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 is “super stoked to be back” after re-signing with the Vancouver Canucks. “At the end of the day, my heart was still in Vancouver,” Boeser said. “When they called, I lit up,” he said of his agent getting a call from Canucks general manager, Patrick Allvin.
