The Vancouver Canucks are taking a patient approach regarding forward Brock Boeser's contract extension. Boeser, who is in the final year of a three-year deal worth $6.5 million annually, expressed his desire to focus on proving himself this season after a disappointing playoff exit.

Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman indicated that while the Canucks have not rushed negotiations, they recognize the necessity of retaining Boeser, especially given his significant contributions to the team's offense. The outcome of this season's performance will likely influence the terms of any future contract.
