Vancouver Canucks star Brock Boeser hammered by GM Patrik Allvin as extension discussions near

Last season, the Vancouver Canucks made waves in the Western Conference, with several players experiencing career highs. However, one of those players, Brock Boeser, has recently found himself under scrutiny from General Manager Patrik Allvin.

Boeser had an impressive 2023-24 season, recording 40 goals in 81 games, a personal best for the 27-year-old winger. Despite this milestone, Allvin expressed disappointment, suggesting that Boeser could have pushed further. In a candid interview, the Canucks GM remarked:

The comment has certainly raised eyebrows, especially considering Boeser's achievement of breaking the 40-goal barrier, a significant feat in today's NHL.

Boeser's performance wasn't the only topic of discussion. Allvin and the Canucks' coaching staff have made it clear they expect more consistency from the winger, particularly before any contract extension negotiations begin. Boeser has only scored over 20 goals twice since 2019, a fact that now puts considerable pressure on him to maintain or exceed his current form.

Boeser is set to start the upcoming season on the Canucks' top line, alongside J.T. Miller and Nils Hoglander. With such a talented group, the stage is set for him to potentially surpass last season's career high. If Boeser can find that elusive consistency, he might be in line for a substantial contract, further solidifying his place in Vancouver's future.

While Boeser's 40-goal season may have thrilled Canucks fans, it seems the front office is looking for more. As the 2024-25 season approaches, all eyes will be on Boeser to see if he can rise to the challenge and prove his GM wrong by continuing his upward trajectory.
