Brock Boeser has just rejected the latest contract offer presented to him by the Canucks, as fans have been made aware of just exactly how much he was to receive. The Vancouver Canucks and Brock Boeser have <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/vancouver-canucks/brock-boeser-publicly-calls-out-the-canucks-regarding-ongoing-contract-negotiations' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>a deadline to come to an agreement on a new deal.</a> <h3>Brock Boeser is a UFA on July 1st</h3> The winger hits unrestricted free-agent status on July 1, and the Canucks would prefer that the two sides come to an agreement prior to the March 7 trade deadline, so that he is not lost for nothing. That gives both sides a week to get there before pressure for a trade is applied. The delay? Term. The Canucks can offer only eight years, but would preferably like it shorter. Vancouver has made a five-year, $40 million proposal, which would make Boeser the second-highest-paid forward on the team behind Elias Pettersson, Daily Faceoff's <a href='https://x.com/frank_seravalli' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Frank Seravalli</a> reports. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/CanucksArmy/status/1895520371857899548'> </a></blockquote></div> Although the $8 million AAV is a minor increase from <a href='https://puckpedia.com/player/brock-boeser' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>his current $6.65 million yearly salary</a>, Boeser reportedly is seeking term, not money, which is why he has said no thank you to the five-year offer. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/DailyHiveVan/status/1895530994926829642'> </a></blockquote></div> <a href='https://www.nhl.com/canucks/player/brock-boeser-8478444' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Boeser</a> comes after a 40-goal season and is on pace for approximately 30 this season. The injury problems that plagued him in the early part of his career have all but vanished, although he was out for the last playoffs due to blood clots. Nonetheless, Vancouver is uncertain about his long-term future because his skating speed is already in the lower 50th percentile of NHL wingers, <a href='https://edge.nhl.com/en/home' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>per NHL Edge data.</a> If no deal is agreed to, the Canucks may try to make a trade, but it may be for less than they would like. With Boeser being a pending UFA, his market may not be robust, and Vancouver does not wish to subtract from their playoff chase, Sportsnet's <a href='https://x.com/FriedgeHNIC' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Elliotte Friedman</a> reports. With days left, the negotiations ought to be more earnest. Regardless of whether Boeser stays or leaves via trade, an important choice awaits.
