Strombone1 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 News1130 Sports @News1130Sports Have learned the #Canucks have called the agent for UFA goalie Ryan Miller. Can't imagine Eddie Lack will be happy. News1130 Sports @News1130Sports Sources tell me, Miller would have no issues playing in Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spotted Zebra Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I'd imagine Vancouver would have to be promising him upwards of 55 starts, I'm ok with 30 for Lack though. Just please god no NTC, at the very least when can get assets back for this guy later on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strombone1 Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 My big issue would be that Markstrom would have to go through waivers. Don't think we should let him go for nothing. I thought they can send players down during the offseason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJDDawg Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Makes sense for him given proximity to Hollywood. Not sure how it makes sense for the Canucks at this stage if he's looking for $5 or $6 million per season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PavelsElbow Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Honestly, think its a decent idea to have a vet alongside the lackinator (dont want to stunt his growth like Dubnyk by thrusting him into the starting role when hes not ready), but don't want to blow a ton of cap space on him. We'll see what happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 This move would secure our immediate future as not being able to implement a proper rebuild plan, so I can see it happening. Ryan Miller, however, doesn't excite me it terms of 'win now' mode. Look at how horrible he was behind St. Louis' air-tight defense in the playoffs. There's no problem with Lack/Markstrom for the time being if the Canucks knew better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Miller for 2-3 years, playing 50-60 games and Lack playing 20-30 is not bad for his development. Was elevated to #1 pretty quickly, without behing tested really. All depend on Miller's demand. I assume Hiller would be for a backup role, insurance policy. That way Lack could play 50-60 instead of 65-70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches5 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 2-3 year deal max 5 million a year and I'm fine with this. I do not want to see all this cap space going towards signing Miller at like 7 million a year for the next 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desjardins' Mustache Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I would go for Hiller, we could probably get a better contract on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharnhayre Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I'm sure the Canucks will be calling all available players to see asking price and see what makes sense for them. Lets not start printing the #30 Miller jerseys already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 My big issue would be that Markstrom would have to go through waivers. Don't think we should let him go for nothing. Doesn't that kick in at the draft like Hansen's NTC. I only ask that because there were Edler rumors about how he could be traded before the draft since his NTC kicked in then from his extension. Also I thought you could waive players willingly in the offseason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missioncanucksfan Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I'd imagine Vancouver would have to be promising him upwards of 55 starts, I'm ok with 30 for Lack though. Just please god no NTC, at the very least when can get assets back for this guy later onno NTC and only a 2 yr deal to see if he can play up to par and not mess the bed as he has been doing the past few years since Lucic steamrolled him Never been a Miller fan per say. He reminds me of a guy that is great during regular season then craps the bed in playoffs or when the big game is on the line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
