Canucks and Brock Boeser Finalize Seven-Year Agreement
The Vancouver Canucks and forward Brock Boeser have finalized a significant seven-year agreement, featuring an annual average value of $7.25 million. This announcement was made by Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin during the early moments of NHL free agency on Tuesday.
Boeser’s Career Highlights
At 28 years old, Boeser entered free agency as an unrestricted player, with his previous contract nearing its end. Drafted 23rd overall by Vancouver in the 2015 NHL Draft, he has showcased remarkable talent throughout his career, amassing 204 goals and 434 points across 554 games with the Canucks. Known for his top-six offensive potential, Boeser combines impressive playmaking abilities with the capacity to rack up substantial scoring numbers.
Recent Performance
His performance peaked during the 2023-24 season, where he reached a personal best with 40 goals and 73 points in an 81-game stretch. Although he experienced a dip in statistics during the last season, finishing with 25 goals and 50 points in 75 games, he still ranked as the second-highest scorer among his teammates. Boeser’s influence is particularly noticeable on Vancouver’s power play, showcasing his capability to turn the tide during five-on-five scenarios, making him an essential asset to the team’s forward lineup.
Contract Extension and Future with the Canucks
This contract extension marks a positive resolution for both Boeser and the Canucks. Following the conclusion of the last season, he expressed uncertainty about returning to Vancouver. Prior to this new deal, he had turned down a five-year extension proposal and was reportedly the subject of trade discussions during the March deadline, yet no trades materialized. As it turns out, Boeser has chosen to remain with the Canucks, pledging to dedicate the prime years of his career to the organization.
