Brock Boeser: our analysis

2025-26 season: 75 GP, 22 G, 26 A, 48 PTS, -48 +/-, 19:03 TOI. WAR -0.2 (487th of 615) · PAL 12, very poor.

In 2025-26, Brock Boeser, 29, posts a PAL Rating of 12 out of 100 (very poor), and his WAR of -0.2 ranks 487th among 615 regulars, in the bottom quarter.

His strengths: power play (81, well above average), penalty kill (70, above average) and offense (69, above average). On the other hand, possession (1, among the weakest in the league) and defense (6, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.

Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: power play (+0.8); his biggest cost: EV defense (-3.5).

A marked decline: his PAL was 29 in 2024-25, against 12 now; his WAR went from 1.5 to -0.2.

Contract-wise, his Value score of 5 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.

Brock Boeser's story

Growing up in Burnsville, Minnesota, Brock Boeser made a name for himself as a natural goal scorer early on. After a brief stint with the Sioux City Musketeers, he was traded to the Waterloo Black Hawks and in 2014–15 led the USHL with 35 goals, earning spots on the All-Rookie First Team and the First All-Star Team.

Selected 23rd overall by the Vancouver Canucks in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, Boeser opted for collegiate development with the University of North Dakota. As a freshman in 2015–16 he helped UND capture the NCAA Division I title, put up 60 points to finish third in the nation in scoring and was named a First Team All-American. He returned for a sophomore year, recording 34 points but missing time with a wrist injury before turning pro after North Dakota’s 2017 NCAA exit.

Boeser signed his entry-level deal on 25 March 2017 and scored in his NHL debut later that day against the Minnesota Wild. His rookie season included a November 4, 2017 hat trick, back-to-back Rookie of the Month honours in November and December, and an appearance at the 2018 NHL All-Star Game where he earned MVP honours and won the accuracy shooting contest. A March 2018 back injury sidelined him for the close of that campaign despite his strong production.

In the years that followed he experienced ups and downs through injuries—a groin issue in 2018–19 and a rib injury in February 2020—but also key contract renewals with Vancouver in 2019 and 2022, and a seven-year extension announced on 1 July 2025. He was effective in the 2020 playoffs with four goals and 11 points in 17 games. The 2023–24 season brought multiple milestones: two natural hat tricks, a second All-Star selection, a career-high 40-goal season and a playoff hat trick in April 2024, though a blood-clotting issue curtailed his postseason.

Internationally Boeser represented the United States at junior events including the 2014 Ivan Hlinka tournament and the 2016 World Junior Championships, where he had three points in seven games as the U.S. won bronze. On the ice he is characterised by finishing ability and an accurate shot—traits reflected in his scoring titles, multiple hat tricks and his accuracy contest victory.
