Brock Boeser reportedly turns down massive extension offer from Vancouver Canucks

Now, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman has detailed a new twist in the story, revealing the contract that Boeser turned down from Vancouver, and it's not a small chunk of change.

According to Friedman, the Canucks' last offer to Boeser was $8 million per season over five years. Whether it's simply because he wanted a change of scenery or because he believes he's worth more on the open market, the veteran forward turned it down.

In six of his eight full seasons in Vancouver, Boeser tallied 20 or more goals with his career high of 40 coming in 81 games a season ago, but with the 28-year-old hitting free agency, it appears as though he's looking to play the market and find the best deal he can.

A deal of that length comes at risk for teams, however, as Boeser has dealt with plenty of health concerns throughout his career. But after playing 71 or more games in four straight seasons, he's worth a lengthy contract.

Whether or not he gets it, now only time will tell, but Boeser has proved himself to be a very consistent goal scorer with 204 in 551 career games. If he's on the way out from Vancouver after turning down five years with an AAV of $8M, expect him to field similar or potentially better offers in the coming months as a free agent.
