The Canucks are coming off a strong season, having won the Pacific Division and making a second-round playoff exit, which has raised the bar within the organization. 

Allvin expressed confidence that Boeser can build on the progress he made last year and rise to meet the heightened expectations. "The players have raised the standard," Allvin noted, highlighting the increased pressure on individuals like Boeser to perform at a higher level.
