Vancouver Canucks re-sign winger Brock Boeser to new seven-year deal

(AP Photo/Mark J. Terrill) VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks have re-signed one of their top scorers, inking right-winger Brock Boeser to a seven-year, US$50.75-million deal. The team announced the new contract about half an hour after the NHL's free agency period opened on Tuesday and the 28-year-old from Burnsville, Minn., became an unrestricted free agent. Boeser had 25 goals and 25 assists for Vancouver last season, well below the career highs he posted in goals (40) and points (73) during the 2023-24 campaign. There was ample speculation in March that the 28-year-old right-winger would be moved ahead of the NHL's trade deadline, but Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin said the offers simply weren't enticing enough. Originally selected 23rd overall by the Canucks in the 2015 draft, Boeser has played all 554 of his career NHL games for Vancouver, amassing 204 goals and 230 assists in regular-season play. He added another 11 goals and 12 assists over 29 post-season appearances. The six-foot-one, 208-pound forward from Burnsville, Minn., became a fan favourite not only for his scoring prowess, but how he handled adversity off the ice, including the death of his father, Duke, in May 2022. The support from Vancouver hockey fans always meant a lot to Boeser. 'I can't say enough about the fan base and the city. Everyone's so kind to me, if I'm just out and about,' he said at the end of the 2024-25 campaign. 'Everyone's always had my back and supported me. And that's something that I really appreciate ' Earlier on Tuesday, the Canucks announced extensions for all-star goalie Thatcher Demko and winger Conor Garland. Demko inked a three-year, $25.5-million deal, while Garland signed a six-year, $36-million contract. Both players are heading into the final season of five-year contracts and were set to become unrestricted free agents next summer. Demko, 29, is coming off an injury-plagued 2024-25 campaign where he posted a 10-8-3 record with a .889 save percentage, a 2.90 goals-against average and one shutout. The six-foot-four, 192-pound goalie from San Diego, Calif., was named a finalist for last year's Vézina Trophy, awarded annually to the NHL's top goaltender, after going 35-14-2 with a .918 save percentage and a 2.45 GAA during the 2023-204 campaign. The performance helped Vancouver clinch first place in the Pacific Division and earn a spot in the playoffs. Demko suffered an injury to the popliteus muscle in his left knee during Game 1 of the team's first-round series against the Nashville Predators. He did not play again until Dec. 10. 'Thatcher is one of the top goalies in the National Hockey League and a key leader in our locker room,' Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin said in a statement. 'Demmer is one of the hardest-working players on our team and gives our group great confidence when he takes the net. A complete package of size, strength, rebound control, and athletic ability, our players know that they have an opportunity to win each and every game he plays.' Garland put up 50 points (19 goals, 31 assists) for the Canucks this past season and won gold with the U.S. at the men's world hockey championship in May. The 29-year-old winger from Scituate, Mass., has played the last four years in Vancouver after being acquired from the Arizona Coyotes alongside defenceman Oliver Ekman-Larsson in July 2021. 'Conor is a core member of our hockey team and a player who has taken on a bigger role with the club the past couple seasons,' Allvin said. 'He competes hard every day, drives play on the ice, is relentless on the forecheck and is really tough to play against. Gars is an emerging leader in the group and works extremely hard to keep himself and the players around him accountable.'

Massive meth discovery prompted federal raid in Minneapolis, court documents show
Court documents reveal 900 pounds of meth found in a storage unit in Burnsville, Minnesota, prompted a highly scrutinized federal raid on Lake Street in Minneapolis earlier this month. A federal criminal complaint filed Monday said the June 3 raid at Cuatro Milpas was connected to one of eight search warrants executed across the state. Those warrants followed the search of a Burnsville storage unit, which the complaint said yielded 900 pounds of crystal meth "concealed in multiple tubes separately held in large spools of metal." The street value of the meth is at least $22 million, authorities said. Court documents do not say when that meth was recovered. The federal warrants directed law enforcement to search for and seize evidence related to "controlled substances, money laundering, bank fraud, human trafficking, and firearms." Authorities say they collected "relevant evidence" at each location they visited. Warrants were carried out at homes and businesses in Bloomington, Inver Grove Heights, Burnsville, Lakeville and Northfield, turning up gold-plated guns and portraits of fictional character Tony Montana from "Scarface," according to court documents. Authorities believe what they uncovered points to an international crime ring operating in Minnesota. A document from the U.S. Attorney's Office shows the search was considered "high risk" due to the nature of the offenses, so SWAT crews were called to assist in the search. The presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement prompted community members to gather on Lake Street and, eventually, clash with authorities. A 27-year-old St. Paul woman is now charged with assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers or employees during the protests spurred by the raid. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey at the time said the raid was not connected to immigration enforcement and instead was "related to a criminal search warrant for drugs and money laundering." Court documents show because of the assaults, federal agents had to leave before they could collect all the evidence they needed. In the aftermath, an internal memo to officers and staff of the Minneapolis Police Department reiterated the agency's non-participation policy when it comes to federal immigration enforcement.

2 charged in shots fired incident outside Burnsville High School
Two 18-year-old men face felony charges for their alleged involvement in an attempted shooting outside Burnsville High School after a graduation ceremony. Police were already at the school Friday night for "security and crowd control," a criminal complaint said, when two groups began "arguing and flashing gang signs towards each other." Around 8:30 p.m., police heard gunshots near the high school and went to investigate. Bystanders pointed officers to a nearby vehicle, inside of which were the two men now charged. Inside the car, police found a handgun with an extended magazine and a bullet casing, the complaint states. Two more bullet casings were found on the street nearby, and a vehicle in the area had a bullet in one of its headlights. Witnesses said one of the men charged was driving the car when someone in a leopard print jacket approached the passenger side and talked with the occupants. When the person in the jacket tried to punch the car, witnesses said, someone pointed a gun out of the passenger's side window and started shooting. No one was hurt, police said. Both men charged denied firing the gun, but according to the complaint, a nickname used by someone at the scene identified one of the men as the shooter. Both men are charged with two counts of drive-by shooting, a criminal complaint shows. One also faces a second-degree assault charge, and the other is charged with two additional counts of aiding an offender. Four people in total were arrested after the incident, which prompted a large law enforcement response. Note: The video above originally aired June 7, 2025.
