Today, we will be continuing my summer series where I look at free agents that are potential targets for the Utah Mammoth.
Today, we look at Brock Boeser from the Vancouver Canucks.
Target: Brock Boeser– RW – 9 Years Experience
At this point, it seems all but certain that Brock Boeser will be leaving the Vancouver Canucks this summer. This past season felt like the final chapter in his time there, and since the year ended, there’s been no real talk of him coming back. With that in mind, the Utah Mammoth should be doing what they can to position themselves as serious contenders for the 28-year-old winger.
Let’s take a closer look at Boeser as a potential free-agent target.
Stats
Boeser played in 75 games this season and finished with 25 goals and 25 assists for 50 points. That’s a noticeable drop from last year, when he posted 73 points in 81 games. Despite that, he’s still a reliable scorer. In the playoffs, he’s played in 29 games over two appearances and has 11 goals and 12 assists for 23 points.
Salary
Boeser is finishing up a three-year deal that carries an AAV of $6.6 million, originally signed back on July 1, 2022. Based on current projections, his next contract is expected to be a seven-year deal worth around $9.1 million per season.
Chances of Signing: 8/10
There’s a legitimate case to be made that the Mammoth are a great fit for Boeser—and the odds of it happening feel fairly high. Utah is quickly becoming one of the most intriguing destinations in the league. With the overwhelmingly positive feedback the organization has received, it’s easy to see why top free agents would be interested.
For Boeser, it’s also a market that could really help him get back to his best. The noise and pressure in Vancouver seemed to get to him at times. Utah offers something completely different—less media attention, less day-to-day scrutiny—and that shift might be exactly what he needs. On top of that, he could find himself playing alongside fellow countryman Clayton Keller and form two-thirds of a top line that could be locked in for years to come.
