in play with the way the Devils are playing so well.
