He will be Arizona bound. That's their window, and it look very tinted. Lol. They did throw A LOT of chips in on a pair of lottery centers - 22.63 million into Tavares and Matthews - and another 10.89 on Marner - and they seem dead set on retaining all three of them, which puts them in a hard place where the rest of their roster is concerned. Can they now afford to lose players like Barrie, Muzzin and/or Ceci to free agency - having given up Kadri, Brown, 1st, Grundstrom, 3rd, Rosen, in the deals bringing them in? What can they realistically / comparably replace those 3 with in free agency with their combined 10.75 cap hit? How do the Marleau buyout, costing a 1st, or the Plekanec (2nd) or Boyle (2nd) rentals look, having wasted them on closed windows - with the kind of top-heavy cap structure and relatively uninspiring (imo) pool of futures? Obviously an intensely unpopular idea in Toronto, but a "retool" move involving one of their principal/core assets may not be the worst idea. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE WORST ONE HES EVER MADE! just hilarious to think about how wrong people were about this trade when it happened hfposters voted..... Idiots....

Kanukfanatic Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 As awesome as this trade has been, nobody would have predicted this: Miller just 2 points behind our wonder boy Petey!! Wow. JT Miller should have costs two first round picks or a very high 1st rouder (which Tampa most likely does not get). I love hindsight!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Duchene will get around 9 plus mill. He's a 50 Pts C. We got Miller who's a power forward. One of the hardest positions to fill. He's at what 5.6 mill.. hes a big guy. Exactly what this teams fambase cried out for last season.. And he can play C or Wing. Gave up a 1st so what. Got a heck of a player back. He'll get more pts then Duchesne next season. Play on EPs wing. And provide a heavy game.. I seriously think Benning is going to look like a genius and everyone going to be surprised at the player he got to play with EP and BB Both BB and EP will have a lot more goals and pts next season because they have Miller as linemate. On 7/17/2019 at 12:56 AM, CanuckGAME said: This is just embarrassing to read. I think Millier is going to be great. But to say hes going to score more points than Matt Duchene really just shows your level of knowledge on the players. And the game in general. I would bet money you've never even watched Miller play and you're just typing your posts mindlessly. Duchene scored 70 pts last season in 73 games. JT Miller doesnt have that type of Offensive potential. I know you're going to argue with me on this fact, and you go right on ahead, but take your homer goggles off and use your head. So far Duchene 11g 23A 34Pts Miller 20g 32A 52Pts Is it still embarrassing to read? What do you think of my knowledge of the players now? Lol... 2 1 5 16 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at his 10 season career he has only hit 60+ points 3 times (2010, 2014, and last season). Take last year out of the equation and compare their point totals over the 3 previous seasons... 2015-16 Duchene 59 Miller 43 2016-17 Duchene 41 Miller 56 2017-18 Duchene 59 Miller 58 Grand total of 159 points for Duchene and 157 for JT. Pretty crazy especially when you consider Duchene was averaging 18:30 toi and Miller was averaging 16:00 over that span. Anything is possible in hockey but it certainly is not such a stretch to imagine Miller putting up similar totals to Duchesne especially if he gets 18 mins a night with Boeser and Pettersson. Yep... looks like we were on to something 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Has had the kind of consistent heaviness that just hasn't slowed down as the games tighten and they head into the stretch run. Goal, assist, +2 (in spite of the Eberle goal), couple hits, a block, a takeaway, 71% in the faceoff circle - huge takeaway 3 on 3 that turns into the transition to EP - Hughes gwg. On the road - against a deep, talented, balanced, well-coached Isles team. It's becoming his 'expected' impact on a game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) This could be the trade of the decade. Maybe one of the better ones in Canucks history. If the Canucks finish in first place in their division this year Tampa will get our pick this year which will be in the low 20’s. The player they get may never play in the NHL, or it may be a player who’s a 3rd or 4th liner. Obviously we will need to see who that player is and follow their career but at the end of the day I do this trade over again 10 out of 10 times knowing what we know now. Miller is a bonafide top 6 power forward, one of the better ones in the league. The way he is playing now he is worth far more than a first round pick.

This is CDC, every late first is a guaranteed Corey Perry, every 3rd rounder is Brayden Point and every Marek Mazanec is Dominik Hasek.

It was bloody murder around here. 6 years and 10 nhl games later for Mckeown... pretty hush hush. Derek Roy for a 2nd at the deadline was one of the biggest outrages ever.... 7 years later that 2nd round pick has never played an nhl game. That 1st we traded for Ballard takes the cake though. 97 games and 17 points of 4th line minutes before heading to the KHL for the past 5 years.
