Moonshinefe Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 A very underrated player, I would assume because of the team he plays for doesn't get a lot of airtime. Love this guys style and play but at 33 he ain't getting any younger. But, 2 year contract? On board with that. Seems that's exactly what happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshinefe Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I don't understand the signing of Miller at $6M per season. Other teams were not that interested in him because of his playoff performance with St Louis...I would think that the Canucks could have got him for $4.5M per season; and if not, they could have signed Hillier for $4.5 M and still have a lot of cap room to work with. Their paying more for Miller than they would with Luongo... I hope Miller can stand on his head and save pucks. If he performs like he did for St Louis, then his goose well be cooked. No, they aren't paying more for Miller than Luongo, and his term (i.e. how many years) is a fraction of Luongo's.

Source: http://www.capgeek.com/player/405http://www.capgeek.com/player/683 Actually We are Paying 6.8 to have miller and not lu. So Miller Cap Hit is 6M and he is paid 6M Lu Cap Hit is 5.33M and he is paid 6.7m We are still Paying Lu 800k It's costing 6.8M for miller to be here instead of Lu VS 6.7 for Lu to be here. You are correct on the fact that the term is better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying you're wrong, just honestly unsure. I know there are a lot of subtleties that capgeek might not pick up on for contracts straight away etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I agree with Miller's term...Luo's term happens when you have a player agent running the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamhuis I'd take if he signs for cheap. Get rid of Weber. Just get rid of him. We seriously need to ink Prust though, what a player he's been for us.

DownUndaCanuck Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 In the perfect world I think we keep some skilled veterans + rookies, some gritty utility veterans + rookies and some tough veterans + rookies. That would give us the perfect balance for a team up front. Skilled: Sedins, Vbrata, McCann, Baertschi, Shinkaruk Utility: Sutter, Burrows, Higgins, Hansen, Gaunce, Kenins, Horvat Tough: Dorsett, Prust, Virtanen, Cracknell Personally I think we're going to need to do more than let UFAs walk. Some of those utility players are expendable, as are the tough vets. Prust has been huge for us this year but do we really need Dorsett, Prust and Cracknell in the same lineup when we've got Virtanen as well coming through? I think we're going to have to trade one of Higgins (most likely), Hansen or Burrow (less likely), let Vbrata walk or trade him at the TD ideally, and either let Prust walk (rather not) or trade Dorsett (much rather). TRADING OUT: Higgins, Dorsett, Vbrata RE-SIGNING: Baertschi, Prust, Cracknell (at least for Utica) Those outs could easily provide us with some nice value at the trade deadline. Then we go nuts with UFAs. Sign Lucic or some other top-6 scorer to replace Vbrata. Sign a top-4 defenceman. Happy days. Sedin - Sedin - Lucic Shinkaruk - Sutter - Burrows Gaunce - Horvat - Hansen Virtanen - McCann - Prust Baertschi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me_ Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Prust has be massive for the Canucks. But what if someone asked you to fight the biggest, meanest men in your Union, every two days... The Canucks need Prust, Dorsett and Cracknell in their lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
