Joyous.
There's a rumour about Boeser moving....

Is it bullshit?
If not, why would the Canucks do this? Cap space (That doesn't make sense...)?

I don't follow the team, honest question.

I think my favorite part of RTP is not the goofy playoff bubble that has a million ways to pop, but the idea that the circumstances will somehow be different for the new season where they would just roll into 31 teams travelling all over the place in the middle of a continuing (and possibly worsening) pandemic.

Also not changing for the next season: The Red Wings will finish DFL and pick 4th. Put it in stone

No, it actually determines seeding amongst the top 4 seeds, with regular season Pt% as the tiebreaker.

Because Benning really is that stupid.

The reason would of course be cap space but Boeser is worth all the money. Also everyone seems to be under the impression that he had a bad year which is not at all true. There may have been some worry that he lost his shot after a wrist injury but a lot of that was s% regression, and his possession numbers were still elite.

He's going to give him away and immediately blow the 3m cap space he has left over on whatever fourth liner with a ring is available

I think that it's more along the lines that the Canucks think that Hoglander and Podkolzin are going to be ready soon.

Ehhh, at this point it's just Matt Sekeres stirring poo poo up, so a massive grain of salt is required here. I don't doubt the Canucks will be exploring every possible opportunity to relieve their cap hell, so it's not hard to believe that includes making soft inquires with other teams about moving almost any player. Boeser is wayyyy down the list of players the Canucks would like to trade for cap relief in a perfect world, but at the same time Boeser isn't quite in that untouchable category like Pettersson and Hughes are, so if a team made an offer Benning couldn't refuse, who the hell knows. But honestly, If Benning has to unload a first line winger in his prime right as the team is starting to look legit so he can solve cap issues created by his idiotic free agent signings, Vancouver might burn again.

From a practical standpoint I don't even know why this is even being brought up right now other than to stir the pot. Nobody can be traded right now, nobody knows how the playoffs will shake out, there's still so many unknowns. I wouldn't dwell on it too much right now.

The broadcast rights haven’t changed, so Rogers/CBC in Canada and NBC in the US as usual.

If you’re in Canada I think they do show the playoffs on Gamecenter though. But I’m guessing no from that Texas.
