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.

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,

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.

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.
