Bleacher Report’s Joe Yerdon discusses 6 potential destinations for Vancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser, who may be on the trade block, and he includes the Red Wings on his list:
Detroit Red Wings: One of the league’s hottest teams of late are the Detroit Red Wings. Ever since Todd McLellan took over as head coach, the Wings have been flying and have themselves heavily back in the wild-card mix.
The key for them to get ultra-serious about the playoffs is to fix their offense. Detroit is tied with Ottawa for 23rd in the league in goals.
Boeser would be fourth in goals and fifth in points on the Red Wings right now, and adding a guy who can shoot it the way he can and have him team up with Dylan Larkin, Alex DeBrincat, Lucas Raymond and Patrick Kane would allow the Wings to roll out a pair of lines that can cause a lot of problems.
Detroit’s power play has carried them in a big way offensively, and they’ll have to get the five-on-five side of things figured out ASAP. Boeser is a great weapon on the power play, but he can get it done the rest of the time as well.
Continued; I’m interested in Boeser, but price is always the issue. I don’t know what he’d cost in compensation, and I can imagine that the Canucks might want a haul for him.
