Canuck Surfer Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 5 minutes ago, appleboy said: The real scary part of all of this is that the owners seem to be behind what he did. They may have had a chance to add a first for next year by dealing with Toronto. The big interview that Aquaman did , preaching patience's and saying that they would not sell the future and then this . They know that the fans want this rebuild done the right way so they talk the talk but are not willing to walk it. They are about to go big into the UFA market. Mark my words. You don't do this move without adding to our defense. They will be all in July 1st. Hell, Marleau may have wanted to play here? Allthough same time zone, its really only a 2 hour shorter flight to SJ. That would have been an awesome deal! My understanding is Carolina took the 1st, effectively so he could be bought out. And will sign in SJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus dude, whatever man, take it home as a win then. He was a spectacular draft pick for Vancouver who was humble and played his guts out for this team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If others that are pro-JB this trade can look down on others who don’t like it, then it’s fair play to receive it too. I think most people, even those that like the trade, agree that it was a steep price to pay. In fact, I don't think you're going to find a person on this board, or any Canuck fan in general that's like "Meh, who cares?". However, it looks to me like the people who are most against this trade seem to think Miller is absolute crap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generational.EP40 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 17 minutes ago, Generational.EP40 said: Just because we paid a certain value (a premium) doesn’t mean another team will if he remains a 50pt scorer. 1.) No team as bad as us in the past 4 years will be stupid enough to give their lottery pick up for Miller who’s a 2nd liner player and not even top line 2.) His value will go down as he gets older. He’s 26 now so even 2 years from now when he’s 28, his value will naturally depreciate. Unless he miraculously becomes some 70 point scorer. 13 minutes ago, Generational.EP40 said: He was actually 24 at the time & was dealt in a package with McDonagh so it’s impossible to tell what the actual value for just him was. And anyways, it proves his value depreciated in 2 years time and will only continue to as he gets older and creeps into his late 30’s. 31 minutes ago, Generational.EP40 said: Our fans are such homers and so delusional that they literally can’t think rationally without their emotions/bias/team pride get the best of them for a fair analysis. 27 minutes ago, Generational.EP40 said: Hypothetically, no team will give up what we gave to get Miller because we paid a premium which looks to be a lottery pick 2 years down the road. The Canucks are the worst team record wise over the past 4 years so the onus is on the Canucks to prove they can become a playoff team and not give Tampa what atm looks to be a lottery pick.....not the other way around which is what people have to understand here. 37 minutes ago, Generational.EP40 said: And for anyone that’s far up JB’s ass being that much of a homer who doesn’t acknowledge it as bad value, just think: We gave up more value to get Miller than NJ did to get Subban. Dmen are more valuable than forwards. Miller isn’t even a 1st liner whereas Subban is a top line dman and a Norris winner. ...perspective... I’m done lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTM is a 220 pound, 200 foot, hard on pucks, 50 point winger who is going to help Petey. And JTM is in his prime! EP is going to be even more effective with Miller. Petey might get 100 points with Miller! Don't let the username fool you; his favorite is Brad Marchand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really big on going out and getting a FA D on a long term with $$ attached. If JB can pull a hockey trade for one of Tanev Hutton I'm game Well brace yourself. All signs point to Benning going full out for Tyler Myers. I'm expecting another bad contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange that a rebuilding team would trade away more picks than the team did when they were an actual CUP contender. Benning has traded more picks away than Gillis did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasCanuck Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) 25 minutes ago, Generational.EP40 said: I guess some of the Canucks most trusted analysts are just “HaTeRs” too? Right. JB: great talent/scout evaluator, terrible trade evaluator. So, my take on this is, Burke does not run an NHL team, and would NEVER be trusted to run an NHL team. I will trust Bennings judgement over Burke’s any day of the week. We got a quality top 6 winger for what should be a late 1st round pick. I’m okay with this. We have players who deserve the chance to compete now! Edited June 23, 2019 by VegasCanuck Additional 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people/homers I’ve interacted with said it’s a fair price for a 2nd liner (what looks to be a lottery pick atm) 2. Nope. I think everyone has acknowledged he’s a good 2nd line player. We just don’t like the value which some people are disagreeing and saying it’s fair :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
