I’m a bit surprised by this. Is it because of the blood clots or is it money?
Just wondering.

As far as I know, the belief in media is that if there is one player on the Canucks who may take a hometown discount to stay, it's Boeser. The issue is what is a home town discount varies mightily on what kind of player Brock is.
Is he a 40 goal scorer on one of the top lines in hockey who plays 82 games?
Is he a 25 goal scorer who gets hot and cold through the season and has injury issues?
There's a few million between those two numbers even with a discount and both sides need clarity as to what he is.
The expectation is apparently that if he is off the USA Four Nations Cup roster that they will likely hammer out an extension over that two week break one way or another.
