Brock Boeser is back in Vancouver Canucks trade rumours, and the stakes feel personal because his new deal already looks heavy.
The Olympic break arrived with Boeser sitting at 12-13-25 in 50 games, a pace that screams “down year” for a winger paid to finish.
That context is why the “could they still trade him” question won’t die.
Boeser just started a seven-year extension worth $7.25 million per season, and every GM in the league sees the length before they see the player.
There’s also the reality that Vancouver’s season has gone sideways as a whole, so one player’s numbers do not tell the full story.

Still, the contract comes with a full no-movement clause this season and for the next three seasons.
That means Boeser controls the steering wheel, not the front office.
The wrinkle is that Conor Garland gets mentioned as movable, even though his production pace has been in the same neighborhood.
Garland sits at 7-18-25 in 46 games, and he went ice-cold in January while Boeser had a small push before another concussion.
Brock Boeser puts the Vancouver Canucks in a bind
Canucks fans sound exhausted, not angry, because it feels like every option costs something right now.
If you’re trying to sell a buyer on Boeser, you’re selling the bet on a bounceback more than the 2025-26 tape.
The bet is not crazy, since Boeser’s game is built on hands and timing, not pure foot speed.
He also owns real playoff receipts, with 11 goals and 23 points in 29 postseason games.
That’s top-six finishing you can picture on a man advantage, parked off the flank, ready to one-time a pass.
So should Vancouver move him if there’s a clean offer and Boeser agrees to it.
Probably, because the later years of the deal could collide with a younger core needing raises, and cap space disappears fast when you finally start winning again.
But the Canucks also cannot pay to dump him, because that would be admitting the extension was a mistake before the ink even dries.
The smartest path might be patience, hope for a rebound stretch, and revisit the market closer to March 6 if the ask improves.
