[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
JM_ replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
we'll see. I wouldn't be surprised if nothing happens today on this. -

but we haven't seen one yet. -

JM_ replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
we have not seen a deal that makes sense yet. Sorry but if the best is Chytil, Lundkvist and a the 30th oa pick is a lame return. None of that moves the needle much. Sorry but you seem very hot to sell low, that would be a big mistake. -

Lundkvist is pretty darn mediocre. -

Gaffar is saying the offers may not be what the trade Miller camp has been hoping for. So if its a mediocre return now we should just keep him. We're not risking much at all. if JT gets hurt or his production drops off dramatically he's out potentially 10's of millions. Yeah, the pressure is on him to sign. He's not 23, he can't recover from a bad year and still get a $50 mil pay day at 32. also with no trade protection maybe we send him to a team where he won't have as good line mates as he'd get here or in NY. That also hurts his next deal. -

at the end of the day, Miller doesn't have any trade clauses. We can send him to any team we like. That coupled with him being in his last year of his deal should make him agree to something reasonable. If not, JR can send him to the highest bidder, even Ottawa. -

what if he does? is that some line we've now invented that makes him valuable or not? what if he is our best PK player? what if he's our best leader? thats a much riskier situation for JT than the team. -

you don't know that, we have yet to see what we can do in other trades and free agency shedding Dickie would be nice. -
[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
JM_ replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
no its really not. If all we're being offered now is some late 1st and a prospect we're not risking much in just keeping him. We can do that and likely more at the TDL, or maybe later in the summer. Zero reason to panic sell tomorrow. And who cares about "distraction"? lots of teams have issues every year, if we have a good team on the ice I could give a flying &^@# about media yap. -

JM_ replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
so just settle for some poor return? meh, I'd rather keep him for our own run. If we're not firmly locked in a playoff spot in Feb trade hm at the deadline. -

So if Gaffar and Pagnotta are both correct... none of us are getting what we wanted? no long term deal and no big haul back? The hockey gods have a nasty sense of humour. -

I'm not, its the only way to drive down that AAV. I am surprised JT's agent isn't willing to do that. But just have to accept it for what it is. -
Gastown is still fun to visit, but it gets pretty wooly down there at night, lots of car crime, etc. North Van is a nice option with the Quay too, nice market and lots of good places to eat.

[Rumour] John Klingberg to hit free agency

I would imagine Dallas isn't on that NT list but no way to know. -

if we can raise up our d group to "average" we might be able to make this work. We still need to steal a 3C from somewhere. -

JM_ replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
meh screw NYR. They have too much already. Let them lose out on Miller to a division rival and have him help destroy their playoff ambitions. OK I'm getting a little snarly waiting for the news. -
[Rumour] John Klingberg to hit free agency
JM_ replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
yup there are conditions where he'd make sense here. I wonder if we could even pair him with Dermott to begin with? -

JM_ replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
this does make Myers to Dallas much more of a thing tho. I wonder if he'd waive now to do it... I'd think so, its basically going home for him. -
the area west of Denman can be quite nice actually. Mostly older buildings but many are well maintained, and if you like the idea of being close to the seawall (e.g. if you're a runner) it can be ideal. Pacific Ave right on English Bay is worth looking at too, lots of older concrete rentals there. The area around Lower Lonsdale in North Van might work well for you too, the sea bus is an easy ride from there. If you want to live on a sky train line and are more of an indoor mall type person, try Brentwood in Burnaby. Some massive new rental towers there now. Olympic Village and around False Creek is good too, just off downtown. I'd avoid Gastown, lots of rentals right now but the city has let the area go and it needs to be cleaned up.

[Rumour] Poolparty wants out again
JM_ replied to The Arrogant Worms's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
its the migraine thing, you just don't know if you're going to lose him to IR at any given point. -

JM_ replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
the CDC'rs that I really appreciate are the ones in CHL markets that have first hand takes on prospects. That really gives nice insight into trades like the one likely coming up here, you can get a take that a guy sitting in a Vancouver office tower can't. -
[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
JM_ replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
it does. There needs to be a lot of work done on LTIR as well, for players that will never come back there needs to be an option to pay that out and just have them off the cap. It makes no sense to penalize a team for a legit injury they can't do anything about. -

yeah that dream appears to be as dead as a betamax at this point.
