After a decade with the organization, it looks like Brock Boeser will not be re-signing with the Vancouver Canucks. In an article posted by Iain MacIntyre of "Sportsnet", Boeser admitted that it is unlikely that he will return to the Canucks for the 2025-26 season. The unrestricted free agent was drafted by Vancouver 23rd overall in 2015 and has spent his entire NHL career with the organization.

In MacIntyre's article, Boeser was quoted as saying, "Honestly, it's unlikely at this point," he told us. "It sucks, it's unfortunate. I'm just trying to play good hockey, and then I'll worry about everything after that. We all know it's been a roller coaster of a year. There's been a lot of different things."
Boeser also revealed he hasn't spoken to his agent, Ben Hankinson, in a while, and was quoted as saying, "Yeah, I'm refusing to talk to Hank right now," he said. "I feel like I'm playing a lot better hockey recently, and I don't want to get distracted. That's one of the things I've learned: when there's distractions, I don't play my best hockey. The mental aspect of the game is so important. This year, there's been a lot of distractions."
While Boeser has struggled at times this season, he does lead the team with 25 goals and is one point shy of hitting 50 points for the third straight season. Over his 550 games with the organization, Boeser ranks eighth all-time in goals with 204, while his 433 points rank 12th. Boeser has also delievered for the Canucks in the playoffs, posting 11 goals and 23 points in 29 games.
Boeser will go down as one of the organization's top fan favourites. Since the article was posted, the fan base has expressed disappointment, as many hoped he would play his entire career in Vancouver. There are also many asking why the Canucks did not trade him at the deadline, as it would have netted Vancouver some assets.
Canucks fans will get three more opportunities to cheer on Boeser at Rogers Arena. Vancouver takes on the Minnesota Wild on March 12, the San Jose Sharks on March 14 and the Vegas Golden Knights on March 16. All three games should feature plenty of #6 jerseys in the crowd as fans cheer on one of the franchise's most dynamic goal-scorers for the last time.
