Sometimes Benning makes some short sighted decisions like this. Miller is the only reason why we weren't dead last in the league last season and will likely be the reason why we wouldn't finish dead last this upcoming season. Until Demko/Diepetro (or some other young stud goalie) are ready to take the reigns this team isn't and shouldn't be in a position to sign goalies like Miller.

JV77 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Just now, -AJ- said: In my mind, and the mind of many CDC users, Miller deserved the Cyclone Taylor trophy this season as Vancouver's MVP. His numbers were less than stellar, but that certainly wasn't his fault. He stole several games for us and our defense was much more often at fault than Miller. Given our team obviously, he was good and inconsistent but wouldn't call it stellar. Stellar in my mind is a goalie who can probably get a bad/average team into the playoffs on their back like Lu in 07. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put Miller at a middle-of-the-pack goaltending level last year. Better than his stats showed at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top US personal tax rate is almost as high as Canada and California State taxes are close to the highest in the US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistolPete13 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Good luck Millsy. I was so proud when you Stood up for Stecher against the Laffs. All 168 lbs of you. God bless you for showing your teammates some courage. That will never be forgotten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlwaysACanuckFan Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 If it is indeed the case where Miller does sign with the Ducks then all the best of luck to him. He'll be closer to his family and closer for a chance to win the Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Luongo Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 This is great news I hope it's true. Markstrom is ready to be a great goalie imo he's a great teammate as well and will take advantage of the opportunity. Spend that cash wisely JB!

I've never seen Miller let in 8 like Roberto did in Boston. Schneider can go from looking all world to looking like a deer in the headlights. Miller made some outrageous saves that were all talent, zero chance. And he stood up for Stecher. He was a leader here. I, for one, truly appreciate Ryan's time here because of all he brought. He made a great impression on Markstrom. This is the best possible outcome. Benning's probably kinda choked but sees it for what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1970 and beyond Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Have Vancouver offered/or will they offer him anything. Is this a case of if he signs elsewhere, Vancouver goes oh geeze now what? I like what Miller did here. Hopefully he ends up with a contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also hate their horrible goal horn haha. The TV quality in Anaheim kind of sucks too...there's just nothing good about playing Anaheim! Besides Kesler being in the team the crowd look so empty despite being an elite team and the fans booing the wrong Schultz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks were going to lose games anyways, at least with Miller he almost always gave thema fighting chance night in night out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only speculation that the Canucks made a similar offer to what the Ducks have. That is $1M + performance bonuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NHL is flooded with tenders looking for homes. JB would have been crazy to give him more than a 1 year deal and ANA provides a better family setting. Markstrom is the future and he should be playing 60 games this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice orca Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Was meh about Miller but he is a class guy standing up for Stecher. Also Goldobin after small balls threw him under the bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
