  1. I agree. My post was to another poster who said I wanted Miller re signed even if we over pay him.. But going by the type of money that went out this free agency Miller not getting 9plus million. He had a career year. By far his best year.. I doubt he repeats that
  2. I understand that.. but here's the thing. IF this team is a 100pt team and at tdl it looks like we could win a cpl rounds hopefully more we will be buyers at the tdl.. we'll have to give up younger assets and picks to bring in help for a playoff run.. So if we still have Miller instead of giving up assets for rentals for playoffs we keep Miller instead and don't five up other assets and not get someone of Miller's quality back. IF this team isn't a playoff team then we trade him at tdl... There is no rush. Tdl is 8 or 9 months away. He can play out the season and we decide at tdl what to do.. Other players will be definitely happy because they would rather have Miller on the team over a 3rd line roster player and a pick or prospect. Players want to win now not 6 years down the road.. Horvat and Kuz will be UFA next summer. Do you think they'd rather re sign if we are a better team or worse team.. Unless we get a top 4 RHD plus there is no need to trade Miller..
  3. Not true. I am in the camp that we keep him until tdl. If we look like a solid playoff team we keep him and try win some rounds... IF we don't look like a playoff team and can't re sign him to a 5 or 6 year under 7.5 mill we trade him for a pick prospect and a mid level roste player. I would not keep him if it requires 7 yrs over 8 mill. If it's reasonable deal I'd resign him in the max 6 yrs 7.5 aav range. Give or take a bit on aav but not term more than 6 yrs.
  4. There are no good offers right now.. everyone trying to get better thru free agency signings.. If we're a 100 point team gliding into playoffs then you keep him. Try win cpl rounds and see what happens if he walks he walks..if we suck and not a playoff team we'll get 1 roster player prospect and 1st at tdl and we take it. We're not getting anything more now than we would at tdl. So no rush. No hurry.
  5. Miller not going anywhere until atleast tdl JR said today on Dhaliwal and Donny show what I been saying. What's the problem. Finally got a mgmt guy who can talk to media and say it as it is instead of being a pleaser and talking like a politician. JR said what is right.. no need to worry there is no rush..see what happens at tdl. Until then everyone relax.
  6. I remember that. Canucks said that during arbitration hearing. I remember the comparison of battleship vs ?? But I don't think it was a canoe.. it was some other sort of a floating vessel but not a canoe.... not 100% but .... don't think he called Janey a canoe..
  7. So how is that a locker room distraction. You think other players will cry about that and there will be a split in the locker room and players will argue with each other ? I don't understand what the problem with other players will be. If anything they want him here instead of prospects and picks so they team has a chance to make the playoffs and win a couple of rounds. Players come and go every year. They're all in the same business.. If you're saying it's a distraction for some fans who want something to whine about then sure. But this won't affect the locker room or team cohesiveness.
  8. Exactly. It's not a team issue or player issue or locker room issue. Just whiney fans issue..
  9. Ya ppl are making things up as they go. Just grasping at straws and changing the reasons. There's nothing to it. It's a nothing burger. Non issue.
  10. ? You just suggested one post above if Mackinnon was going into ufa it would be distraction. I don't understand. Now he's not because he'll extend next summer?.
  11. Absolutely not. McKinnon is going into his UFA year next season exactly like Miller is. What is the distraction? Is he not getting paid? I don't understand why this is an issue for Canucks but no other team in the league. Every year top tier stars play out their contracts in ufa year. Sedin twins did that here in Vancouver.
  12. Avs won the Cup with Kadri Nichushkin Burakovski all in ufa year. No distractions. Their goalie Kuemper was also ufa.. Look at all the stars around the league that just played out their ufa year. Which one of them was a distraction? Why do Canucks fans worry about this non issue? Every big ticker ufa today was in their last year. I don't understand why people keep worrying about Miller being a distraction for the Canucks in his last year. It's over thinking a non issue for nonreasin what so ever..
  13. NYR Trocheck agree on 7 year deal. Scratch nyr off the Miller trade list.
  14. NYR are reported to have signed Trocheck to a 7 year deal.. Scratch nyr off the list for Miller.
  15. I don't think Miller signs an extension with anyone unless it's close to a 10 million 7 or 8 year offer. He'll want to go UFA and have teams bid on him and pick where he wants to go after seeing offers and presentations from multiple teams next summer.. it's a risk but he'll bet on himself. He'll be the best player on the Canucks again and put up another 90pts + season. Next contract will be his last am6d he's planning on loading up a brinx truck and taking it home to his wife and kids.
  16. Bottom feeder teams always have to overpay for UFAs. JR did a great job with Lazar and Mikheyev signings. Got them both at good money and term. Canucks had a very good free agency day today. First time in many years..
  17. A favor to Millstein for him bringing his clients Kuz and Mikheyev to the Canucks.
  18. Regarding trades and going after certain players on the ufa market what JR says publicly has zero value for truth.. he's not going to tell us anything he's upto. If anything he'll tell us the opposite. This business is all about keeping things quiet and not letting other teams know what you're upto. It's all lies and deception until the signature is on the contract and an announcement can be made.. I don't know if there's any truth to this report most likely nothing to see here.. but what JR says means nothing.
  19. Oh OK Dhali. Canucks are going to tell you exactly what's going on behind the scenes.. Did you have prior knowledge about all the UFAs they signed today? Lol Not saying its a thing. But Dhaliwal isn't Fransesco Aqualini where JR is going to tell him exactly what he's upto behind the scenes..
  20. Johnny Hockey got Gudbranson this contract. They brought him into so JG would sign there and feel comfortable on amd off the ice. Their wives are close they are close off the ice and little Johnny will feel safe on the ice with Guddy protecting him..
