The Vancouver Canucks signed forward Brock Boeser to a seven-year, $50.75 million contract on Tuesday.
The new deal represents a boost for the unrestricted free agent, who just completed a three-year, $19.95 million contract.
The Canucks also agreed to long-term extensions with goaltender Thatcher Demko and forward Conor Garland.
Demko reached a three-year, $25.5 million deal and Garland committed to a six-year, $36 million contract, general manager Patrik Allvin announced.
Boeser, 28, followed up a career season in 2023-24 by recording 50 points (25 goals, 25 assists) in 75 games in 2024-25. He had 73 points (40 goals, 33 assists) in 81 games over the previous campaign.
Boeser, has totaled 434 points (204 goals, 230 assists) in 554 career games since the Canucks selected him with the 23rd overall pick of the 2015 NHL Draft.
Demko, 29, was entering the final season of a five-year deal after returning from injury to post a 2.90 goals-against-average in 29 games in 2024-25. The two-time All-Star’s new deal is worth $8.5 million per season, a raise of $3.5 million from his old contract.
Demko is 126-89-20 with a 2.80 GAA, a .910 save percentage and nine shutouts in 242 games since the Canucks drafted him in the second round in 2014.
“Thatcher is one of the top goalies in the National Hockey League and a key leader in our locker room,” Allvin said. “His desire to continue his career in Vancouver says a lot about what we are trying to accomplish and where this organization is headed.”
Garland’s new deal increases his annual compensation from $4.95 million to $6 million per year.
Garland, 29, recorded 50 points (19 goals, 31 assists) in 81 games last season. He has 291 points (122 goals, 169 assists) in 485 career games with the Arizona Coyotes (2018-21) and Canucks.
Vancouver entered the offseason with a considerable amount of roster turnover expected due to the free agency of Boeser and fellow forward Pius Suter.
