The Vancouver Canucks’ forward Brock Boeser is likely to enter unrestricted free agency soon, as reported by Frank Seravalli from Daily Faceoff. Boeser, who can officially become a free agent on Tuesday, recently received another contract offer from the Canucks in an effort to retain him.
Trade Speculation and Management Remarks Following Deadline
Before the March trade deadline, Boeser’s name surfaced frequently in trade rumors. However, after he remained with Vancouver, Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin acknowledged the surprising interest from other teams. Allvin told reporters,
If I told you what I was offered for Brock Boeser, I think I would have to run out of here because you would not believe me.
This remark underscores the unexpected magnitude of the offers Vancouver received for the winger.
Boeser’s Performance and Career Overview with the Canucks
During the 2024-25 NHL season, Boeser played 75 games for Vancouver, scoring 25 goals and adding 25 assists. His 50 points placed him second among team scorers, although he also posted a team-worst minus-25 rating and accumulated 16 penalty minutes. Drafted 23rd overall in 2015, the 28-year-old from Burnsville, Minnesota, has played 554 games with the Canucks, amassing 204 goals and 230 assists for 434 points overall. In 29 playoff appearances, he has recorded 11 goals and 12 assists.
Currently, Boeser is in the final year of a three-year contract valued at an average annual salary of $6.65 million, according to PuckPedia.
Canucks’ Recent Acquisition of Evander Kane and Team Impact
In a notable roster move, Vancouver acquired left winger Evander Kane from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. Kane, 33, who missed the entire 2024-25 regular season due to injury, returned to contribute 12 points (six goals, six assists) over 21 playoff games during Edmonton’s postseason run. Kane holds one year remaining on a four-year contract worth $5.125 million annually.
What Lies Ahead for Boeser and Vancouver
Brock Boeser’s impending free agency arrives at a pivotal moment for the Canucks as they adjust their lineup with new additions like Kane. The offers reportedly received for Boeser suggest significant interest league-wide, indicating potential shifts in Vancouver’s roster strategy. How the team and Boeser move forward after Tuesday will have important implications for both the player’s career and the Canucks’ competitive outlook.
