It appears as though Canucks' restricted free agent Brock Boeser and his agent are playing hardball. Matt Sekeres, a host with TSN Radio in Vancouver, is reporting Boeser's camp turned down a six-year, $42 million dollar deal with the team. That would be $7 million per season.

The deal would be a tough one for Vancouver, as the team only has a little over $4 million in cap space, although more can be gained through long-term injury reserve and by sending contracts to the minors. Boeser's highest points-per-season total so far is 56 (26 goals, 30 assists last season).
It was reported earlier this week that Boeser and the Canucks are still not close on a new agreement. The 22-year-old is listed on Vancouver's training camp roster, although it's very unlikely that he shows up until a new contract is in place.
