As the NHL trade deadline approaches, the Columbus Blue Jackets have surfaced as a potential destination for Vancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser, as his contract talks with the franchise have failed to advance.
The Vancouver Canucks have an important decision to make with forward Brock Boeser. Boeser, 27, is a pending unrestricted free agent, and with the Canucks battling for a playoff spot in the Western Conference,
Boeser, a pending unrestricted free agent, is coming off a career year with 40 goals and a solid postseason in 2024. While he remains on pace for 30 goals (he has scored 15 in 38 games this season), his consistent scoring ability has positioned him for a lucrative long-term contract.
If the Canucks and Boeser can’t come to an agreement before the summer, they risk losing him for nothing. That’s why he’s a candidate to be traded if there’s no new deal before the March 7 trade deadline. Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin has admitted as much in past interviews.

While a Brock Boeser trade doesn't seem likely even with the forward set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer, this Eastern Conference team could be a fit.
Canucks fans are a little spoiled as they get to watch Hughes on a nightly basis. He pulls off moves that few players in the world can do while making it look easy. While the moves look spectacular from a distance, they are also stunning from ice level, according to Boeser.

Zzzzzzzzzz Oh shoot, it’s a goal! Ah, yes, it came from Tage Thompson. After an icing call late in the first period, the Sabres won the draw in the Canucks’ end, and wasted little time in getting the puck into the right hands.
Paul Bissonnette told a story recently about how Vancouver Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini asked him for his advice on the Miller situation.
The Vancouver Canucks are poised to fundamentally reimagine the direction of their franchise. It’s a process that could significantly alter the club’s short-term standing and priorities, and it nearly began rather dramatically over the weekend.
Vancouver Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin says he’s open to making a trade — as long as the deal makes sense for the team.
