The Vancouver Canucks have a busy offseason ahead of them, but the biggest task right now is for general manager Jim Benning to sign RFA forward Brock Boeser to a new contract.
After a strong 2017-18 season that saw him score 29 goals and 55 points, Boeser followed it up with a productive sophomore year — tallying 26 goals and 56 points. Simply put, the man has earned himself a generous raise.
However, Sportsnet’s Irfaan Gaffar reported Thursday morning that the Canucks and Boeser aren’t anywhere “close” on a new contract.
#Canucks and Boeser camp expected to meet again soon.
