The trade winds are swirling around the Vancouver Canucks, and Brock Boeser's name has entered the conversation. Just after Tyler Myers was a healthy scratch against the Winnipeg Jets, TSN’s Darren Dreger has reported that Boeser might be on the move.
This isn’t exactly breaking news, as whispers of Boeser being trade bait have been around for a while. However, Dreger adds a new twist: Boeser is open to waiving his no-movement clause if the right opportunity comes along.
“It’s intriguing to see Boeser’s name in trade talks,” Dreger noted on Insider Trading. “He just inked a seven-year deal with the Canucks last July.
Is he open to a move? Yes, if it aligns with his and his family’s interests.
He’s known for stepping up in the playoffs, so teams are definitely interested.”
Boeser, who recently got engaged to his longtime girlfriend from Vancouver, agreed to a seven-year contract with a $7.25 million annual cap hit. The deal includes a full no-movement clause for the first four years, transitioning to a 15-team no-trade list afterward.
This season, Boeser has netted 12 goals and 14 assists through 51 games, putting him on track for a career-low 39 points. Drafted 23rd overall by the Canucks in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, Boeser’s strong shot has been his calling card.
He made a significant impact in the 2023-24 season, scoring 40 goals and adding seven more in 12 playoff games. During the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs, Boeser was a standout, tallying 12 points in 12 games with crucial goals.
With the NHL Trade Deadline looming on March 6th, the question remains: Should the Canucks trade Boeser? Fans are encouraged to weigh in with their thoughts.
