[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
Gawdzukes replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
So maybe we stand pat and burn a year off. Well so much for big moves and difficult choices. Not like we can do much with 2 mil in cap space and 4 or 5 players to sign. i think we get more with LTIR or something. Anyone know the exact # of players and cap space we're at? -

[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
Gawdzukes replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Yeah you're right as well. He definitely deserved those minutes as you say. I'm just pointing out he had a real good season with not much going wrong for him. I don't think he even had a slump or any rough patches last year. If Petterson and Boeser are firing all year and Kuzmenko makes a solid contribution maybe he doesn't have to do so much. Especially if we can get better defensively! Edit: I do think if we had a more balanced line-up and an improved top 6 it might limit his opportunities and alter his situational use. He may sacrifice some points while winning more hockey games. -

Yeah I can't see how we keep them both but at this point I must admit I have no clue what they are doing or thinking. -
(Rumour) CHI not tendering RFA Kubalik
Gawdzukes replied to RWJC's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Yeah one thing I've learned in the last 8 years or so are that UFA's are a difficult proposition. 1. UFA's are expensive 2. UFA's actually have to choose your team amongst many, and: 3. Your team actually needs cap space for UFA's or RFA's (Canucks ) At this point it looks like the Canucks will not be active in either market. -

Chances are they don't but lucky for them it's even more incentive to gut the roster and load up on high picks in the next couple of years. I'm a little envious that they have a strong starting plan for the future. -

No not really he's already maxing out on playing time, playing the # 1 PP, playing on line 1 with good players and getting all the prime scoring opportunities. If we get better players who play more while he sits on the bench and\or plays more defensive minutes then he won't get those points even though the team itself would most likely be better. You have to admit he was in a great do it all situation and played 80 games while others struggled with Covid/Injuries/Slumps/Personal Issues etc.. Look how badly he's crushing the other forwards in playing time. But sure I guess he could get more it just doesn't seem likely to me and of course I can't prove any of this. You're probably better off penciling him in for120 points and I'll go with 70. We'll see who's closer. Edit: Actually if we re-sign Miller I'd see him around 85 points. We won't be adding many players and no impact players so we'll see similar results I would imagine just not quite as good. -

If those six players will garner a 1st,2nd,2nd,3rd ... I would gladly take that it would be amazing to have 7 picks in the first 3 rounds. That's how you stock a prospect pool. -

career avg is .71 Canucks average 1.07 (.97 without his career 21/22) 2021-2022 average 1.23 I'd say he gets all those points in Van partially because the rest of the players suck so much. It'll be interesting to see what happens this year but I could see a fairly big drop coming if the rest of the team gets up to speed. These last 3 years have been the perfect storm in terms of playing time, injuries, deployment, lack of pressure, etc.. Either way his value and game are at an all-time high right now. -
Thank Gawd Bailey is gone. Please please please don't sign this guy back.
-
Hey buddy. Is this our new backup/succession goalie we wanted?
-
Oh yeah I guess. Thanks for the link. I really hope our development team makes some big strides. I'm no expert but love the people we have in there. I think it's a terrific starting point. I'd be inspired to put in the work if I was player. We need more than one prospect down there playing and growing together.
-
We should hire our own skating coach. Seems like all of our prospects need some work.
-
Yup I don't think anyone can say much about Poile except he's very astute and has done incredibly well in Nashville. I can see him retooling as he goes like JR has alluded to in our case. They are just a year or two ahead of us. Perennial playoff team with good defense and goaltending. Some good young players, elite forward just signed, Some cap space (mll?), and good prospects.
-
Well this is a depressing and lame thread. I'll check back in a couple of years. Hopefully by some miracle this kid has learned how to tie his own skates.

Maybe you're right but as an athlete I don't count my chickens before they hatch. I find it alarming how you think we're guaranteed to make playoffs or something. This team hasn't done crap for 8 years now and we're going to magically make the playoffs when everyone else is getting better and we're standing pat? I wouldn't bet on it myself unless some drastic moves are made and as of now we have zero dollars going into FA. -

You're not going to get much for Myers but I say trade them both so we can upgrade the team. -

Gawdzukes replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
No just Miller will get things going. I'm tired of operating at the cap limit with a non playoff team. It's boring to suck every year with little hope for the future. Give us a competitive team or at least give us hope for the future. We could alternatively trade Bo or even a combo of Myers and Garland at the bare minimum. Anything but more of the same. I can't handle it again. -

We can't even make a single Miller trade but some people think we can pull off 5 or 6 trades where we one up everyone just to pay off Miller and also completely upgrade our team everywhere else at the same time. I don't see how the hell that happens though. I guess that's why they are the exalted leaders and I am just the fan so I shall have to wait and see. I'm not going lie though it's getting very frustrating to be a Canucks fan. I'm going out to the lake. No more hockey for me this weekend after I leave. It's getting too depressing. -

Yes that's the worst part. How come every other team gets to make these moves where you say damn what a return that's such a great move this franchise is going to be overflowing with riches/assets to build their team properly moving forward. Us: nothing ever just ride every contract and player into the ground until they're worthless and we have nothing. It's getting so tiresome. But obviously as we can see here there is a large portion of this fanbase which is absolutely fine with mediocrity so it really doesn't surprise. Why change if no one cares either way. Might as well just stay status quo. I might just pick up Arizona or Seattle as my third team as it looks like they'll be competitive long before us at this rate. -

Not me, I dream of not watching us hemmed in our zone for minutes at a time and watching Myers dump it onto other's peoples stick time and time again with countless unforced errors. I dream of a time where we build the team properly and stop taking short cuts and giving into impatience. I won't care how many points Miller gets when we miss the playoffs again and sit in the exact same position next year lying to ourselves about how good we can be with a couple periphery moves. At this point I'm getting ready to watch the Vancouver Miller's for the next 8 years just in case we can't find a suitor. Well at least the pro Miller will enjoy that. Even if it's in a losing cause. Haha, I'm not salty at all. -

Ah Jimmy I'm just joking around man. I worked late so I had to watch on PVR but I was one of the few people not freaking out about the inactivity. I just like to point out how dumb people sound sometimes when they say stuff like that, even about Benning.
