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

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.

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.

TSN's Darren Dreger reported on Monday that Vancouver offered Boeser a five-year, $40 million contract earlier this season, but negotiations stalled over the term length. According to NHL insider Rick Dhaliwal, Boeser is seeking a seven- or eight-year deal, while the Canucks have been unwilling to go beyond five.

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

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.

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?

Contract extension talks between Brock Boeser and the Vancouver Canucks have stalled, creating uncertainty as the NHL trade deadline nears. Boeser, in the final year of a three-year contract, rejected a $40 million offer.

Brock Boeser may have remained with the Vancouver Canucks past the trade deadline, but comments from general manager Patrik Allvin have raised eyebrows regarding the forward’s future with the team.
