Vancouver Canucks should move this star winger in Marco Rossi trade…
The Vancouver Canucks should seriously consider moving star winger Brock Boeser in a potential trade for Minnesota Wild center Marco Rossi. While Boeser was a key contributor in the 2024 season, posting career-best numbers, the Canucks face a looming cap crunch and must look toward building a more balanced, younger core. Rossi, a 2020 first-round pick, has shown flashes of high-end skill and could fill a long-term need at center behind Elias Pettersson.
Boeser’s value is at a peak, and moving him now could yield a high-upside return. Rossi, though not fully established yet, has the tools to develop into a top-six pivot—something Vancouver has lacked depth in for years. This trade would also give the Canucks added cap flexibility, helping them re-sign key pending free agents and maintain competitiveness without mortgaging the future.
For Minnesota, acquiring Boeser would address their scoring woes and give Kirill Kaprizov a reliable linemate. It’s a win-win scenario if both teams are willing to bet on upside and need. While it would be difficult for Vancouver to part with Boeser, turning a strength into long-term organizational depth down the middle is a smart, forward-thinking move.
