In a major development for the Vancouver Canucks and their fans, forward Brock Boeser has signed a five-year contract extension that will keep him in Vancouver through the 2029–30 NHL season. The agreement marks a significant commitment from both Boeser and the organization, reinforcing the franchise’s plans to build around a strong core of players.
Contract Details
The extension, announced on May 9, 2025, follows a standout season for Boeser, who continued to prove his value as a top-six winger. While the Canucks have yet to release full financial terms, insiders suggest the deal carries a similar annual cap hit to Boeser’s previous contract, which was $6.65 million per year. This move not only locks in a reliable offensive contributor but also provides cost certainty as the team continues to shape its future.
Boeser’s Role and Recent Performance
At 28 years old, Boeser is coming off one of the most consistent stretches of his NHL career. After setting a personal best in the 2023–24 season with 40 goals and 73 points, he followed up with a solid 2024–25 campaign, posting 18 goals and 37 points in 54 games, despite some injury setbacks.
Boeser, known for his powerful shot and hockey IQ, has emerged as a fan favorite and a locker room leader. His ability to contribute on the power play and in high-pressure situations makes him a cornerstone piece for head coach Rick Tocchet’s system.
A Statement of Loyalty and Vision
During the press conference following the announcement, Boeser spoke candidly about his desire to remain in Vancouver:
“This city has become home to me. I believe in the direction we’re going, and I want to be part of bringing a championship to this team and our fans.”
Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin echoed the sentiment, calling Boeser “an integral part of our long-term vision” and praising his work ethic and character both on and off the ice.
What This Means for the Canucks
With this extension, the Canucks take a significant step in maintaining roster stability amid a competitive Pacific Division. Boeser joins key teammates like Elias Pettersson and Quinn Hughes under long-term contracts, giving Vancouver a solid foundation as they strive for playoff consistency and, ultimately, Stanley Cup contention.
The team will now shift focus to offseason decisions, including potential trades and free-agent signings, but securing Boeser is widely seen as a win—both strategically and symbolically.
