Boeser, 25, played 71 regular-season games for the Canucks last season, posting 23 goals and 23 assists for 46 points. 

"We're very happy to have worked out a new deal for Brock," Canucks GM Patrik Alvin said Friday in a statement released by the team. "He is a very talented player and has been an effective goal scorer throughout his entire career. We look forward to seeing his game progress in the years to come. Now that his contract is in place for three seasons, Brock can shift his entire focus to his on-ice performance." 

Boeser was selected with the No. 23 overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft by the Canucks. He's played six seasons in Vancouver, making the All-Star Game in 2018.
