The 25-year-old right winger agreed to a three-year contract worth $6.65 million annually, the team announced Friday. Boeser, who hails from Burnsville, Minn., had 46 points (23 goals, 23 assists) in 71 games last season. At the end of the campaign, he told reporters that he was struggling with the declining health of his father, Duke, who died in late May after a long battle with cancer and Parkinson’s disease. The 6-foot-2, 208-pound Boeser has played 324 regular-season games for Vancouver, tallying 256 points (121 goals, 135 assists) and 88 penalty minutes. The Canucks selected the former Calder Trophy finalist 23rd overall in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. “He is a very talented player and has been an effective scorer throughout his career,” Canucks general manager Patrick Alvin said in a statement. “We look forward to seeing his game progress over the next few years. “Now that his contract is in effect for three seasons, Brock can turn his full attention to his performance on the ice.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published on July 1, 2022.
