It’s NOT revolving around a single season of work. It’s historic, which show’s consistency. JT ‘s 4 seasons previous to this add up to consistency. Bo’s are those of a 2 Center. This season should not alter that unless he is willing to sign a 2 year deal.…. Something he won’t do because he himself wouldn’t be sure to keep the pace of this single season alone.…. And your forgetting who was usually dishing him the puck on the pp. The right guy is gone. It’s fine, never coming back , adios.

Raty will be better than Bo inside or at 3 years in the NHL , his curve up will be stronger , he will also turn out to be our best Center ( positional/ F0 %) Beauville is looking for more ice time, wants it, it’s the only reason he has regressed. He will be flying out there, I actually think he is a better skater than Ilya Mihkey ( healthy I do think we’re going to package that draft pick for a proven D man ( if it’s this years pick). If it rolls over, I think we’ll keep it.. I only see the Isles getting worse now.

That’s a childish attack? perhaps your a bit childish taking it that way. I just find what your saying so full of holes it’s un-credible, and the way you spin and explode 1 player into being the ultimate degenerative plague of a team absolutely laughable. .. maybe you do make money at this? ps. Nice to know my “pronunciation” and “punctuation” annoys you . YOUR welcome.

You went from comparing 2 Teams you watched last night and seeing a lack of execution,. To comparing it to a single player that you seem to want to blame for everything associated with his team. That’s interesting. And actually if you cross over the age timeline, You might find this year and the previous seasons we’ve had JT , do cross over to Pavelskis.

Maybe go back 4 seasons, you’ll see the consistency they were looking at, that usually gives you an idea of trajectory.. not just the previous season. the alternative to sign Bo at 8.5m for a single a single season ( this one ), is what your basing your argument about. Thats a deal you don’t make.… and then the declining age / asset hypothesis, and Miller and Horvat are roughly 2 years apart.. these are athletes, professional ones.. this isn’t pre- school and someone saying “that” kid is too big for the sandbox. They all have their own unique journey.

To answer your last question first, perhaps management is telling other teams he’s not available? I also think management wants him as their Vet presence , we can go on comparing the Sedins, Horvat and Naslund for being “strong silent types.… but I don’t think that has won us anything , and to have someone vocal, and intense , and willing to engage, Is better than having a leader or Captain watching his teamates take punches . Why a surprise ? Miller likes it here and openly said he wants to stay. We did get a good deal , 4-5 years now and his points are there, speaking for themselves. His production has never really waivered, that’s consistency, not something I see looking at Bo’s production.. great to have a break out year, but where has he been? I think Bo will drop off before Milller does, and Miller will still be putting up decent numbers , when Bo wanes from this season. Miller did seem to put it on his stick a lot this season,. But I haven’t looked at stats for that. .. you know how I stand with this and I see no reason to be re-gurgitating the same opinions ,. No offence intended.…. Im just surprised more people didn’t see this outcome even before Miller signed here. It’s about a culture change,. and there is probably 2 more players to be parting ways from the Canucks , to have gotten rid of the old culture we had. Erase the past, Then the change begins. Ps. Beauviller will respond well to more ice time , Raty will turn out to be our best Center (positional) in 2 to 3 more seasons.…. And that pick we grabbed, I think we shop it for the D man we e been missing ( perhaps add to the pick) that’s how I think this is going to unfold further.

Young man looks good! .. and seems to LIKE to shoot ! -
It’s been noted on here (stats included) that Bo and Millers defensive games are at par. The other thing is , you / we have no idea how Miller might react to this .. my guess is he shows Tochett he can take charge and make an even better impression on the young core that have stepped up to mimic his game aggressively,. Not Horvats. That punch to Garlands Face , right in front of Horvat, was a knife twisting in JR’s ribs.. Horvat doing nothing showed he did it deserve to lead. I hope the Captaincy goes to Miller. I can almost guarantee Miller is traded in 3-4 years, not because of decline,. But because of assets needed if we aren’t a playoff bound team. He will bring an even better deal and better 1st round pick than what Horvat has. Time for Miller to shine !!
