The Canucks are approaching a crossroads with pending UFA star Brock Boeser. What would be the pros and cons of Vancouver making him a trade asset?

Jeff Paterson wonders if the Vancouver Canucks could hold onto pending UFA winger Brock Boeser past the trade deadline, and left him walk to free agency and just settle for the added salary cap space.

The Vancouver Canucks continue to struggle mightily, and Brock Boeser knows he might not be safe from a potential trade.

Here are the predicted contract values for Brock Boeser and the other Vancouver Canucks free agents this summer.

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 you haven't been paying attention, the Vancouver Canucks' season has gone off the rails on the ice and has been overwhelmed with drama off it. One

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.

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 three-team trade didn't involve Vancouver, but it may impact the Canucks more than anyone else in the NHL.

After signing a series of cheap one-year deals with other clubs, Danton Heinen was finally rewarded with a two-year, $2.25 million AAV contract from the Canucks. Mediocre would be the best word to sum up Heinen’s tenure in Vancouver so far: He hasn’t hurt the team in any way, but he isn’t doing enough to move the needle either.

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.

Vancouver Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin says he’s open to making a trade — as long as the deal makes sense for the team.
