Vancouver Canucks free-agent-to-be Brock Boeser did not rule out the possibility of returning to the club next season. Boeser is apparently amenable to signing a contract extension following recent comments suggesting his time was done in Vancouver.Canucks beat reporter Noah Strang quoted Brock Boeser, stating:“You never know what can happen. We’ll see what happens. Like I said, I’m sure I’ll talk with my agent after the season and see if anything can come to an agreement or not."The comments point toward a potential reconciliation between Boeser and the Canucks as the club heads into its final game of the season against the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday night.Boeser added:“I'll just try to take [tonight] in with my teammates and I mean, you really never know at the end of the day so I don't really want to fully think that it could be my last game.”Brock Boeser is looking to finish the season strong after falling short of individual and collective expectations. The 28-year-old winger has 25 goals on the season, down from last year’s career-high 40 tallies.Nevertheless, he’ll be looking to end the season with a bang. Boeser concluded his thoughts by stating:"I'm just going to take it as another game and finish the year."Given Brock Boeser’s down year, it might be challenging for both sides to agree on a new contract, both in terms of length and value. It remains to be seen if both sides can hammer out an extension ahead of the July 1st free-agency period.Projecting Brock Boeser’s next contract with Vancouver CanucksBoeser is coming off a down year but will be looking for a max-term deal this offseason - Source: ImagnAssuming Brock Boeser re-signs with the Vancouver Canucks, it will be for more than the reported five-year, $40 million Boeser turned down earlier this season.According to a piece by Sports Illustrated from March 2, insider Frank Seravalli reported that the Canucks had put a deal with an $8 million AAV on the table this season. However, the sticking point seems to be that Boeser is looking for a max-term deal, that is, an eight-year contract.If the dollar value is not an issue, then, as Seravalli pointed out, the issue will be finding a happy medium between five and eight years. Perhaps something in the neighborhood of a six or seven-year deal could be more palatable to both sides.Boeser signed two, three-year deals with the Canucks, keeping him in Vancouver throughout his entire career. However, Boeser seems pressed to sign a long-term deal as he is running out of time to land a major contract.Ultimately, Boeser may be inclined to test the free agent market to see if there are any teams interested in meeting his contract demands.
