canuckbeliever Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 For me, depends on term/price. 1-2 years its fine btwn 4-5 mill. anything more then no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket. Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 He signs fine, he doesn't fine also. As long as it's not over 3 years and above $4 mill. Anything exceeding that is bad imo but I'm sure JB knows what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wash Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Hope it pours today so that he's turned off of living here Beautiful sunny day here I'm afraid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Strome Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 A nice rainy day to help them showcase Vancouver. I can't believe the hate Miller gets on here. He's a great goalie who would be a good mentor for Lack, and maybe more importantly Demko. It's not like we have to sign the guy to a 10 year deal. He'd be here until Lack can handle 60-70 games on his own, or someone else emerges as a clear number 1. One would think he would want4 or 5 years though. I'm sure Lack would be more then ready by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua59 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I don't think Miller signing here is all that bad. As good as Lack is. He's just not ready and Miller is a good guy to play behind. Too many people are panicking about this. Miller didn't have much in front of him in Buffalo the past few years and didn't have time to adjust in St Louis . He'd be a solid puck up.

Fanuck Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I second and even third this. I truly fear that we have the best goaltending depth in the league right now with Lack, Markstrom, Eriksson, Canaata (sp) Corbiel and now Demko. The LAST thing we need is yet another goaltender. Some of the best teams in the league right now are doing it with relatively young kids in net. Crawford, Howard, Quick, Rask, Niemi, everyone in Anaheim We do not want to alienate a solid young player like Lack with a potential stud like Markstrom and Eriksson by bringing in a "vet" and basically telling them hey we have faith in you but....we don't trust you win it for us. we have far more pressing needs than goaltending to spend money on. i really hope this is not the case and a signing is imminent Ummmmmm, that's a humor post to lighten the mood of what will surely become a s#$t-show of a thread, right?

stonecoldstevebernier Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 If the Canucks do sign a goalie, I hope its Jonas Hiller. Give him a one or two year deal to split the crease until Lack's fully ready for the starting job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Frk Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I am perfectly fine with him signing here for a year or two. Nothing more though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be here until Lack can handle 60-70 games on his own, or someone else emerges as a clear number 1. I don't get it either. If we want a backup for Läck, then choose to go after Hiller. If we want a starting goalie that can handle it, we go after Miller. I'm down with having Miller here. He won't get a NTC contract here anymore. He'll get good money and fair treatment (from management not fans obviously) and that should do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 One would think he would want4 or 5 years though. I'm sure Lack would be more then ready by then. Who knows what he wants. Maybe he just wants to go somewhere to build his reputation back up. I doubt they offer him 4 or 5 years, or that he would even want that. He is 33 after all. I see him wanting around 3 years. Then he can reassess where he's at after that. At age 36 he might be ready to retire, or want to start signing one year deals like alot of goalies.

nuck nit Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 This team is a competitor with a very good goaltender. Miller fits that bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunningWild Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 He had a .913 even strength save percentage last season. Welllllllll below league average. Eddie Lack had a .921 even strength save percentage in his first season as a NHL player (league average), and got slammed with 19 straight starts. Not sure why Canucks would have an interested in Miller, Lack/Markstrom would likely produce similar or better numbers. Lack would outplay him my christmas and this team would be in the midst of another goalie controversy. A big no thanx to Miller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckofSteel Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I'd be happy to add Miller to a 2 year deal around 4-5 million per year. If it's 3+ years or 5+ million then no way, there's no point in signing Miller for more than 2 years as Lack will be prime time and Markstrom will be right behind him. I honestly hope we keep Markstrom though, the guy will be a very good goalie. Melanson will work wonders with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoosh Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Hiller wouldn't be a backup. Yeah, more like a 50/50 guy to split time with Eddie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Pretty ironic in the end. All the hand-wringing, angst, & end-of-the-world-is-nigh, because we couldn't keep one of our 2 star GT's. Now it seems GT's are over-ripe, & openly hanging on low branches. If we ended up with a RM, for 2 or 3 yr deal, it might work out. We may have all wasted too much time worrying about this issue. Also should appreciate Horvat & Matthias(hope they both become excellent), would NEVER get decent pieces for a GT now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobopan Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Could drafting Demko make Markstrom expendable or is it still too early to determine that? Im pretty sure Markstrom will have to go through waivers if he doesn't make the team with us this year.... So if we do pickup anyone to back up Lack/ or start Markstrom will potentially be gone for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
