Canucks UFA Salaries Projected By Analytics - More Money Than Expected

AFP Analytics recently released extension projections for several key Vancouver Canucks unrestricted free agents, providing fans and analysts with some intriguing numbers to consider:
While these are purely analytical projections, they offer valuable insights into potential market values and help set expectations for both management and fans.
Boeser's projected contract aligns with what many have anticipated-a deal starting with an $8 million AAV.
However, with only 28 points in 38 games this season, Boeser's production hasn't been up to the level expected of a player commanding this price tag.
The 26-year-old winger, coming off a career-best 40-goal season, has struggled to find consistency this year, which could impact negotiations.
Some speculate the lack of an extension might indicate the Canucks are keeping their options open. If the team finds itself out of the playoff race, Boeser could become a high-value trade chip at the deadline.
At just over $3 million annually, Lankinen's projection is a reasonable deal for a reliable backup goaltender.
The Finnish netminder has stepped up during
Thatcher Demko's absences, providing solid performances when called upon.
Securing Lankinen for two more years could give the Canucks stability in the crease without breaking the bank.
Suter's projection of $3.8 million over four years highlights his importance as a versatile two-way center.
Suter has contributed key secondary scoring while being defensively responsible, making him a valuable piece for the Canucks' middle six.
While these projections provide a baseline, actual contract values will depend on performance, team direction, and cap considerations.
For the Canucks, the next few months will be pivotal in determining whether these players remain part of their long-term plans-or become assets to reshape the roster.
