Brock Boeser returning to Canucks on seven-year deal


Amid changes in Vancouver, one key player is staying put.

Brock Boeser is signing a seven-year, $52.75 million contract to remain with the Canucks, the team announced Tuesday.

Boeser, 28, has spent his entire career with the Canucks after being selected in the first round (23rd overall) in the 2015 draft.

The Burnsville, Minn., native, known for his scoring prowess, recorded 25 goals last season — a letdown of sorts after exploding for a career-high 40 the year prior.

He ended the season with 50 points and a minus-25 as the Canucks missed the playoffs amid internal turmoil that led to the trade of J.T. Miller to the New York Rangers.

Boeser has played 554 career games, scoring 204 goals and dishing 230 assists. He’s been limited to fewer than 20 goals just once in a full season.

Boeser is coming off a three-year contract which paid him $6.65 million annually. In that period, he sandwiched a career season between two down years.
