Tonight Canucks' Head Coach, Bruce Boudreau made the decision to healthy scratch Brock Boeser, who has had a tough start to his season. Boeser has put up 14 points in 18 games this season, but his play away from the puck has left a lot to be desired.
Now according to Elliotte Friedman things in Vancouver have officially gone off the rails. It now appears that the Canucks are finally prepares to enter a full rebuild. So much so that the Canucks have given Brock Boeser's agent permission to seek a trade for his client.
Boeser is in the first year of a three year deal which pays him $6,650,000 per season. This will be an interesting situation to monitor as the Canucks have a lot of money already committed and retaining money might not be a possibility.
Update - Brock Boeser will play tonight due to a minor injury sustained by Dakota Joshua.
