  1. Agreed, although I like that PA is willing to “mislead” and doesn’t feel compelled to be fully transparent. There needs to be a level of discretion when discussing possible moves with other teams.
  2. Agreed. Also, other teams likely have better young Dmen in their system. The Canucks defence has been brutally thin for several years. This could be a good pick up, for the right price.
  3. Why Miller? He can be moved in the off season when more teams have the cap space.
  4. Unless the Canucks can get value in a trade, I think we should wait, at least until the off season where more teams will have some cap flexibility. Trading him while his stock is low doesn’t make sense to me. My preference would be to give him the off season to try and fully recover, and strengthen up his game. So, the Canucks will likely trade him for a B prospect, and retain 50%…
  5. If he wants to be here, he can resign in the off season, and should want to come back to an improved team. IMO, they have no choice but to trade him.
  6. I’m sure they do. The real question may be - Does Aquaman want to pay the $5 million bonus? Historically, ownership has shown that they are willing to pay, and overpay, in order to try and reach, or go over, the cap ceiling. Given that the Canucks continue to flounder, Covid financial losses, no playoff revenue, that sellouts are a thing of the past, his divorce and abuse allegations, etc., perhaps he would rather just ditch the contract instead of paying that bonus in the hopes of getting an extra 3rd round draft pick (or whatever the extra return may be). In the end, it may be the only option to trade Myers, but if a trade comes along that allows the Canucks to deal him prior to the bonus payout, I wouldn’t be surprised if they pulled the trigger.
  7. I hate these types of rumours. Of course everyone is available… for the right price.
  8. I see no downside to this move. We need RHD. We got one for a song. Is he a legit top 4? No, but right now, our right side is AHL quality at best.
