Canucks Rumors: Next '9 Days' Could Be The Last For Brock Boeser & Vancouver

Tuesday, April 08, 2025

These next ten days could mark the end of an era for Brock Boeser and the Vancouver Canucks. 

With the team on the brink of missing the playoffs for the fourth time in five seasons, Boeser’s future is clouded by uncertainty as he approaches unrestricted free agency on July 1, as noted by Patrick Johnston of The Province. 

“I’m finally back to my game,” he said recently. “I’ve been confident, I’ve been back to myself.” But even as he tries to stay focused on the ice, Boeser admitted the swirling trade rumors leading up to the deadline affected his play and mindset earlier this season.

It’s been a turbulent year in Vancouver—on and off the ice. 

The locker room rift between Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller, a rash of injuries, and prolonged stretches of inconsistent play have all contributed to the team’s uphill battle. Boeser lamented missed opportunities earlier in the year, particularly during a crucial stretch in December when the Canucks failed to build momentum despite some strong wins. 

“I wish we’d gotten our game dialed in there. That’s two more wins,” he reflected. Now, with games remaining against Vegas, Dallas, and Colorado, the odds of a miracle playoff push look slim.

Boeser, 28, has expressed his love for the city, the fans, and the life he’s built in Vancouver, but negotiations haven’t offered much clarity. 

The Canucks reportedly offered him $8 million annually on a five-year deal, but Boeser is seeking more long-term security. A seven-year deal at $7 to $7.5 million could be a compromise, but if the price creeps higher than seven years at $8 million, Vancouver may have to walk away. 

Boeser knows he can’t control what happens next—but he’s determined to finish strong. “I’m just gonna show up every night,” he said. 

Whether that’s for one last run with the Canucks or an audition for the rest of the league, his final games in blue and green may be just days away.
