Trade High, and control the narrative (Discussion)
Nucker 67 replied to J.I.A.H.N's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Watching Boeser in last night's game, I found that he was a little behind the play. Boeser is not a fast player, and to really compete, the Canucks need to be a fast team. I'd trade Boeser before the big raise. -
[PGT] Florida Panthers at Vancouver Canucks | Jan. 21, 2022
Nucker 67 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
May have been mentioned earlier in this thread (I didn't check), but if the Canucks could almost beat the Panthers without Horvat, Miller, Garland, Demko, Halak - then I wonder if JR feels a bit more comfortable trading a guy like Miller, for example. -
What a boost to the youth movement getting one of those guys. The thing is, with Miller and his contract being so desirable, teams will overpay the longer JR holds out. Maybe he creates a bidding war.

Trade High, and control the narrative (Discussion)
Nucker 67 replied to J.I.A.H.N's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
If the Canucks are in a playoff spot, I'm not sure they would trade their best player. If they go on a bit of a losing streak and miss out, then I'm all for trading Miller for a big return. -
I believe Rutherford's intentions are to hire a new GM (Allvin) who he will mentor. This definitely requires a "yes man", which explains why JR isn't hiring an experienced, independent free thinker to manage the team. Nope, JR will actually be running the show, and the GM and A/GMs will learn under him. This is awesome. JR has been there, done that. I'm glad he's hiring open-minded, eager, smart individuals who want to make this team a Stanley Cup winner. Everyone will be on the same page with the same goal. I'm wondering how some will react when Doerrie claims that Lammikko is the best analytics player on the team lol More excited now for the future than ever with the Canucks, I believe playoffs are still possible, and the Draft is going to be fun, finally having a 1st round pick again.

Singer Meat Loaf has died at the age of 74
Nucker 67 replied to Elias Pettersson's topic in Off-Topic General
Was never a fan. I just couldn't get into the theatrics and dramatic songs. This really overweight guy with long hair, waiving his white hanky, but there is no denying the impact he had in the 70s and beyond with that album. I last saw him on Trump's The Apprentice years back, and he seemed like a really nice, gentle giant of a guy. RIP -
Plans for Roster going forward (Discussion)
Nucker 67 replied to KKnight's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
And maybe this? Boeser and Hamonic to PIT for Kapanen and Marino EDIT - PIT adds a pick (2nd or 3rd?) -

I don't mind the Miller/Schenn trade to NYR D (future) Hughes - Schneider Rathbone - Woo Cs Horvat Pettersson Chytil and the extra 1st and 3rd are nice, refill that prospect pool a bit Don't want Laine -
[Report] Canucks hire Rachel Doerrie in an analytics role

She's not wrong -
[proposal] Miller to CBS
Nucker 67 replied to NorthWestNuck's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Canucks want to get younger, Domi is 26. Be nice to pluck a couple of younger players and a pick. (e.g.) Texier, Bean and a 1st (2022) for Miller (25%) CBJ have two 1sts next year -
Does anyone really think the Canucks are contenders, or even a playoff team this year? I recently heard Dhaliwal whining and crying about "what message will that send to Bo and Quinn, who want to win?" Dhali isn't seeing the big picture. Trade Miller at the TDL to the highest bidder. In return the Canucks will probably get a 1st, a prospect and a player. WTF? Take that and run. Next year's draft is a good one and the Canucks desperately need Grade A prospects. Other than Rathbone and possibly Klimovich, they don't have anyone. Also trade Boeser for an upgrade on D. Let's stop toiling at mediocrity and build a championship team. Draft and develop.

[Proposal] 2 trades, Van - Edm and Van - NYR
Nucker 67 replied to Nucksfollower1983's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
You must think Ken Holland is stupid -
Who will be the first player to be traded under the new management?
Nucker 67 replied to Rabbit's topic in Canucks Talk
He's been very underwhelming so far. I thought he was supposed to bring some physicality. Just floats out there. -
[Proposal] Canucks and Penguins trade
Nucker 67 replied to Odjick the Warrior's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Maybe something like this? Boeser and Poolman Kapanen, Pettersson and a 2nd PIT may need to add another mid-round pick or prospect -
[Proposal] Canucks and Penguins trade
Nucker 67 replied to Odjick the Warrior's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
No way PIT gives up that much, basically for Boeser -
Don't want Toffoli back, his best days are now behind him.
-
Would suck to lose Miller and that passion, his production, but the Canucks would get a really nice return for him. Imagine having a Braden Schneider paired with Hughes or Rathbone one day or Chytil centering the 3rd line, and extra picks. I'm all for the Canucks improving and one day winning a Cup, and trading Miller may be a first step in doing that.

Maybe this is better: $2,000,000 or less = Great game, 2G! $2,000,000 to $6,000,000 = well, it's about time, been waiting for him to produce $6,000,000 or more = Finally! Now play that way every game, or else you will be criticized

Cautious optimism. It was only one game, let's see how he does against NSH

[Rumour] Tyler Motte drawing interest
Nucker 67 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
He's one of those guys - not young (25+) playoff type player playing on a non-playoff team. Motte is 26, gets injured often, but his value is probably as high as it will ever be. Try and get a 2nd or a good prospect for him -
[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Washington Capitals | Jan. 16, 2022
Nucker 67 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
They were past due for a win, glad they could pull it off.
