If he takes a 1 year deal at age 28, his agent deserves to be fired. It's unlikely that he'll get $8m x 8 but his agent will be looking to maximize the total value of his contract this summer before that 40 goal season fades too far into the rearview mirror.
With so much cap space floating around this summer, somebody will pay him.

Based on how things are going he may regret not taking that 8M x 5Y deal the Canucks offered, or whatever the alleged subsequent offer close to the deadline was.
And the organization is probably glad he didn't take it, not to mention it wouldn't be the first time a player has saved them from a bad contract by denying it.
Just a mess all around. Hope he regains his form, even if he's going to walk. Typically not a guy that needs many good chances to score but he's missed a lot lately. And for a guy that doesn't create much on his own, he really needs to capitalize on what he gets.

Then it’s good-bye.
Apparently his trade value is nearly zero right now.
He probably would have received $8.5x8 last summer after 40 goals. He’s going to get way, way less than that this summer.
Betting on himself (whether it’s here or elsewhere) isn’t necessarily a bad idea.
But yes, Trotz or someone might still give him a $7x6 golden parachute and he probably will take it. We should be staying the f*** away. He’s had one good half-season in the last 4 years.
yeah it makes no sense for either party.
if he can’t get a long (or even medium) term at good dollars somewhere, then it’s a one year on a team with a killer PP and dedicated playmaking 1C that can promise him a cushy front of the net.
It wont matter much. At the end of the day the crop of free agents is terrible. He's 28 with a recent 40 goal history playoff success and the year isn't over yet. Brock can score goals has a 30g 65pts per 82 career pace and teams will realize this year there was a lot of noise with the top2 C's here.
The prevailing story will be he can bounce back with the right players to slot him with unlike the low IQ grinders he's been saddled with since Miller left and just by sheer lack of competition a rising cap and GMs that think by July1st they can get something to sell to the fans and have optimism he will get something stupid
This notion that he sucks and is going to be lucky to get a good contract or will have to take a 1yr deal to prove his career is not going into the toilet at 28 is wishful thinking.
Certainly any idea that he might get close to what Konecny got has to be gone but teams aways will pay big money for a goal scorer even if he's pretty one dimensional.
Hopefully Boeser is willing to go shorter term and offer some concessions but i would bet after round 2 of trying to trade him and him being friends with Miller and the fact he's got no C to play with that suits his playstyle he probably walks his way to a better situation with more money

Debrusk got 5.5 by 7 after a 40 point season. Would actually be surprised if Boeser didn’t get 7+ and probably more on a long term deal given that he’s scored 40 last year and given how much the cap is rising.
Definitely don’t want to ge the team to give him that contract though given his lack of chemistry with Pettersson.

he'll get the 8x7 from somebody. then will be out of the league in 2-3 years due to being "slow" buyout proof. you can bookmark this when the time comes and i'll be right. he wont ever score 40 again. 25 at least.
Brock is what I would term a 'complimentary' scorer. He just doesn't have the foot-speed to beat anyone one-on-one. He relies on a center to get him the puck in a shooting area.
Unfortunately with Miller gone, there's nobody on the Canucks who can get him the puck with time and space. I would imagine he'll sign somewhere in the off-season with a team that has some size or speed down the middle. Who knows, it might even the Rangers re-uniting him with Miller.
So he's legitimate 'bounce-back' candidate somewhere, much like Tyler Tofoli. He's not the greatest skater either, but has a knack for scoring goals. Those kind of players will always get another shot somewhere.
