Boeser, who will enter his 10th season with Vancouver and is its longest-tenured player, had said he didn't expect to return.
"Honestly, it's unlikely at this point," he told Sportsnet in a story posted April 10. "It [stinks]. It's unfortunate. I'm just trying to play good hockey and then I'll worry about everything after that. We all know it's been a roller coaster of a year. There's been a lot of different things."
Boeser had 40 goals and a career-high 73 points in 2023-24.
Selected by Vancouver in the first round (No. 23) at the 2015 NHL Draft, Boeser has 434 points (204 goals, 230 assists) in 554 regular-season games and 23 points (11 goals, 12 assists) in 29 Stanley Cup Playoff games.
On Tuesday, the Canucks also signed goalie Thatcher Demko (three years, $25.5 million) and forward Conor Garland (six years, $36 million); each contract begins with the 2026-27 season. Demko and Garland each could have become an unrestricted free agent after this season.
“I think that's where the realization of you becoming a UFA and you start thinking about, you know, 'Should I leave?'” Allvin said. “I also think (Brock) had a vacation trip overseas that he got back here the other day, and we got in talking again, but the conversation between me and [his agent] Ben Hankinson has always been good. Ben is very professional, very transparent and I know probably a couple players reached out and talked to Brock over the time here, and he was aware that we were getting closer on Demko and Garland as well.”
