He Vancouver Canucks general manager continued his recent parade of interviews with local media members by sitting down for <a href="https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/qa-with-canucks-gm-patrik-allvin-on-winning-pettersson-and-practice-habits/">a Q+A</a> with Sportsnet&#8217;s Iain MacIntyre during the YoungStars Classic in Penticton over the weekend.

Boeser, whose status as a pending UFA has already garnered plenty of discussion and attention nearly a full year before his contract expires, is coming off a career-best year in which he racked up 40 goals and 73 points in 81 games.
On the heels of <a href="https://canucksarmy.com/news/canucks-gm-patrik-allvin-wants-brock-boeser-to-be-even-more-consistent-in-2024-25">an interview</a> with Thomas Drance in which he said he wants Boeser to become &#8220;even more consistent&#8221; in 2024-25, Allvin admitted to MacIntyre that the Canucks will have to make a decision on how to handle the 27-year-old winger before the 2025 trade deadline.
<blockquote>MacIntyre: What about Boeser, who is in the final year of his contract?
Allvin: Brock, first and foremost, we&#8217;re really pleased to see him trending towards being cleared and healthy here (after developing blood clots during the playoffs). And I&#8217;m glad for him that everything has gone well. That being said, I&#8217;m expecting him to continue where he finished off last year, find the consistency and play good hockey for us. I have a good relationship with his agent, Ben Hankinson, and we&#8217;ll see when the time is right.
MacIntyre: But you have to make a decision before the trade deadline, right?
Allvin: Yeah.</blockquote>
The Canucks originally selected Boeser with the No. 23 overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft. The 6&#8217;1&#8243; right wing enjoyed a stellar tenure at the University of North Dakota before turning pro with the Canucks in 2017.
After an excellent start to his NHL career in Vancouver, Boeser endured a bit of a downturn in the early 2020s amidst a series of health issues and family tragedies. However, the Burnsville, Minnesota product enjoyed a resurgent season last year, finishing fourth on the Pacific Division-winning Canucks in scoring.
Boeser&#8217;s current contract, which he signed on Canada Day in 2022, carries a $6.65 million cap hit. He is the only core piece of the Canucks&#8217; roster whose existing deal is slated to expire in 2025.
The Canucks are scheduled to kick off the 2024-25 regular season when they take on the Calgary Flames at Rogers Arena on October 9.
