"I don't think I'm going to get traded, but obviously, rumors are going to happen and stuff is going to be out in the media," the 23-year-old said. "I love Vancouver, I love the guys I play with, I love the organization, the fans, so I want to be a Canuck and I think our team is right there and we can win a Stanley Cup in the next couple years.
"I truly believe that, and I think our coaching staff and our teammates believe that as well. I want to stay in Vancouver."
Boeser, who signed a three-year, $17.625 million contract (average annual value $5.875 million) on Sept. 16, 2019, has been the subject of potential trade talk, with the Canucks attempting to navigate an NHL salary cap that will remain at $81.5 million next season.
Vancouver general manager Jim Benning specifically addressed a rumor that Boeser, a native of Burnsville, Minnesota, could be traded to the Minnesota Wild.
"Lots of GMs call us about our players," Benning told Sportsnet. "I listen, and sometimes we have a conversation. That's my job as a GM. If I'm not listening to other GMs, then I'm not doing my job. But we're not trying to trade Brock Boeser. I have not had a conversation with Minnesota about him."
Boeser scored 45 points (16 goals, 29 assists) in 57 games this season, down from 56 points (26 goals, 30 assists) in 69 games last season.
He scored 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in 17 games in his first NHL postseason but was held to one goal and two assists and dropped to the third line and second power play at times during a seven-game loss to the Vegas Golden Knights in the Western Conference Second Round.
Benning said Vancouver's first priority is signing goalie Jacob Markstrom, who can become an unrestricted free agent after this season (Oct. 9); negotiations between the Canucks and Markstrom
have already begun
. Benning said keeping Markstrom and re-signing forward Tyler Toffoli and defenseman Chris Tanev, who each can become an unrestricted free agent, would require
trading other players
