Stuffer was saying oilers cleared all that space because he would come on the cheap to Edmonton.

It would be awesome if this was all a troll job by Boeser.

I don't know why if a pending UFA doesn't re-up with his current team before July 1 will lose the 8-yr option. The 8-yr (soon to be 7-yr) hometown advantage should remain as long as the player re-sign with the same team, even beyond July 1

No idea what Vancouver's plan is, but this is a good contract.

Shocked he didn't go to Minny

Also, #### Edmonton!

May be that was the case until Mrs Boeser got wind of this and told hubby no way in hell I'm moving to Deadmonton!

I think most people had him going to Minnesota - I definitely did. This was surprising. I wonder how Quinn Hughes feels about the team now?

Maybe reported earlier but Dreger says at least 10 teams made pitches today for Boeser.
