The Vancouver Canucks have renewed their efforts to re-sign Brock Boeser, who is set to enter free agency on July 1st. Meanwhile, the Carolina Hurricanes may be keen on securing Brent Burns once more, with head coach Rod Brind’Amour appreciating his presence and potentially offering a low-end contract. In New York, teams have been inquiring about Mathew Barzal, as John Tavares previously opted for a cap-friendly $4.38 million deal instead of seeking a higher salary in free agency. The Toronto Maple Leafs are also eyeing a lengthy contract for Matthew Knies, possibly four or five years, potentially exceeding $7 million annually, influenced by recent comparable contracts.
