The Canucks held onto Brock Boeser at the NHL trade deadilne but that does not mean they should re-sign him this offseason.

The Vancouver Canucks were unable to get a trade done on Friday involving forward Brock Boeser and now thanks to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, we know why.

TSN's Darren Dreger reported on Monday that Vancouver offered Boeser a five-year, $40 million contract earlier this season, but negotiations stalled over the term length. According to NHL insider Rick Dhaliwal, Boeser is seeking a seven- or eight-year deal, while the Canucks have been unwilling to go beyond five.

The NHL trade deadline has come and gone, and several bombs were dropped on the hockey world with big moves being made by teams. But for the second year in a row, the Vancouver Canucks were relatively quiet on trade deadline day and did not make any big moves other than trading Carson Soucy.

Sellers around the NHL from Philadelphia to San Jose, Mikko Rantanen and the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers were winners at the trade deadline.

Contract negotiations between Brock Boeser and the Vancouver Canucks have stalled, with the forward feeling “disrespected” at times according to the latest reports. NHL insider Rick Dhaliwal revealed Boeser's frustrations during Monday's episode of the "Donnie & Dhali" show .

Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reported last night that the Vancouver Canucks were not willing to accept anything less than a first-round pick at the NHL Trade Deadline for forward Brock Boeser.

Learning from mistakes is a crucial part of running a successful organization. Over the past half-century, the Vancouver Canucks, like every organization, have had some slip-ups, which have caused significant issues that impact the team's future.
