Boeser signed a seven-year, $50.75 million contract ($7.25 million average annual value) shortly after the free agent market opened at noon ET, allowing the 28-year-old forward to continue as the longest-serving Canucks player and stay in a city he said throughout this process he never wanted to leave.

On July 1, the Vancouver Canucks and Brock Boeser agreed to a seven-year extension worth $50.75 million. The new deal will keep the 28-year-old in Vancouver for potentially his entire career, as Boeser has been with the organization since 2015 when they drafted him 23rd overall.

The biggest risk for the Canucks is whether they can find the right playmaking center to unlock the most productive version of Boeser.
