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.

I don't see him as a 40 goal guy at all. He scored it once, which is cool and all, but I think he's a 25 goal, 30ish assist guy. Similar to Toffoli, I think Boeser will also contribute into his 30s.
Given he's not cutting off negotiations once the season starts, I'd agree Boeser's preference is to stay in Vancouver and get a retirement contract there.
