The Canucks managed to re-sign Brock Boeser to a seven-year contract despite all signs pointing toward him departing in free agency.

Brock Boeser Was Canucks' Plan B, Claims NHL Insider originally appeared on Athlon Sports. For weeks, it looked like Brock Boeser was done with the Vancouver Canucks. By late June, multiple reports pegged him as a “longshot” to re-sign.

Brock Boeser signed a seven-year, $50.75 million contract to remain with the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday. It has an average annual value of $7.25 million. The 28-year-old forward, who was an unrestricted free agent, had 50 points (25 goals, 25 assists) in 75 games for the Canucks last season.
