asian player Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 They won't trade Miller within the division. Yea... because Benning was so scared to trade Kesler to Anaheim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoreanHockeyFan Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 those that thought we would sign him... We have other players to sign, and we are set in goal with Markstrom/Demko/Lack/Eriksson. Getting Matt Oconnor means that we'll have an unnecessary log jam and it'll also take a spot away from other players. Good luck to him in Ottawa. Getting Matt O'Conner would have made one of those goalies trade bait; something the Canucks need to reclaim some of theri draft picks. But yeah, regardless of whether or not we have O'Conner, we're still pretty good for the future in terms of goaltending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Makes more sense for him ... better opportunity in Ottawa to become a starter. With Hammond or Lehner gone and Anderson getting older, door is open for O'Connor as he would have to wait in Vancouver with potentially Lack or Markstrom and Demko in the midst.

Carl's Jn Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Not like the Canucks haven't landed unsigned players...Burrows, Kenins, Tanev, Fox, Sautner. There are a lot of teams out there, Canucks can't beat all of them every single time. Forgot about undrafted Eddie Lack that signed with the Canucks. its a typical response to disappointment..you know the canucks where targeting him and you know they wanted him...you know the hype and you know when they say a player is soon going to decide there is excitement....lately can't remember how many real gems the canucks got that everyone gets excited about...burrows and kennins good players but no real excitement... lack and tanev turned out good... but what about the hawks landing a Russian star... you get my meaning when i say excitement..... its the letdown...but i do understand where your coming from and i am not ungrateful for the canucks and who they got...its all about the hype...and the let down...

The-Impersonator Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 As long as it wasn't Edmonton No one on their own will wants to live in Edmonton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 SJ wants to get younger. Miller makes no sense for them. I could see them being interested in Lack. The Canucks want to get younger too. Didn't stop them from signing him. San Jose has too many big contracts right now to not at least try to compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley2051 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Yea... because Benning was so scared to trade Kesler to Anaheim? He didn't have a lot of options haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket. Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 He didn't have a lot of options haha No different with Miller and his NTC. Most likely wants to go a team capable of making the playoffs and staying in the west coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueberries Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Don't mind this at all. Only had success when Eichel came to the team. 2.89 GAA last year to 2.18 with Eichel. More impressive is Demko who had a better year this year playing against guys like Eichel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Hammond won't be resigned. I agree, he won't resign his position. They might re-sign him though. Not sure why they wouldn't, they'll be looking to move one of the top 3 for other assets and start O'Connor in the AHL. Just dropping Hammond for nothing seems like a waste.

Wilbur Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 The thing is that we're likely losing Eriksson (to Sweden) and one of Lack/Markstrom, so there was a spot available for him. Meh, AHL goaltending depth is probably one of the easiest, least expensive spots to fill. There are a lot of capable goalies out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 really sick of other teams getting these players.... just am. Grats Sens.... hope he turns out to be gem... Or, we're always one of the frontrunners, and we occasionally get one of the available UFAs. Not like the Canucks haven't landed unsigned players...Burrows, Kenins, Tanev, Fox, Sautner. There are a lot of teams out there, Canucks can't beat all of them every single time. Forgot about undrafted Eddie Lack that signed with the Canucks. Not to mention Hamhuis, Vrbata, Miller, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magician Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Yea... because Benning was so scared to trade Kesler to Anaheim? We were handcuffed with only a few teams. Better them than Chicago. Use your brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuckin Kingsly Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Keep Markstrom and trade Miller. The way he's going for the Comets, he seems more likely to become a number 1 than Lack at this point.Yes please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asian player Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 We were handcuffed with only a few teams. Better them than Chicago. Use your brain. Miller can make a list of 5 teams, his wife lives in California, San Jose will need a goalie if Niemi leaves... hmm How is trading Kesler to Anaheim better than trading him to Chicago? Because you'really just tired of seeing Chicago win? The fact is, if Benning really wants to trade Miller, or if Miller wants to leave, San Jose would be an ideal destination and with San Jose actually being a place he would waive to, it makes sense. Benning would not refuse to trade him because they'r in our division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it doesn't make sense because they would take our place in the playoffs with Miller and Benning knows that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcon45ca Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Keep Markstrom and trade Miller. The way he's going for the Comets, he seems more likely to become a number 1 than Lack at this point. Yeah, Markstrom's great in Utica, but he's pretty soft in the NHL...Canucks coaching staff had so much confidence in him they let him play 80 minutes though he dressed for over 20 games. At that rate Lack will play 70 games next season. Trade Markstrom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
