[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
Nucker 67 replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Allvin said the team doesn't have a superstar and they want to build a young core, and they need to shed cap. Why would they re-sign Miller (who is an old, non-superstar) to a huge, long term contract? Makes no sense. I think Miller is gone at the Draft. Allvin is gonna make a splash. -
(Proposal) Vancouver - Winnipeg - Miinesota

Dumba and a 1st for Scheifele? I think Dumba still has a lot of value and I could maybe see a player for player trade, maybe MIN adds a mid pick? Adding a 1st seems excessive to me. WPG looks like they've won the trade with bringing in Miller, Boeser and Dumba, but this is before the Miller and Boeser raises, not sure how WPG could afford them. -

MIN is getting ripped off -
Interesting idea, would love to take a chance on Miroshnichenko late. Adds extra picks for VAN, but Allvin recently said that the Canucks don't have a superstar, and trading down doesn't help them with that. I think they could maybe try to trade up? Edit - ....unless, Miro turns into a star? Too much wishful thinking?

Boeser to BUF for (RW/LW) Tuch and (RD) Jokiharju Garland to NJ for (RW/C) Bastian and (LD) Mukhamadullin Miller to BOS for (LW) Lysell and 1st (2023) Tuch - Pettersson - Bastian Hoglander - Horvat - Podkolzin Pearson - Richardson - Lockwood Highmore - Lammikko - Chiasson Lysell OEL - Myers Hughes - Schenn Dermott - Jokiharju Mukhamadullin - Burroughs Hunt Rathbone

[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
Nucker 67 replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I think I might know what could happen (it's another guess anyway) Allvin said that this team doesn't have a superstar. Quite the statement, considering Pettersson, Hughes, Demko and Miller are on the team. But, Allvin is used to have Crosby and Malkin on his roster. JR and Allvin also said that they want the core to get younger, to develop together and have young players pushing for spots. Can't do that by giving Miller $50 million. I think Allvin will trade Miller at the Draft, to move into the Top 3, so they can draft their superstar. Of course they'll wait until the lottery to see where VAN lands, but I think they could be targeting a Top 3 pick. Would be nice to add Cooley or Nemec to the depth chart. -

What the heck would VAN even be thinking re-signing a 30-year old to $8 for years? This would be great, if the rest of the team was ready to make a run, but they're not. Demko might be, but you need more than that. It should be about building around Pettersson, Hughes and Demko. Miller is a fine player 90% of the time, but I'd rather use that $8 to bring in Top 4 RD (youngish). The best D and goaltender wins. Ask TOR and EDM. -
[Proposal] Sign Him!! Jake Livingstone!
Nucker 67 replied to HKSR's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Bang on, no need to rush him He could be a part of the next wave coming up the ranks, with Rathbone and Woo Any chance Brady Keeper makes an impression and gets a spot next season? He definitely brings the grit, from what I've heard. Hunt has actually been pretty good, and apparently a really good team guy. Burroughs is awesome, love his on-ice attitude, reminds me of Bieksa a bit. I'd be good trading Myers. He's a giant, but he doesn't use his size well enough - ends up taking bad penalties. He doesn't use a slap shot, which I think is sorely missed by this team. Sure Quinn and Hunt have a few slappers that get to the net, but I'm talking about a 100+ mph Sami Salo rocket that goaltenders fear. -
[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
Nucker 67 replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
$7.95 over 8 years still doesn't sound appealing to me, it's money and term (and Miller's age) that concern me. I see him giving up on plays now all the time and maing terrible passes to the wrong team. Imagine how he';ll be in 5-6 years making almost $8. No thanks. Look at Burns and Karlsson and Doughty. Once, great players, but holy heck those teams have terrible contracts. Canucks have had a tendency to try and fast-track to the playoffs, but it hasn't worked. All of those picks and prospects Benning traded to get back to the Show. -
[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
Nucker 67 replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I don't know, maybe they don't need to rebuild, but just do some extreme tinkering. I think due to age and cap, Miller and Boeser, at the least need to go. Even if they kept Hockey Smurf, he's got a decent contract and provides some offensive (chances). They'd still have Horvat, Pettersson, Pearson,. Podkolzin, Hoglander, Highmore and Lockwood up front. And maybe some good young players/prospects in the returns as well. -

Why wouldn't he stay? He's got great character, he's the captain. This is his team. Why would he want to leave? He'd like to win in VAN, as the captain. -

Trade Miller, Boeser and Garland for 2023 Draft picks. Run with Horvat and Petey leading the team, bring in some cheap, quality support. If they finish near the bottom next year, Canucks have lots of good Draft picks. They need a Top 3 player. -
[PGT] San Jose Sharks at Vancouver Canucks | Apr. 09, 2022
Nucker 67 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
So, what was up with Dickinson's goal? Who was that guy? Best thing he did in the blue and green. Well, only thing really, but still. -
A lot of other teams would love Podkolzin on their roster.

[PGT] San Jose Sharks at Vancouver Canucks | Apr. 09, 2022
Nucker 67 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Canucks were on them early, could've knocked them out in the first 10 minutes, but they let the Sharks back in the game. I was at the game and the atmosphere was great, glad they got the win. Brent Burns is pretty terrible. How much does he make? $8M? Yikes, and Karlsson has 5 years left at 11.5M Whoa, would not want to be SJ. Miller wasn't that good, he wasn't as engaged as usual. I kept watching and thinking, they should not pay this guy $8M. Canucks management is assessing and I think this is what they go with next season: Pettersson - Boeser Hoglander - Horvat - Podkolzin Pearson - Chiasson Highmore - Lammikko - Lockwood Maybe they can re-sign Boeser under $7, but I'd still be okay trading him for the right return
