  1. In fairness he'd be 3rd in scoring on our team, and that's playing over 10 less games than the other guys. 15 goals and 75 points is not terrible for a guy that is more a playmaker than a goal scorer.
  2. I look at Miller as a late 20s early 30s 1C that is currently in the top 10 scorers across the entire NHL. Then I look and see who else has done this. I realize only a handful of players in the past couple decades have done it. So I'm not exactly sure why we sell him short and say he's not a special case, but instead lump him in with all the other players that have never accomplished this feat? It's like saying JT Miller's point streak is not valid because he's not McDavid or Matthews.
  3. It's still a 75 point pace. 75 points in 82 games is pretty damn good if you ask me.
  4. I'm just doing what we all do best, arguing the best case scenario from our perspective I did a spreadsheet as usual and was able to fit in a 5.5m top 4 RHD in addition to Myers. Schenn or Burroughs was 3rd pair RHD.
  5. Do they need to though? If I were the Jets, I'd be happy with how Wheeler is contributing. In fact, the guy that was talked about being moved was Scheifele.
  6. I guess I'm looking at the 22-9-4 record and thinking if Petey, Hughes, Podz, etc take the next step within the next couple years, the Canucks would be an absolute force with Miller, Petey, Bo, and Lamikko down the middle. To think a handful of those 9 losses were when the team was playing with covid throughout the entire lineup is even more impressive.
  7. I'm going off the record under Boudreau. 22-9-4 over 35 games. That's almost half a season. This is no fluke.
  8. Not as difficult as you think. How many free agents have panned out for teams lately? How many late 1st round picks have panned out? Etc etc. With Miller you gamble on one thing and one thing only, how far will he decline because you know he will be effective and useful for at least another 3 or 4 years. Trade Miller and you gamble multiple times with low odds on all of them: 1. Use of $9m in cap 2. Draft picks 3. Prospect turning out
  9. 5m, 5m, 1m should be the distribution. We are lucky right now Schenn is playing like a top 4 for under 1m. Right now it's: Schenn Myers Hamonic Poolman Burroughs Not sure why we are carrying 5 RHD.
  10. Well I think Fiala is more narcissistic than Miller...
  11. Ooooo.... I feel a narcissism argument unfolding!
  12. The issue I have is that the pro-trade camp lays out the following: 1. Cap saved from Miller will translate to successful use of cap and not on useless free agents or re-signings 2. Prospects received will likely pan out 3. Picks will likely provide solid depth 4. Petey, Hughes, and others will naturally take the next step in their development 5. If Miller stays, he will definitely be useless in 3 or 4 years, and everybody else on the team will suffer and not develop like they would in #4 above
  13. Poolman is 2.5m Burroughs is less than 1m Halak is 3m with his bonus Martin is around 1m That's just two changes for 3.5m in savings
  14. Haha yes I agree. I'm getting close to a busy time of year at work though, so that's gonna mess things up for me
  15. Would be nice to see Turcotte and especially Clarke in Canucks colours... but man Garland would be a pain to play against.
  16. Can't say it's the best use of my time, but it sure is entertaining sometimes lol
  17. I dunno, I was saying Poolman goes and is replaced by Burroughs, but people somehow took that to mean Burroughs needs to play in the top 4
  18. Based on what I hear from people on here, it sounds like 4 to 5 years from now, so we might as well trade Bo and Miller too.
  19. Actually I think he likely retires by age 37 or 38 based on what I've researched historically.
  20. "And no, you can't replace them with cheaper players and actually expect to get better." --- this is EXACTLY what many of you are going on about with moving key players for futures lol!
