“Hockey Shakeup: Insider Buzz on Canucks, Flyers, and Canadiens’ Franchise Moves”
As free agency rears its enticing head, Vancouver Canucks’ forward Brock Boeser finds himself at a critical juncture. With the Canucks expected to cap his contract extension at a cautious five years and $8 million annually, it seems all roads are leading Boeser to open the door to a bidding war come free agency time. Here’s where things get interesting: several teams, hungry for goals, have their sights set on this scoring sensation. From the Boston Bruins to the Calgary Flames, and not to forget the Ducks, Utah Hockey Club, Red Wings, Blackhawks, Flyers, Sabres, and even the Islanders… the list is impressive. Each franchise has its own reasons, ranging from retooling on the fly to simply boosting their offensive firepower. And let’s not overlook the looming shadow of Mitch Marner who might shake up the market if he decides to test the waters.
If you’ve been following the NHL, you’ll know just how critical cap space can be, which makes Boeser’s potential move one of the most talked about this season.
Who could be interested in Brock Boeser?
Luke Fox of Sportsnet: Can’t see the Vancouver Canucks offering pending UFA Brock Boeser more than five years at $8 million. Since it’s gone this far, he’s likely heading to the open market and there will be teams looking for a 25-40 goal man.
