JT Miller's Next Contract - Is it gonna be that high?
Nucker 67 replied to HKSR's topic in Canucks Talk
I agree, I really like Miller and he sure produces, but there are flaws with his game. Boudreau had to recently let him have it for his attitude and laziness getting off the ice in CGY. I remember last year how many times he just gave up on plays, wouldn't back check. I guess he was in pout mode? I dunno, he's always seemed frustrated since being here. -
JT Miller's Next Contract - Is it gonna be that high?
Nucker 67 replied to HKSR's topic in Canucks Talk
If they sign Miller to a huge contract for 5+ years, how does this affect re-signing Horvat, Podkolzin and Hoglander in the coming years? -
JT Miller's Next Contract - Is it gonna be that high?
Nucker 67 replied to HKSR's topic in Canucks Talk
All this talk of Miller making $9 million until he's in his mid-late 30s is giving me LE flashbacks. I say let the guy go - trade for a King's ransom. Good luck to him. The future of this team is Petey, Hughes, Horvat, Demko etc. -
JT Miller's Next Contract - Is it gonna be that high?
Nucker 67 replied to HKSR's topic in Canucks Talk
I'm thinking he may accept $7-$7.5 but he'll want term - 5 years at the least Miller will be 30 when his current contract expires. Do they really want to be paying him $7.5 at 33 when he's declined, and he still has 2 years left? -
[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
Nucker 67 replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Just spitballing, threw some names out there, guys who could be #3 Dmen., but what Button said sort of made sense. The Canucks only have two Top 4 Dmen (OEL and Hughes). They desperately need proven (better) D to help them defend and produce. Drafting a Dman or a D prospect could take several years before they make a difference or they even make the team. Canucks need help now, their core is young and ready to take that next step. -
[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
Nucker 67 replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Heard Craig Button earlier today, saying if the Canucks trade Miller, they better get a #3 Dman in return. He doesn't feel a package of all picks and prospects is wise, as you never know if those players will have NHL careers. Miller is a proven, top NHL player with a good contract in his prime. Here's a list of some (possibly) #3 Dmen: BOS - (R) Carlo CAR - (L) Slavin or (R) Pesche COL - (R) Girard FLA - (L) Gudas or (R) Montour (or is he more of a 4/5?) NYR - (L) Lindgren or (R) Schneider PIT - (R) Marino STL - (R) Parayko WAS - (L) Orlov This could be more of a straight up player trade though, maybe a mid-round pick or two added by the other team, but the Canucks would get something they really need. Not sure I like this idea, as it's always nice to have the extra high pick and a prospect to look forward to. BUT, Demko would have better D in front of him. They could be a tougher team to beat with better D. -
IMO, build around: Horvat Pettersson Hoglander Podkolzin Hughes Demko They could get a lot back (to help this young group make a run in a year or two), by trading Miller, Garland and Boeser

[Rumour] Canucks getting calls on Conor Garland
Nucker 67 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Alright, alright....Garland, Motte and Rathbone for Luke Hughes -
Listening to this guy from Daily Faceoff on Halford and Brough, and he thinks the Rangers may not want to part with Schneider or Lundqvist from their D for Miller, but suggested the Canucks might want to consider Zac Jones, a young, small LD. Who? WTF? Why would they settle for him? Screw that to NYR - Miller and Schenn to VAN - Kakko, Schneider, 1st If the Rangers want Miller and a Cup, it's going to cost them

JR's 2022 Moves ~ (Proposals)
Nucker 67 replied to J.I.A.H.N's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
So, what will the D look like next season? Ekman-Larsson - Myers Hughes - Letang Smith - Poolman Juulsen Burroughs Rathbone -
[Proposals] Miller and Garland both traded
Nucker 67 replied to HKSR's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Canucks are winning, or at least picking up points in almost every game (points in 16 of their last 20 under Boudreau), so they are slowly clawing their way into a playoff spot. I now doubt that Miller gets traded, because they don't need to this season. If things go sideways, then maybe he gets moved, but they keep picking up those points. Garland, on the other hand, I think gets moved. Maybe he's packaged with Schenn? To NJ for Severson and a prospect? (Nolan Foote?) -
[GDT] Canucks @ Predators / Tuesday, Feb. 1/22 @ 5:00 pm PT
Nucker 67 replied to -DLC-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Juulsen has impressed me, and he a RD. Could he make the roster next season? I don't see why not, he's still young (24) and he should only get better with the more NHL ice time he sees. He's also got size and some smarts.- 957 replies

[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
Nucker 67 replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
If the Canucks have a sniff of a playoff spot, Miller isn't going anywhere. Guess to be traded: Garland. Motte, Schenn -
[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
Nucker 67 replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
It must be a very difficult decision for management, on what to do with JT Miller. Trading him would fetch a big haul, starting with an extra 1st and a good young player/prospect. That would really help the Canucks future. Selling it to a young roster that is dying to get to the playoffs would be a tough job, though. Horvat, Hughes, OEL and Garland etc. want to get in badly, and trading the team's best player, heart and soul leader, sends a message "we're going to step back and take our time here". They just recently lost core guys in Markstrom and Tanev. I think the only way it works is if the return coming back is significant, and to help the team now. Hypothetically, what if there was a mega deal trade with STL - Miller, Motte and Schenn to the Blues for Robert Thomas, Colton Parayko and 1st? Luke gets to play with his bro and try to win a Cup together. Nice story. Although, not sure about Parayko's infinity contract, but that's why STL gives up their 1st. I dunno, it's hypothetical. Or, what if they decide to keep Miller? If they re-signed him for say...$7 x 3 (he'll be 33 when his extension ends). But in order to do so, they need to unload salary. And that's only if he really wants to play in VAN. He may want a 5 year term instead with a full NTC. Difficult decisions -
[Report] Canucks name Patrik Allvin as GM
Nucker 67 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
They're all sick of missing the playoffs. Bo ios the captain, so I wouldn't expect him to say anything less. He probably feels he can still win in VAN -
[Rumour] Canucks getting calls on Conor Garland
Nucker 67 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Hopefully they have a similar player already in Hoglander -
[Proposals] Miller and Garland both traded
Nucker 67 replied to HKSR's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
JR wants to clear cap space. VAN might not get back what some think in some trades. I could see a somewhat underwhelming returns for Garland and Miller, for example. Possibly Garland to NJ for Ty Smith and a 2nd. Maybe Miller goes to NYR for a 1st, Nils Lundqvist and Chytil. -

Carlo, Lysell and a 1st? -
[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
Nucker 67 replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
It would be tough, a difficult decision. Hughes - Carlo pairing is intriguing though. I wonder, all of these trade proposals with Lafreniere or Kakko, a 1st and Schneider etc. if that's just dreaming. What is the realistic return for Miller? I hear it's a 1st, a prospect and a player. I'm assuming "the player" has to already have a sizable contract to make the money work for both teams. -
[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
Nucker 67 replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Seravalli reported a few days ago that NYR, BOS, MIN and CGY are interested in JT Miller One of the trades proposed I've seen is: to BOS - Miller, Poolman and 3rd (2022) to VAN - Carlo, Debrusk and 1st (2022) The money works out almost even Thoughts?
