VANCOUVER—The Vancouver Canucks have inked restricted free agent Brock Boeser to a three-year contract.
The team announced the 22-year-old right-winger’s new deal on Monday, saying it carries an average annual value of $5.875 million U.S.
Boeser missed training camp in Victoria over the weekend as negotiations continued.
The native of Burnsville, Minn., was the club’s third-leading scorer last season with 26 goals and 30 assists in 69 games.
Originally picked 23rd overall by Vancouver in the 2015 draft, Boeser was an NHL all-star game MVP in 2018 and a finalist for the Calder Trophy in the same season, despite a broken back cutting short his rookie campaign.
The Canucks opened their pre-season schedule Monday night against the Calgary Flames in Victoria and will host the Edmonton Oilers in Vancouver on Tuesday.
