In a shocking twist only 30 minutes into the 2025 NHL Free Agency period, Brock Boeser signed a seven-year, $7.25M AAV contract with the Vancouver Canucks. His signing came after a tumultuous season of uncertainty regarding his fate.

The biggest risk for the Canucks is whether they can find the right playmaking center to unlock the most productive version of Boeser.

Boeser signed a seven-year, $50.75 million contract ($7.25 million average annual value) shortly after the free agent market opened at noon ET, allowing the 28-year-old forward to continue as the longest-serving Canucks player and stay in a city he said throughout this process he never wanted to leave.
