Should we compare this trade to the Subban deal and wonder how we didn't get him for a 2nd round pick? Because he's half the price, fits with the upper end of the core age group, plays the style they are looking for, fills an organizational need and is just entering his prime. 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you honestly believe we'll be outside the playoffs in two years? It's lottery protected for next year. I highly doubt we'll be on the outside looking in with Miller added to Petey, Boeser, Horvat, Hughes, Demko, etc. I think we have a serious shot at the playoffs next year barring serious injuries to our top six. In two years I can't see us missing the playoffs with the depth we'll have in Utica. 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babalu Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 We better be addidng a first in another trade or this is terrible. Way too much to give up for a team that was needing to shed cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way the league is built now, it seems to me that you draft well, keep a constant influx of talent coming through the system, and “one” year your talent and depth overpowers your opponent. You can build the greatest team ever, but at the end of the day....one fluke injury (malhotra at the end of a season), or a terrible unprecedented call (rome) can make or break a season, let alone playoffs. Better to get more shots in the gun instead of going right for a head shot is what im saying. That's the mythology alright, I'll give you that. The reality, however, looks a lot different than that and, year after year, the playoffs prove that point. You build a good solid core through draft (check) and you support that core by adding veteran players who provide support and leadership. You don't win the Cup by missing the playoffs year after year until you're unable to keep that core group of drafted guys together and you have to start over. The point is to win 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Trebreh Posted June 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2019 imagine if he is a 60 point winger playing with Petey and Brock, we would've saved ourselves an 8-9 million dollar contract for someone like Duchene. he will be a steal at 5.25m 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJockitch Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Doesn’t feel like Benning is done. Still hasn’t traded anyone on the team. Feels like may still be things coming. Hope there is. Would like to see a d come in before ufas. Just hope he doesn’t trade Jake to get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller has to produce 50+ points annually for our conditional 1st rounder to be worth it. Well considering TG just said he will play with EP and Boeser, as long as he's healthy he'll be a lock for 50 points at the minimum. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wait until this kid becomes a man, his tenacity is incredible. I've never seen a player like him before, and when you can say that in a positive way, you know you have something special. There is no comparable for the way he plays, he is unique. a lion on the ice. His highlights are just so exciting to watch, if he was doing this in the OHL, he would have been a top 3 pick. While he possibly missed at 5 and 6 with Juolevi and Virtanen, they aren't bad picks. Jim hasn't really drafted a bust big, and definitely has more gems than bad picks. You say Virt, I say Boeser. You say Juolevii, I say Gaudette. He also drafted Demko. You just compared Eriksson and Miller, which further proves you don't know what you're talking about when it comes to NHL players, or prospects. Easy there. You watched one video from scrouch, couch, scrote, whatever....and picked up “buzz words”. I never said i didnt see the motive or the reasoning. I said its scary taking a russian in the first round, that may or may not play in north america let alone vancouver, and that giving up a first round pick in a deep draft for “possibly” another player, that cant adapt to the canucks system is worrisome.

Yan86 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Did people forget he was a mid first round pick as well? 50 point versatile 2 way forward that could play wing/center that goes to the dirty areas. He's developed and going into his prime right now with a reasonable cap. I see this as we paid a 3rd to speed up the process which is totally worth it. Plus not all mid first round pick could end up being a 50 point player. I see this as a win unless the first round pick ends up winning the lottery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Are people still going to be upset if he acquires a late 1st next year for say Tanev or Sutter and basically replaces this? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 48MPHSlapShot Posted June 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2019 One good thing about this trade. If Bo or Petey go down to injury, we now have a guy that can step into a top six center role while they're out and keep us afloat. Until now, the best options we had if one of them went down were Sutter or Granlund. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're one those Ballard, Raymond, and a 2nd gets you a superstar kind of guys aren't you? The reason they get a 1st instead of that 2nd is being willing to wait up to two years to actually get it. You don't make a team wait for their return for free. Edit: It also affords us ample opportunity to replace that 1st if things don't go well.
