With Dickenson, that'll be more of a shut down role. Sounds like the nucks are going to try to take some defensive responsibility away from Bo. So he can focus more on offense. If Miller were to be 3LC. I see it more like Hoglander - Petey - Boeser Pearson - Horvat - Garland Podkolzin - Miller - Dickenson Podkolzin could switch early with Hoglander if he proves he belongs. Would bring some toughness, net presence and tenacity to that line. I feel Garland is going to ride shotgun with Bo for the year. If they Gel. Bo has been needing that ideal playmaker.. and I think Garland is going to be great with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see experimentation with Miller as a the 3rd line C, but I don't think it makes enough sense to stick with. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 If they can re-sign Pettersson, the Top 9 should be one of the best in the league. My guess: Pettersson - Miller - Boeser Hoglander - Horvat - Garland Pearson - Dickinson - Podkolzin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickinson works on the 3rd or shut down line 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48MPHSlapShot Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 It would have been nice to add one more offensively minded forward to really round out the top 9 and drop Dickinson down to really roll 3 offensive lines. As of now I think we're one forward short. Pius Suter would have been a great addition. Miller Petey Garland Hoglander Bo Boeser Pearson Suter Podkolzin Motte Sutter Dickinson Oh well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcam Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Miller 6'2, 218 lbs, playing his best hockey in Vancouver with 2 more full seasons under contract.. He will be 29 going into his last contract? He will want 6.5 - 7 million X 4 yrs?? I would trade or take that money and sign younger player... AT some point you have to make tough decisions? There will be big contracts with other players soon enough... Examples -11 players Petey 3 X 7.5 -soon OEL 6 X 7.25 Miller ??? 2 yrs away-- will be 29 Hughes 3 X 6.8 -- soon Boeser 4 X 6.7 --Next summer Horvat 4 X 6.5 - 2 yrs away Myers 3 X 6 million Demko 5 million x 5 yrs Garland 4.9 X 5 yrs left Rathbone 1 yr away... Hoglander 2 yrs away Podkolzin 3 yrs away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoglander 2 yrs away Podkolzin 3 yrs away Boeser’ qualifying offer will be $7.5M. And if he continues to play like he did last year, he shouldn’t have to accept less.

Popular Post Googlie Posted September 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2021 I hope JT takes Podz under his wing like he tried to do with Jake. I could see Podkolzin soaking up every scrap of advice the vet offers. They play the same style of game.... relentless puck pursuit, hard on the boards, backckeck ferociously, go to the dirty areas, stick up for teammates, etc. I'd love to see them on the same line. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertspissedoff Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 In one of Natalie Millers posts, her friend implies there's only 2 years left of the travel. Take what you want of that but I doubt he stays past his contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take what you want of that but I doubt he stays past his contract I doubt we were keeping him anyway. He's here to make us competitive now and help give Podkolzin a bar to aim for, and the time to get acclimated. His cap is going to be needed to give Boeser, Horvat and Hoglander their raises. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
