Viral Photo of Brock Boeser’s Autographed Jersey Hints at Imminent Canucks Departure

A photo of Brock Boeser with a team-signed Vancouver Canucks jersey in his car has gone viral, leading many to believe the forward’s tenure with the team could be ending. 

With the Canucks missing the playoffs and Boeser’s contract expiring after 2024-25—and no extension in sight—fans are interpreting the autographed jersey as a farewell gesture.

Boeser, who carries a $6.65 million cap hit, has reportedly hit a snag in contract negotiations. While the 27-year-old winger is pushing for a long-term deal (seven or eight years), the Canucks seem hesitant to commit. 

Tensions have also risen due to public criticism from GM Patrik Allvin, who openly questioned Boeser’s fit with the team during the season and at the trade deadline.

Given the circumstances, the viral jersey photo suggests Boeser may already be preparing for his next chapter.

A Fond Farewell for a Canucks Fan Favorite

Ahead of Wednesday’s season finale, social media has been buzzing with calls for fans to give Boeser a proper sendoff. If this is indeed his last game in Vancouver, supporters want to show their appreciation for a player who ranks 8th in franchise goals and 12th in points.

Though some caution against reading too much into the signed jersey, the growing expectation is that Boeser will be wearing a different uniform next season.

If this marks the end of his Canucks career, Boeser’s resilience and dedication won’t be forgotten. Despite a disappointing season and public scrutiny, he maintained a positive attitude—a testament to his professionalism during one of the toughest stretches of his time in Vancouver.
