A shyte start and the Canucks being out of the playoffs by January this up coming season or even missing the playoffs again and it doesn't matter what deals the Canucks make;Petey will be gone and I won't blame him.I just don't see what deals the team can make that will improve the Canucks fast enough to make them competitve.I'm still in the group that says trade the first for a young rising star player that is already in the league.A small group I know.

(Proposal) - Size, Toughness, Cap
cowboy644 replied to kenhodgejr's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
People have got to stop with trading Myers to Chicago.He has 10 team no trade.A guy basically from Western Canada with homes in Vancouver and Kelowna is not moving to Illinois to finish his career if he decides to call it.Please stop.He's never going to a rebuild. -
Because PLD wants out To Winnipeg -Miller 1 million retained next year -Dries 762,000 for 2023/2024 -Lekkerimaki 950,000 for 3 years -11th pick To Vancouver -PLD signed and traded for 8 million for 6 years so will be 30 if he wants to get a kick one more paycheck whether with Canucks or elsewhere. -Adam Lowery 3.25 for 3 years - 18th pick - 2nd round pick 2024 My thoughts are the Jets have hard time getting free agents because its Winnipeg(see PLD).Miller is signed fro 8 years and is coming off 99 and 82 point season.He stays healthy.81 games this year.He gets to play with some big boys and won't have to do all the hard forechecking. Dries goes to play their 3rd line center for 2.4 million-ish less than Lowery.The pick swap hopefully entices the trade for Miller.The Canucks may or may not get the 2nd. The Canucks get A 24 year old big strong second line center for 6 years,Lekkerimaki is a 1st round 15th overall Center/Winger.Worth the value.Lowery becomes the Canucks 3rd line center they are looking for with only 3 years term while Raty developes in the minors.The picks are the picks. All in all the Jets save 1.76 million next season with Miller and Dries.Not much but brings their deadline cap space is going to be a little over 60 million this year.They can easily afford Miller.Also how many teams are willing to trade a 80 plus point 2nd line centerman that stays healthy for a team that will be happy to take a long term contract that won't bolt the second their contract lets them.Yes he is 30 but beggars rarely get to be choosers.

Long Term contracts to veterans (discussion)
cowboy644 replied to J.I.A.H.N's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Make this option available only once every 5 years.Should make GMs have to be smart about it and allows older age players to get a good pay cheque before they age out of the league.Also will let teams that are on pace for a cup run to sign sign or trade for a seasoned vet(maybe with a ring already) to help mentor and then pay him out after that.I like it.Good idea JIAHN. -
If the Canucks do end up drafting 11th and they don't get a player they want then I propose: To Coyotes-Canucks 2023 1st rounder and either Klimovic or McDonough To Canucks -Dylan Guenther and Arizona 2nd rounder next year or third rounder this year. I'm not sure a straight up trade 1 for 1 for Guenther would get it done.The Canucks missed on him last year(can I get a thankyou Jim) and I know its a recoup but it still may be an improvement over whats available at 11.A draft floor trade for sure.With some good GM work maybe they can move Boeser in the summer and make room for Guenther on the 3rd line wing next season.

[Proposal] Where Else Do Ex-Canucks Players End Up?
cowboy644 replied to HKSR's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
I don't think the wrist is the issue.I think he falls under the catagorie he's one of those players that just need a change of scenery.I really believe his heart isn't as a Canuck anymore.It happens in our lives.I spent 10 years at a job in Kelowna but I just needed to move on and try doing it with another company. -
There is only one way the Canucks have a chance to get rid of Millers contract,thats the Islanders first over all.Teams won't even pick up the phone for anything less.Vancouver muight even have to retain for a couple years.If the sitution was flipped and I was the GM in Vancouver that would be my starting point for JT.

[PGT] Winnipeg Jets at Vancouver Canucks | Dec. 17, 2022
cowboy644 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
What,another 810 save percentage.I get Martin didnt get help but jesus.They should call him Spencer martin the 4th.I swear hes giving up that many goals a game.A steal would be nice.Not one this year.The coaching staff has to go.Something has to change on this team and with the cap trades are all but dead.The system they play is awful and it's Bruce and his staff set it up.I hope after Xmas they finally move the needle on this team.What do I want for Christmas.A 10 game losing streak,A high draft pick is about all that is salvageable this year.I don't want a mushy middle finish.
