I appreciate your thoughts, and no apology necessary, we can all be passionate for this club, one way or another. don’t get me wrong, I think Bo is a good player,. But I don’t think his leadership style of being soft spoken , as something this management group.. especially JR , were enjoying . He has had a career year! .. but where did that come from? I think this group wants to see consistency and a high emotion level from players .. Obviously Miller can be a little over the top that way , but he possesses it.. it’s not an act.. it’s his drive and the drive they want to see rubbing off on the younger core. it was refreshing to see Petey flipping the iPad away with his stick the other week.. and physically he is engaged, and hard in the mix. He didn’t learn that emotion from Bo. I go back to before Bo got the Captaincy, Gilles was trying to acquire Shane Doan for Vancouver , just for the purpose of a vet/ presence/ captain , to give the proper person to learn from. ( that’s how I remember it). Miller has a passion that will help bring back the culture we lost after Kurtenbach, Smyl, and Linden. I don’t know to many Captains in this league who are not passionate, emotional , and gritty leading there team. Id like to see Miller Captain , til he is traded in 3-4 (or more ) years. . And then hand off to Petey who will have learned everything at the proper pace. it’s too much pressure for EP right now.. especially during this time.

So WE. should have waited for Bo.. to get injured? stay unsigned? The longer it goes dosent always give you the best deal either. A top possible top 15 1st rnd pick ( and Raty (ELC) 2-3 more years Bo wasn’t / isnt going to bring back much more. If anyone is involved in another trade it’s probably Beauviller with someone else..

[Waivers] Lane Pederson (claimed by Blue Jackets)
SilentSam replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Pederson could skate , pressure well as an F1 and 2, and good grit / net presence. I get he’s a little older, but he just needs consistency getting opportunities at the NHL level. I definitely think he will stick somewhere. He’s a player that will probably become a Hero in playoffs. I wish him the best, And would welcome him back. -
[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
SilentSam replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Bo will be traded. Turning away from helping his teamates out 2 nights in a row , must have Rutherford biting through his own lip.
