RUMOR: Vancouver Canucks are making an attempt to sign highly praised forward!

RUMOR: Team playing in 3 hours are making an attempt to sign highly praised forward!

"VAN plays in MIN in 3 hours...hearing Canucks are making an attempt to sign Brock Boeser. Interesting to see if he's there," tweeted Sportsnet insider Elliotte Friedman.

Bob McKenzie also raised this possibility a few weeks ago. Brock Boeser is a 20-year-old right winger that mainly played for the University of North Dakota. The 6ft1, 191 pounds scored 15 goals and registered 16 assists in 29 games in the NCAA leagues.

Interesting fact, Brock Boeser could be in the Vancouver Canucks' lineup as soon as this year to join the push for playoffs. As soon as the NCAA season is over on April 9th, Boeser could join the Canucks.

As per Hockey’s Future, Boeser “has great puck skills, an accurate shot and a very quick release. He is an excellent passer as well. Like most young, offensively oriented forwards, he needs to work on the defensive aspects of his game. He will need to bulk up to be able to dominate at the NCAA level. Long term Boeser projects as second or third line winger with scoring ability and a two-way game.”
