I just can't see how that trade would favor the Flames at all.
One player does not make a team, but having at least one top end talent at each position is a must. The only one we're missing is RW. You make this trade and we're missing RW and LW, with a bunch of maybes. May be in the cards for a team that's about to hit a decline and we were talking about a 30 year old JG, but we're not. It's imperative to retain him.

I think Boeser is a top RW prospect. I think he's that good.
I think this organization STILL lacks overall assets - and that has been the struggle for 2 decades.
Making a deal where they turn a late pick into 4 great assets wouldn't be bad.
It's moot though. If this were to happen I doubt it would be the Canucks in any way, shape or form. So we are wasting time debating a deal that is never going to be in the cards.
If Johnny is dealt, at some point now or in the future, I think going east is far more likely: Philly, NY, Devils, Boston, etc.
