In a stunning move that signals full confidence in their star winger, the Vancouver Canucks have signed Brock Boeser to a blockbuster three-year contract extension worth a reported US$172.5 million. The deal, averaging an eye-popping $57.5 million per year, makes Boeser one of the highest-paid players in NHL history and cements his role as a cornerstone of the franchise.
Boeser, 28, is coming off a career-best season where he tallied 40 goals and 75 points, silencing critics and trade rumors alike. The Canucks’ front office praised his leadership, consistency, and growth as both a player and a person. “Brock is a key part of our present and future,” said General Manager Patrik Allvin. “This deal reflects our belief in his abilities and our commitment to building a championship-caliber team around our core.”
Fans, initially shocked by the staggering contract figures, have largely embraced the decision, seeing it as a bold statement of ambition by the franchise. Boeser, in a brief statement, said, “I’m grateful for the trust and excited to help bring a Stanley Cup to Vancouver.”
This contract puts pressure on the Canucks to perform — and Boeser to deliver.
