afan Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 It is very obvious Miller is a below average NHL goalie based on whatever statistics you look at it. It would be another stupid move by JB to resign him for the next season or beyond. People keep talking about the big saves he usually makes early in most games but turn a blind eye to the many soft goals he gives up later in games, especially the countless screened shots from a distance. JB must realize his success in drafting Miller was something in the past. Miller, just like the twins,are all faded glories. They won't help this team going forward. Let Markstrom & Bachman be the goalies next season unless JB wants to leave Vancouver with no established young No 1 goalie the season after next. Time to stop playing favouritism to players having past connections with JB & WD for Vancouver to get better. JB has been busy filling the Canucks bottom 2 lines with AHLers and Vancouver is now the refining factories for grinders. I simply cannot count the total number of AHLers that had played for Vancouver since JB came here. Let Miller walk and get some young potential NHL forwards into the lineup in the off season are what JBshould work on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say what you want but imo Miller is directly responsible for this years respectability. Not only that, he's a character guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the most injured team in the NHL this year. So what was your point again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that, he's a character guy. Agreed. Miller has been somewhat inconsistent, but has held us in many games more often than not. His save % is 21st among all NHL goalies who have played more than 2 dozen games, so that's not bad. (Though it is hardly amazing as well). With all this said, he is perhaps overpaid for what he brings to the table at this point, but I would expect his new contract would be far more in line with his performance. I think change just for the sake of change is potentially detrimental to a team, so as long as he is reasonable with his demands I have no issues with us signing him for another year or two.

I don't really want to see Miller re-signed unless it is one year and his cap + Markstroms is cap neutral or better going forward compared to what they cost now. But seriously we are fighting Colorado this year for the bed $&!#ting award without Miller imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
