Vancouver Canucks winger Brock Boeser is expected to be one of the premier names available at this year's trade deadline.
The Canucks are approaching a crossroads with pending UFA star Brock Boeser. What would be the pros and cons of Vancouver making him a trade asset?
Boeser has been starting to create chatter in the rumor mill, as the Canucks are struggling this season, and the 2015 first-round pick is a pending unrestricted free agent. With the Bruins needing more scoring in their top six, he could be an excellent player for them to bring in at the deadline.
Jeff Paterson wonders if the Vancouver Canucks could hold onto pending UFA winger Brock Boeser past the trade deadline, and left him walk to free agency and just settle for the added salary cap space.
The Vancouver Canucks continue to struggle mightily, and Brock Boeser knows he might not be safe from a potential trade.
Boeser, a pending unrestricted free agent, is coming off a career year with 40 goals and a solid postseason in 2024. While he remains on pace for 30 goals (he has scored 15 in 38 games this season), his consistent scoring ability has positioned him for a lucrative long-term contract.
Boeser, who is in the final season of a three-year, $19.95 million contract carrying a $6.65 million cap hit, has tallied 15 goals and 12 assists for 27 points in 37 games. While Boeser's numbers are respectable, his production is down compared to last season’s 40-goal, 73-point campaign.
Boeser has been a Canuck for eight years. His team’s current struggles pain him. He thought the days of bad nights, of disappointment at the end of the season, were behind them. It’s eating him up. “It doesn’t feel good, nope,” he said.
It seems inevitable that the Canucks will end up with a franchise-changing trade in the coming weeks. Can the Leafs take advantage of it?
