All the attention ahead of the trade deadline in Vancouver is on J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson, but now, it appears that Brock Boeser may be on the way out too.

The past few weeks in Vancouver have been non-stop drama, and after star forward J.T. Miller was called out by his Head Coach, it appears the team are on the cusp of a potentially franchise-altering trade.

Speculation has been running rampant on both Miller and teammate Elias Pettersson, but according to top insider Nick Kypreos, it may be another All-Star teammate that's moved in 2024/25.

«I don't feel they're in a position to rent their own player this season, which makes it far more likely than not Boeser gets traded before the deadline.»

With Boeser set to be a free agent in the summer, it leaves Vancouver with a major dilemma, as he has been very solid for the team over the past few years, tallying a career high 40 goals a season ago, but with injuries mounting up, perhaps getting an asset in return now is the best possible play.

On top of that, Boeser recorded a season low ice-time during Thursday's loss to the Los Angeles Kings, and with the team clearly needing a culture shift given the off-ice drama and poor body language seen during this game, anyone but Quinn Hughes could be in play.

Ultimately, the Canucks need to decide whether or not 27-year old Brock Boeser is a huge part of their future or not, and if they decide a long-term deal isn't going to be worth it, don't be shocked to see both he and Miller/Pettersson on the way out as Vancouver look to retool for a Stanley Cup run.
