Pierre LeBrun @PierreVLeBrun
After about a week without much communication, hearing that the dialogue has picked up between the Canucks and Brock Boeser’s camp over the past 24 hours. Who knows where it leads but at least there’s dialogue.



Rick Dhaliwal @DhaliwalSports
Boeser and Canucks getting close .

Rick Dhaliwal @DhaliwalSports
Hearing it’s a bridge deal for Boeser.

Dan Murphy @sportsnetmurph
It’s going to be a three year deal for Boeser. #canucks

Vancouver Canucks @Canucks
Replying to @Canucks @BBoeser16
OFFICIAL: #Canucks re-sign @BBoeser16 to a three-year deal worth an average annual value of $5.875 million.

Here we go!

[Mattman]

I have full faith that Jim Benning did not sign this guy under $11 million/year.

[PaperBagger'14]

As much as I wanna see 3 years at 9 mil per to bend over the nucks, I'd rather not set that precedent for Tkachuk

[Barca]

3 years according to Dan Murphy!

i predict 5.8m

[Cecil Terwilliger]

[FiveSeven]

I'll take 5.75, Bob.

[Oling_Roachinen]

I believe 3 years still means he'll be RFA for two years after this deal. That makes it a little less risky to sign him and then have to deal with a QO/arbitration hearing making him a UFA as early as possible, as opposed to say Tkachuk signing for 3 years. Therefore I think the term favours the Canucks, so anything under 6M I would reluctantly call a win for the Canucks.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

3 years eliminates his non-arb years.

Interesting if true; working to confirm.

[Moneyhands23]

Thats actually a good deal

The third year of Boeser’s contract has a $7.5M base. As we’ve seen with McAvoy/Werenski, that will be a major factor in the last seasons before he’s a UFA.

[Oling_Roachinen]

Yeah, pretty reasonable. As long as it doesn't have a poison pill last year that requires Boesser to be qualified at a crazy high amount. (EDIT: And it's 7.5M, pushing it but probably worth the risk).

I don't see the Canucks competing in the next three years, so hopefully they come back to regret this contract in year four when they have to re-sign him to a higher contract instead of getting an eight year deal at a reasonable cap-hit today.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

7.5 probably won't be a major obstacle as a QO, though. It's a perfectly fair deal for a guy who has yet to play a full season and has missed significant time with injury for three straight years. Good reason not to go long term, I suppose.

He's only been in the league for 2.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

He was hurt his last year at UND as well, I believe.

I doubt there was any 8 year deal available at a reasonable cap hit.

That’s why none of these RFA’s are signing 8 year deals.

its happening!

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Unfortunately that's a pretty solid deal for the Canucks. I'm surprised it was under 6.

[shadowlord]

Don't the Canucks only have 4.x M cap space left?

Trickier player to value because of the injuries. His production when healthy is superb and could have had 30 goals each of first 2 years in the league.

This could be a steal but then it will cost them big time. Crazy how big their payroll is.
