Boeser's agent confirms more than half-a-dozen teams interested in the 25-year-old

It's been a whirlwind of a week for Vancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser. Originally, he was supposed to be a healthy scratch on Saturday night, with head coach Bruce Boudreau calling it ''tough love''. Boeser ended up drawing into the lineup after Dakota Joshua, his replacement, suffered an injury prior to the warm-up.

During Saturday's edition of '32 Thoughts' on Hockey Night in Canada, Sportsnet insider Elliotte Friedman mentioned that, while it wasn't confirmed at the time, the Canucks granted Brock Boeser's agent permission to speak with other teams to try and find a fit.

According to TSN's Pierre LeBrun, Boeser's agent Ben Hankinson has confirmed that he has spoken with more than six teams regarding his client's availability, but nothing appears to be imminent.

LeBrun went on to add that there is one team that is serious about trading for Boeser, but they want the Canucks to eat a portion of his contract, something Vancouver isn't keen on doing at this time.

Boeser, a native of Burnsville (Minnesota), is under contract for the next two seasons after the 2022-23 campaign with a cap hit of $6.65 million per year.

In 20 games this season, Boeser has put up 16 points (four goals, 12 assists), ten penalty minutes and is a minus-14.
