Concerning an update on Boeser's future in Vancouver: Extension not a priority
A contract extension for Vancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser may not be a priority for the team this summer.
Nearly two weeks ago, July 1st, Vancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser became eligible to sign a contract extension with the team, but nothing has materialized just yet. There's could be a few reasons for this, including that the team wants to see how he is on the ice and performs after having to be shut down ahead of Game 7 against Edmonton due to a blood clotting issue.
While on SC with Jay Onrait, former Vancouver Canucks defenceman and now TSN analyst Frankie Corrado was asked about Brock Boeser and his contract situation and said that that he isn't sure if it's a priority for the Canucks right now to sign him to an extension.
Corrado went on to say that the Canucks have done a good job to set themselves up to sign Brock Boeser to an extension, which could be in a similar salary range to the $6.65 million he's earning in 2024-25. Corrado added that the Canucks likely want to see if he'll be that 40-goal scorer in 2024-25 like he was last season or if his production drops off a bit, but either way, Vancouver has a good opportunity to sign him for fair market value.
He added, "So you're now in a good position to give Brock Boeser market value to stay on your team. Now you probably want to see what transpires here over the course of the year. Are you going to get the Brock Boeser you had last year, the guy who was really good in the playoffs or are you going to get the guy from the two previous seasons? That remains to be seen, but the Canucks have positioned themselves well to pay Brock Boeser fair market value."
It's certainly going to be interesting watching this story develop as we head deeper into the summer and eventually towards training camp. As we all saw last year with Elias Pettersson's contract situation and the distraction it can be, it's safe to say that signing Brock Boeser before puck drop in October might be a wise decision for everyone involved.
