Confirm

[Arian The Insider]

fair deal all around

[Shoalzie]

This adding young NHLers to my old mediocre roster is fun...I can't stop!

[kyuss]

not sure why Boeser wasn't shopped around after you said you were done till the draft once you acquired him

but I'm not saying it's a bad deal, to me Boeser seems to have become overrated after the NCAA season he had

[thom54]

good deal for both, love it for Scott

[Matthew]

Boeser is the type of piece that should get shopped before moving, imo.

Am I the only one without a Boeser hardon

[thom54]

me

[Shoalzie]

I think he's going to be quite good. I was very impressed with his freshman year at North Dakota. This was probably the only type of trade I where I would've moved him...hence, that's why I didn't shop him around. Also, if Steve was only going to an accept a 1-for-1...I would've just declined and hung onto Boeser.

dude... nich is like 21 lol

[Arian The Insider]

Reading isn't Paul's best skill

[thom54]

I mean he's an excellent prospect certainly, but ... Nich ain't shit either. BB is a big guy who gets ++SOG and scores. Nich is in the NHL now, ++talent, speed size. I see a guy like Okposo in BB.

Nich - I prefer his upside actually. BUT ... he needs out of dallas I think to hit his maximal upside.

[kimmer]

oh shit nm I thought he traded to nich to get boeser
im like u already had one lol and traded it away for a prospect

[Shoalzie]

Well, Nichushkin is older than Boeser but on my active roster, he's a young pup. I've added 4 forwards all under the age of 26.

[Handsome&FairMike]

nice move scott.

[CasperX22]

Prefer this for Steve in the long run, but fair.
