When Brock Boeser signed his seven-year contract with an average annual value of $7.3 million on July 1, 2025, the Vancouver Canucks were a year removed from their third-best regular season in franchise history. Despite their disappointing 2024-25 campaign, there was hope that they might regain their previous form.
Instead, the Canucks endured one of their worst seasons, finishing last in the overall standings. Core players such as Quinn Hughes, Tyler Myers, Conor Garland, and Kiefer Sherwood were traded. Meanwhile, changes were made to the management and coaching staff as a full rebuild began.
Despite the upheaval of the past two seasons, Boeser was not among the players requesting a trade, nor does it seem that he was approached about waiving his no-movement clause.
Boeser has been very loyal to the Canucks since starting his NHL career with them in 2016-17. Despite the highs and lows and speculation about his future that have dogged him for the past two years, he hasn’t indicated that he wants out.
However, another difficult season like the past one could change Boeser’s mind. Now 29 and with the Canucks rebuilding, he could decide that his chances of playing for a winning club during the remaining six seasons on his contract would be better elsewhere.
