Evening Notes: Boeser, IIHF/Russia, NHLPA Leadership

January 31, 2023 at 7:35 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson 22 Comments

After the Bo Horvat trade yesterday, the floodgates appear to be opening on the trade front. That’s especially true for the Vancouver Canucks, who have some desirable trade assets other than Horvat that could find their way out of town by the trade deadline.

One of those is Brock Boeser, who TSN’s Darren Dreger said today continues to receive interest from around the league. However, he reported that any Boeser trade, and the corresponding interest, hinges on how much salary Vancouver is willing to retain in a potential trade. Boeser is signed to a steep cap hit of $6.65MM for the next three seasons. With so many teams already dipping into LTIR pools to stay cap-compliant, Vancouver is unlikely to find a trade partner willing to take the full brunt of the deal. The 25-year-old has nine goals and 30 points in 41 games this season. That’s a 60-point pace over 82 games.

  • TSN’s Chris Johnston also reported on today’s edition of Insider Trading that the IIHF has a council meeting set up for March to discuss the status of Russian and Belarusian players in future international hockey events. Johnston notes that any changes to the current ban on those athletes participating won’t be lifted by the World Championship events in Spring 2023. Still, there could be a change in policy heading into the 2024 calendar of events. The conversation was reignited by the International Olympic Committee’s decision to allow Russian athletes to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics. However, they likely would have to compete under a neutral flag.
  • As the NHLPA continues its search to name a new executive director, NHL analyst John Shannon today reported the list of players comprising the organization’s search committee. Ian Cole (TBL), Jacob Trouba (NYR), James van Riemsdyk (PHI), Justin Faulk (STL), Kevin Shattenkirk (ANA), Kyle Okposo (BUF), Mattias Ekholm (NSH), Nate Schmidt (WPG), Sam Gagner (WPG), and Zach Hyman (EDM) are the members who will determine the replacement for outgoing director Donald Fehr.

    Russia not being in the games is moronic.

      Draining our treasury to fund a war on the other side of the planet is moronic.

      There’s no actual disagreement between these two statements. Both are “true” in some sense. But look at the results of using a word like “moronic” so casually. The words you use to describe your world come back more than anything on you, and those near to you. There are other words that better illustrate the empathy and frustration you feel: “tragic,” “unfortunate,” “agonizing”… how does that change affect the outcome of your position? Likely, you’re closer to “consensus” and change. If that’s too complicated, just remember the playground rebuke: “takes one to know one,” since regardless of how much you put in, that’s what you get out. You can change the world, all day every day. Which is exactly why I love hockey: it’s tough, like life, and evolving all the time, and it’s fucking FUN, which is the object of most peoples’ search it seems to me. I reserve the right to change my mind later. I appreciate these comments (had 12 when I wrote this).

      Narrator: If sending over 100 billion dollars to a foreign nation isn’t draining the treasury, please tell us what amount would accomplish that?

      I find the effectual assumption that I am a Putin apologist for thinking banning Russian and Belarusian teenagers from a hockey tournament absurd, but I guess they are the people most responsible for this war so…

      Not going to write a dissertation on why we isolate and ostracize rogue states and bad actors on the world stage on ProHockeyRumors.

      Let’s see if I can get the gist (as it applies here) into a sentence…

      Russia cannot be allowed to convince the Russian people that everything is fine and normal and okay and going great. Allowing them into world events enables that.

      Oh, but I would like to read a dissertation on how we’re isolating and ostracizing China. Please elucidate us on that.

    So, what do you guys think of the NHLPA’s choices for the new search committee? Just thought I’d throw a rhetorical jobbie in for light relief here. {:-}

      @Gbear—Leave it to you to actually read my lint there! :) It’s unfortunate the speculation is centered around the former mayor of Boston. Musk might be a better candidate, but I’m thinking the NHLPA might not be able to hear the two (or more) of us through the din.

      @Mac – Great minds think alike! :)

      A serious choice would be Trump’s former trade negotiator Robert Lightzinger. That guy is one tough negotiator!

    Heck, I’ll go even more radical than Mac and discuss the first paragraph. The “floodgates appear to be opening?” Where? Have there been more announced trades?

    Until there are, I submit that just a single deal doesn’t budge the “floodgates” much.

      @Nha Trang – Sounds like you heard the same thing I did. Instead of the torrent of the notorious now-former river known as Dry Creek, all we may hear is the creaky floodgates that might need a bath in WD-40. Flat cap, many teams with little to no wiggle room and not keen on mortgaging the future for a rental might spell TV guys sitting around their desk twiddling thumbs for much of the time.

    The only reason there is a land known as America, is because of the same stuff Russia is doing. And you celebrate it every Thanksgiving like its super normal and okay. But I shouldnt be surprised when being a hypocrite is clearly part of being American

      Get your history correct. Didn’t the Bristish Empire, of which you are still some shoestring Country of theirs, basically do the same thing, but to a much greater extent?

      The national anthem of the US should actually be the US Marine Hymn:

      “From the Halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli, we fight our country’s battles in the air, on land and sea.”

      How about no… Marines are crazy overrated… and the song, if broken down, is a nonsense propaganda jingle. Marines have basically been a none factor for the first 200 years of this country.
