[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
RWJC replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
It’s not Bo’s fault and most people realize that. I think what is understandably in the air is now the second act of change we all expected before. that makes everyone on the roster a potential trading asset. Bo is no exception to that. He just hasn’t had as much focus as Miller or BB because of his contract. it’s totally fair to include any asset of ours in any potential scenario at this point in time. -

Only concern is injury history -

I think bringing in Max Domi to play with Bo would help revitalize him. Not sure what the cost would be for Domi though. -

If he does go for some reason I keep seeing him in a habs jersey. if so, what would the return be? -

This never gets old. -
jk. Maybe about 40% of the team?

Trader Jim Rutherford is probably getting all foamy and rabid looking at his phone right now. He needs his fix. Do it JR, do it.

Id speculate that there isn’t anything between Bo and JT. I imagine if any friction developed it wouldn’t be about personalities but more so the amount, and likely type, of pressure the captain can asset on the young stars. I don’t think Miller is the type to like to see anyone “coddled”. To that end, I love him but I just don’t think Bo is the right leader for the other members of the core. Their importance to the club internally likely supersedes his captaincy when it comes to the locker room.
-
Yeah I don’t understand why we can’t get a reg season version of playoff Bo. he’d be a beast. i wouldn’t be surprised (but saddened) if he is our next seasons trade deadline deal.

Don’t forget the lays potato chips.

I just likely misread what you said in a post. I took this to mean you were ok at 6.5 and maybe signs longterm at 7.5. That might have been the weed. I doubt he's getting much over $6.5m. we're taking at MOST, an extra $1m. Much ado about nothing IMO.
-
Summary: I think he’s great value at his current contract. Absolutely. at 6.5 I think he is on par for value. No discount but a commitment and trust between both parties. at 7.5 he is potentially a liability. at 7.5 I question his durability, and at a young age, I foresee a six year commitment to a F who hasn’t yet shown he will reliably stay healthy or consistent. (knocks on wood) if he were ever to sustain a moderate injury could he end up being a recurring IR candidate. A potential nightmare when trying to consistently replace a player who would hold as much value to this team as 7.5 million healthy could buy you. that may seem far fetched but that’s just how I see it. he’s great, I like who he is, and I realllly want to see him excel. I also recognize that he’s the type of player that is heavily reliant on a better player than him for him to reach his expected potential. that’s fine when the chemistry works. And that’s also fine when that player can play a 2 way game. I guess I ultimately question that when it comes down to the QO as end result, what else can we buy at 7.5 million across the board? What does Brock and his 7.5 in cap space get us in trade. I just see better options that way when it comes to the team’s future. hope that makes sense. cheers

Feels like a team playing while expecting and anticipating change. The vibe is off.

Don’t sweat it, we just have different points of view and different view points on this one. all good. I generally agree with you so that’s why I engaged this time.

[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
RWJC replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Absolutely. I consider him a leader because he has proven he can singlehandedly take this team by the bootstraps and use his blue collar work ethic to pull other players back into the game. that’s what a leader does. leaders don’t just score goals or block shots, they have the distinct combo of emotion, pride and the ability to reshape the full dynamic of a team’s effort. if not for Miller, we’d be sitting at a lower place in the standings - regardless of Bruce. -
He’s our best asset option to restock the future of this franchise, hands down. we should trade him for a true #1 G and a bag of cats!

I hear ya, i was just quoting from the article.

Say what you want about him. When Boeser and EP were struggling, it was Miller that carried this team. When Boeser and EP were excelling, who was performing at the same level? When EP and Boeser are putting up points, who is generally putting up points with them. Miller, Demko and QH have been the glue of this team while EP and BB were given time to find their games. Blame Green for that? Sure, but Miller (and/or Demko) was still arguably our top player for most of it. don’t know if you’re watching the whole or looking to pick at parts, but choosing that over the vast amount of contrary evidence is almost an absurdity…it’s borderline Alflives absurdity regarding Demko, haha. ;p

ok here ya go https://thehockeywriters.com/projecting-canucks-forward-boesers-next-contract/ “Boeser is in the final season of his three-year contract with an annual average value (AAV) of $5.875 million. He received the contract after posting 29 goals and 55 points in his rookie season and 26 goals and 56 points in his sophomore season. He will be a restricted free agent (RFA) this offseason. Since he signed his contract before the new CBA, his qualifying offer is based on his total salary, which is $7.5 million. It is hard to find contract comparables for Boeser. Other players with similar production last season include Kyle Connor, Evander Kane, Brayden Point and Mika Zibanejad. Connor received a seven-year contract with an AAV of $7.142 million. Kane earned a seven-year contract with an AAV of $7 million. Both Connor and Kane’s AAVs are tough to compare with Boeser since the starting point for his next contract will be at $7.5 million. Point is coming into the last season of his three-year deal with an AAV of $6.750 million and is entering an eight-year contract with an AAV of $9.5 million starting in 2022-23, which isn’t a cap-hit Boeser will receive. Zibanejad is in a similar situation as Boeser since he is coming off a five-year contract with an AAV of $5.350 million. If Zibanejad signs his next contract before Boeser, it will give both sides (the team and the player) an idea of how much the forward should receive. Unless Boeser scores 40+ goals next season, the Point comparison doesn’t work. The forward will have to have a career year to receive a contract with a cap-hit above $9 million. Meanwhile, the Connor and Kane deals are good comparisons for the term of Boeser’s next contract, while the Zibenajad deal could set the tone for the negotiations between the forward and the team. Projected Contract for Boeser The Canucks will likely have to offer Boeser a six to a seven-year contract with an AAV between $7.5-$8.5 million. If he signs a contract with a cap hit higher than $7.850 million, which is the AAV of Hughes’ six-year contract, he will carry the highest cap hit on the roster. “

Which is somewhat common to him when he’s on a hot streak. What about when he’s not? When he’s slumping? When his back check is listless? guess who is also at ppg? Miller. and where is Miller most visible? all 3 zones.
-
Just to clarify…I’m not arguing against him at his current contract. Value for sure. I’m arguing against him at 7.5 which is factually what he is entitled to next. Yeah he could sign for much less, but that’s hypothetical and somewhat redundant when looking at the current landscape and what facts we have as fans to utilize in our own perspectives. if we’re going to play armchair GM, and pontificate on what we each think should be done next, it helps to at least use real time facts to balance out speculation. Just my opinion.

Please re-read. In no capacity did I ever say or believe that only fast players can be superstars. In fact i mentioned the Sedins in the same post…

I’m not looking for any reason, I’m providing legitimate reasons and concerns about a player who is about to potentially receive more money for less production.
