BREAKING NEWS: Vancouver Canucks Sign Brock Boeser to 5-Year, $43.25 Million Extension
Vancouver, BC — In a significant move to secure their offensive core, the Vancouver Canucks have announced a five-year contract extension with right wing Brock Boeser, valued at $43.25 million, equating to an average annual value (AAV) of $8.65 million. The deal, confirmed by General Manager Adam Foote, ensures that the 28-year-old sniper remains with the team through the 2030–31 NHL season.
Boeser, drafted 23rd overall by the Canucks in 2015, has been a consistent offensive contributor since his debut. Over 532 career games, he has amassed 197 goals and 420 points. His most notable season came in 2023–24, where he reached the 40-goal milestone for the first time, finishing with 40 goals and 73 points in 81 games. He also led the team in scoring during the playoffs with seven goals and 12 points in 12 .
Despite his previous success, Boeser’s performance during the 2024–25 season was a topic of discussion. He recorded 18 goals and 37 points in 53 games, a step back from his career-best numbers. This dip in production led to speculation about his future with the team, with some analysts questioning the wisdom of a long-term investment.
The Canucks’ decision to offer Boeser a five-year extension, reportedly at $8 million annually, was met with mixed reactions. Some fans and analysts felt the contract was an overpayment, considering Boeser’s recent performance and the team’s current trajectory.
In response to the contract extension, former Canucks player Jannik Hansen expressed concerns about Boeser’s ability to drive play independently, suggesting that his value may not justify the $8 million salary.
General Manager Adam Foote defended the decision, highlighting Boeser’s leadership qualities and his potential to contribute to the team’s success in the coming seasons. Foote emphasized the importance of retaining key players to maintain team stability and competitiveness.
As the Canucks move forward with Boeser secured under contract, the organization will look to build around their core players and address areas of need to enhance their performance in the upcoming seasons.
