A new report has come to the surface that indicates where exactly it is expected Vancouver Canucks pending UFA and former 40-goal scorer Brock Boeser is going to sign his next contract.
All season long, the Vancouver Canucks have been worried about the possibility of star forward and fan favorite Brock Boeser not returning for the next coming years.
New York Rangers considered front runner to land Vancouver Canucks star Brock Boeser
The organization was at a crossroads at the NHL trade deadline, where they really only had two options.
They could either trade him and get a good return for a player you are going to lose anyway, or sign him to a contract extension that keeps him a Canucks for the remainder of his career.
Either way, a decision that would prove a positive for the Canucks... So we thought.
Unfortunately, general manager Patrik Allvin decided not to choose either of those two options and did nothing, which really sparked a ton of criticism from the media and fan base.

Now, not coming to a deal, Boeser is an unrestricted Free-Agent, where he can listen to all available offers and choose the next team he wants to play for.
A new report by Arthur Staple of the Athletic indicates that the New York Rangers are now front runners to land the former 40-goal scorer.
Staple explains that Boeser Would like to be reunited with former Vancouver Canucks and now New York Ranger returnee JT Miller. It appears that both players enjoyed playing with one another in Vancouver and adding a scoring winger like Boeser would help the Rangers solve their offensive woes.
According the the report, the team would bring him in on a modified bridge deal, worth $18 million dollars.
The likelihood of this occurring is quite low as it is already reported the Canucks offered more than this and was declined, so for Boeser to pack up and move his entire life for it is a low, low chance.
