Boeser's Contract Extension This Summer Not a Priority for Canucks
Brock Boeser's contract extension is not a top priority for the Vancouver Canucks at the moment. The team prefers to evaluate his performance in the upcoming season before making long-term commitments. Boeser, who has shown potential as a nearly point-per-game player, struggled with consistency due to injuries. Last season, he justified his $6.65 million salary with a 40-goal performance, but the Canucks want to see if he can maintain that productivity. This cautious approach allows the team to make a more informed decision on its market value.
