SIGNATURE ALERT: The Vancouver Canucks sign offensively oriented forwards!

The rumor was running this morning that the Vancouver Canucks were making an attempt to sign Brock Boeser. 

Consider it done as it has been officially announced on the Vancouver Canucks twitter account. They confirmed the signing of forward Brock Boeser. He’ll play today against the Wild and will wear No. 6

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.

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.”
