The future of Vancouver Canucks winger Brock Boeser was in the air before the situation involving J.T. Miller heated up throughout the weekend, but it's now under heavier scrutiny. According to a report from The Athletic,

As the NHL trade deadline approaches, the Columbus Blue Jackets have surfaced as a potential destination for Vancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser as his contract talks with the franchise have failed to advance.

The Canucks are approaching a crossroads with pending UFA star Brock Boeser. What would be the pros and cons of Vancouver making him a trade asset?

Hyman put Edmonton ahead 1-0 at 5:52 of the first period, taking a long lead pass from Draisaitl up the left boards at the blue line, cutting across at the dot while keeping Hronek on his back and scoring glove side on Demko.

Here are the predicted contract values for Brock Boeser and the other Vancouver Canucks free agents this summer.

Boeser, who is in the final season of a three-year, $19.95 million contract carrying a $6.65 million cap hit, has tallied 15 goals and 12 assists for 27 points in 37 games. While Boeser's numbers are respectable, his production is down compared to last season’s 40-goal, 73-point campaign.

If the Canucks and Boeser can’t come to an agreement before the summer, they risk losing him for nothing. That’s why he’s a candidate to be traded if there’s no new deal before the March 7 trade deadline. Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin has admitted as much in past interviews.

While a Brock Boeser trade doesn't seem likely even with the forward set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer, this Eastern Conference team could be a fit.

Zach Hyman had two goals and an assist, Leon Draisaitl had a goal and two assists and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Vancouver Canucks 6-2.

All five of those players are still on the Canucks’ roster, which is only missing Elias Lindholm, acquired on the eve of All-Star Weekend, of the six that went to the All-Star Game. And yet, the team they’re on now is unrecognizable.

Canucks fans are a little spoiled as they get to watch Hughes on a nightly basis. He pulls off moves that few players in the world can do while making it look easy. While the moves look spectacular from a distance, they are also stunning from ice level, according to Boeser.

Vancouver Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin says he’s open to making a trade — as long as the deal makes sense for the team.
