Brock Boeser reportedly has permission to talk to other NHL teams
Vancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser was orignially supposed to be healthy scratch for Saturday night's game against the Arizona Coyotes, but due to a minor injury to Dakota Joshua, the 25-year-old's services were needed.

There's a growing sense that the Canucks and Boeser will part ways at some point leading up to the deadline. During the '32 Thoughts' segment on Hockey Night in Canada, Sportsnet insider Elliotte Friedman revealed that, while it's not confirmed by the agent or management, Boeser has permission to talk to other teams around the NHL.
He added, "Now, Boeser has been struggling, obviously he's got to play better, but I think they're coming to a realization here that maybe it's time to explore this. So, I don't know where it's going to go, but I do think Boeser representatives have permission to talk to other teams, although at this point in time, the team and the agents have not confirmed."
Boeser has had a fairly good start to the 2022-23 campaign, in terms of point production, but his goal scoring isn't close to what it can be, especially when comparing it to previous seasons. In 18 games this season, the Burnsville (Minnesota) native has 14 points (three goals, 11 assists), eight penalty minutes and is a minus-11.
