As the NHL trade deadline is just one day away, the Vancouver Canucks and Brock Boeser still have not come to an agreement on a contract extension, and Boeser is not pleased about the prospects of potentially be traded.
It has been reported over and over again that if Brock Boeser does not not have a contract extension in place by the NHL Trade Deadline on March 7th, there is an almost 100% guarantee that they will be forced to move him.
This became all too apparent when Boeser made it perfectly clear ahead of the game last night against the Anaheim Ducks that it could easily be his last.
"Yeah, I'm not really trying to think about that. I honestly have no idea what's going to happen. I'm really just trying to focus on the game tonight. Obviously it might be a little difficult, but I'm going to do the best I can to really dial it in and be prepared to go out there and work hard, be a leader and help our team win a hockey game." Boeser said.
Brock Boeser Publicly Unhappy with the Vancouver Canucks amid the lack of Contract Negotiations
Eligible to become an unrestricted free-agent at the end of the season, the Canucks have been trying to find a deal that works for both sides, but it appears it is not going to get done.
Their most recent contract offer to the 27-year-old forward was still way to far off. and was rejected.
With the lack of progress, Boeser has publicly displayed his frustration with the team as he desperately want to remain in Vancouver.
"I mean, I understand it's a business," Boeser said. "I feel like I'm a pretty loyal guy, and I feel like that should speak for itself. But it's a business, and that's just how things operate.
"We all know the three options that could happen (before the deadline): trade, re-sign or neither. If nothing happens and July 1 comes around, I still think I'm in a good spot (as a UFA).
But I've talked to you and definitely been open about, you know, how much I love it in Vancouver. So, yeah, it's actually frustrating that nothing's got done.
"Obviously, it's not all out of my control. I feel I can score more and produce more and maybe be a difference maker out there. So I'm really just trying to focus on helping our team win hockey games right now."

The reality is, there is just over 24 hours left before the deadline, and if a deal is not done by tonight, there is a very strong possibility that we will be seeing Boeser in a different NHL clubs unform come this time Saturday.
