The Canucks held onto Brock Boeser at the NHL trade deadilne but that does not mean they should re-sign him this offseason.

The NHL trade deadline has come and gone, and several bombs were dropped on the hockey world with big moves being made by teams. But for the second year in a row, the Vancouver Canucks were relatively quiet on trade deadline day and did not make any big moves other than trading Carson Soucy.

Brock Boeser is staying in Vancouver — at least until the end of the 2024-25 campaign.

Sellers around the NHL from Philadelphia to San Jose, Mikko Rantanen and the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers were winners at the trade deadline.

The Vancouver Canucks were unable to get a trade done on Friday involving forward Brock Boeser and now thanks to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, we know why.

Vancouver Canucks veteran Brock Boeser admitted he's frustrated with the lack of a contract extension ahead of free agency.

Seravalli: “Brock Boeser, I believe the Vancouver Canucks have put a five year, $40 million deal on the table. That’s five years times $8 million. He wants six or seven years. Will they blink over the next week, or will they trade him?

The Canucks, currently in a playoff position with a 27-21-11 record and sitting in the second wild-card position, face the tough decision of whether to trade Boeser before March 7 or risk losing him for nothing in free agency if they cannot reach an agreement.

Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reported last night that the Vancouver Canucks were not willing to accept anything less than a first-round pick at the NHL Trade Deadline for forward Brock Boeser.
