4 years would be great but probably won’t happen at his age and injury history. Guy needs guaranteed $$ for as long as he can. Any other players at his age/production that have signed for anything less than 6 year deals?

Ya the consistency makes it a massive question mark. moving in season could work. If team is doing well, I could see them keeping him to maintain chemistry. Would suck to lose him for nothing at FA.

If we wait and he continues to produce, we could be kicking ourselves for not extending him earlier at a cheaper price.

If he scores 40 again, I don't see him getting locked up for only 7.5M. Likely 8M or more. Jeff Skinner got 9Mx8 after his only 40 goal season. t's unfortunate that his history likely will force us to have to wait to see how he produces. If he regresses, he could be a player that could fetch around 5M for 7-8 years... If he becomes a 40G scorer again, then he's likely getting 8M+ (likely around 9M+ in free agency). If we trade him now, we are accepting that the team will regress and playoffs become a question mark. However, his value now could be higher than ever. If he regresses, then his value plummets and playoffs are a question mark either way. Signing him now could make him an insane bargain for the next 7 years (if he continues to produce like this season), or kill our cap situation for the next 7 years.

Honestly, any decision (extending or trading) with Boes is risky... but could pay off massively. If it were up to me, I'd offer him an 8 year contract for around 5-6M a season. This is similar to a RNH contract (8 years with a 5.125M cap hit). If he turns it down and is looking for anything over 7M for that length, then trade him for a Necas type player. No matter what, PA is going to lose more hair over this guy.

Saw an article that reminded me that this is the last year of BB6's current contract... and I'm curious what the plans with him are going forward. It's hard to gauge exactly the contract we should give him based on his history: Career timeline: 2017/18 season - Runner up for ROTY March 2018 - Massive Back injury 2018-2020 - Regresses in production 2020-21 season - Starts coming back to form and nearly a PPG player (49 points in 56 games) 2021-22 season - Father's is succumbed to Parkinson's disease and cancer, which takes a massive toll on Brock emotionally and mentally and his production declines again. 2022-23 season - Brock struggles to produce (18 goals), and is given permission to seek trade, but there are no takers. 2023-24 season - Brock's best season to date. 40 goals and 73 points. The most healthy he's been in a season as well. 2024 playoffs - Brock is a point per game player in the playoffs. May 2024 - Blood clots force Brock out for the rest of playoffs Injury history: 2018 - Boeser suffered a non-displaced fracture of his back (season ending injury) 2018 - Groin injury keeps him in and out of lineup until early November. Forced to miss all of November to recover. 2019 - Suffered a concussion from a hit by Tierny, only missed preseason but took him awhile to get back to form 2020 - Suffered a broken rib in February that kept him out for 6 weeks. 2021 - Undisclosed injury forced him to miss a few games at the start of the season 2021 - Contracts COVID that kept him out for several weeks 2022 - Undisclosed Upper Body injury forces him to miss 2 weeks 2022 - Hand surgery from a Training camp injury 2024 - Blood clots To say that the odds are STACKED against Boeser is putting it lightly. He's the longest standing Canucks and I'd love to see him stay in Blue for the foreseeable future as Miller and Boeser the most deadly combo we have seen in a long time. We're not sure the Boeser we're going to get after these blood clots... I know we're all praying for the 2023/24 Boeser to return, but I know there's fear that he will regress again. At this point in his career, there's no doubt that Boeser is going to want to sign a short-term contract but will be looking for the 7-8 year guaranteer many players at his age are looking for. So I'm curious do you: A) Extend Boeser this summer - This is a high risk/high reward scenario. If we sign him now, it means that we could potentially get him cheaper then we would in the future if he has another season similar to this one. But how much do you try to sign him for over the 6-8 years? B) Wait until the end of the season to decide - This can also be seen as a high risk/high reward scenario. Boeser could produce like this previous season, forcing his price to go up (forcing us to spend 8M+ to keep him around). Alternatively, poor play could allow his price to drop. This also opens up the potential for Boeser to hit free agency. C) Decide at the trade deadline - If he regresses, trade him for a mid-round pick. If he continues to excel, attempt to extend him at a higher price than he would be currently. D) Trade Boeser while his value is high - This means we would be trading Boeser this summer. But what would that package look like? - This would also force the team to regress next year unless we can obtain a player similar to Boeser's skill level. I think there's a lot of unknown with Boes but expecting him to sign anything less then a 6 year contract is unrealistic. If we extend him, I'd have mixed feelings. I love the player, but what if his production drops again and suddenly we have him for 8 seasons at an albatross contract. Is that a risk you're willing to take, or is it time to move on from BB6?

In this the first Ducks signing?

Sorry didn’t see it Already posted

I agree with both. That lineup looks deadly

He wishes he was JT Millers level

I think this would be an opportune time to buy low, while meeting team needs with both Roslovic and Boqvist. Roslovic is RH center man that is 6’1, 198lb. At 27 years old he had 31 points in 59 games last season, and 8 points in 16 games in the playoffs. Getting another right-handed Center gives us so many more options. He could slot in between Garland and Joshua for a dominant 3rd line. Boqvist is a RH offensive defenseman that is 23 years old. Had 10 points in 35 games this year. But could be a great option as the 6th/7th dman as he still has some upside.
