I can tell you the buzz around Brock Boeser is deafening as the NHL trade deadline approaches. With just hours until the 3 p.m. ET cutoff, Vancouver Canucks’ star forward Brock Boeser is the name on everyone’s lips. According to NHL insiders, including a recent tweet from Frank Seravalli, trade talks for Boeser are “picking up,” and a move is “more likely than not” before the clock strikes 3PM. But will the Canucks pull the trigger, or will Boeser remain in Vancouver?
Boeser, a 28-year-old right-winger drafted 23rd overall in 2015, has been a cornerstone for the Canucks since his debut. This season, he’s showcased his elite scoring ability, making him a prime target for playoff-contending teams. However, with Boeser set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason and no contract extension in sight, Vancouver faces a critical decision. Do they risk losing him for nothing, or cash in on a player whose value is high?
Why Brock Boeser’s Trade Value is Skyrocketing Ahead of 3PM ET
From my perspective, Boeser’s trade value is high for several reasons. First, his offensive production—consistently hovering near or above 30 goals per season—makes him a top-six winger any contender would covet. Second, the Canucks’ current playoff positioning, just inside the Western Conference wild-card spot, adds urgency. If Vancouver believes they can’t re-sign him long-term, trading him for assets like draft picks or prospects makes strategic sense. Recent deals suggest a first-round pick and prospect could be the return.
I’ve heard whispers from league executives that teams like the Carolina Hurricanes are in the mix, who would be desperate for Boeser’s scoring touch if Mikko Rantanen is traded. But the Canucks’ front office, led by Patrik Allvin, has a history of bold moves, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they keep Boeser to bolster their playoff push.
As the deadline ticks closer, Brock Boeser rumors dominate watercooler talk and social media. Will Vancouver trade their longest-tenured Canuck, or will Boeser stay to chase a postseason run? Check back here for real-time updates—I’ll be glued to my phone until 3PM ET.
