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

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.

Brock Boeser is staying in Vancouver — at least until the end of the 2024-25 campaign.

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.

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.

Gabriel Morency is talking about Vancouvr Canucks fans, eager for major changes, pushed for trading Brock Boeser and replacing mascot Finn with a new character.
