In a major offseason move, Brock Boeser has officially signed a six-year contract extension with the Toronto Maple Leafs worth $18.4 million. The former Vancouver Canucks forward made the surprising switch after years with the franchise that drafted him, citing a desire for a fresh start and a better fit both on and off the ice.
Boeser, 28, had a strong season with Vancouver but reportedly felt that his role had stagnated and talks about his long-term future with the team didnโt align with his personal goals. Toronto, looking to bolster their offensive depth, pursued Boeser aggressively and offered him a top-six role alongside their core stars.
โIt was a tough decision to leave Vancouverโitโs where I started my NHL journey,โ Boeser said. โBut Toronto showed real belief in me, and Iโm excited to chase a Cup with this group.โ
Leafs management praised Boeserโs scoring touch, experience, and leadership, calling him a key piece of their push for long-term success. Fans can expect Boeser to bring added firepower to the Leafsโ forward group starting next season.
