(6.5) On ice I wouldn’t say twice as good maybe a slight edge, factor in age and contract and I definitely say Colin is better choice also save $$ for another upgrade.

He needs to have an opinion on this for public consumption. There are obviously several teams who were interested in this player so I’m not so naive to think that it was either Buffalo or Vancouver but a second and a fifth!!!??? When they announce T Myers on Monday at 7x7 I’m gonna flip!! What if Benning offered the same as Buffalo? Vegas is better-off shipping him out of the conference, but that then makes Benning incompetent? He's not required to explain everything about every trade that happens just because you "need to know". 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerrDrFunk Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I certainly hope this was a situation of Vegas being reluctant to trade Miller within the division. Otherwise, that's a huge whiff by the Canucks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know that and assuming is wrong, if theres a trade that improves our team and the cost is reasonable I'm sure JB would pull the trigger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Screw Posted June 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2019 Hey, remember Canucks passed on the 8th from Edmonton in favor of trading Schneider out the division and conference to NJD for the 10th pick.

Draft picks have intrinsically more value than the players you choose with them, just like every lotto ticket is worth way more than the paper it's printed on because, just maybe.

If Buffalo got Collin Miller for cheap because they were a different conference from Vegas. Then why couldn't Vancouver get JT Miller for a similar price? Vancouver and Tampa are in different conferences. Let's not pretend that if The Habs traded for JT it would cost them another 1st. 2. Reports from the draft floor indicated not many teams were calling Tampa asking about JT Miller. So it's not like there was a heated bidding war for him. 3. Tampa, like Vegas, are in cap troubles. And, as we've seen in other trades involving Nashville and Toronto, it's the team bailing out these teams having the leverage.

I don't give a flying &^@# if he trades picks provided the return is on the money. In this case, it would have been. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect your opinion but I’d rather trade 2 second round picks (2020 and 2021) (rather than a 1 & 3) have Colin Miller over Myers, a UFA over JT and then have and additional aprox. 3 million extra to spend. we would have better picks and we would have more cap space. One example would be trade tanev to recoup one of the second round picks then you could sign Myers with Tanev’s salary and the extra $$ you saved. then the right side is Myers Miller Stetcher plus then the Canucks would only gave up 1 second round pick and grabbed a UFA forward.

Vancouver managed to pay more for Gudbranson compared to what Buffalo paid for to get Miller. Plus Vancouver could have easily offered the same deal than Buffalo for Miller. Buffalo didnt get miller?

On its own today’s trade is a singular event and does not need to rationalized by management. In context of and in connection to what might happen on Monday, however, I’m frustrated by the apparent opportunities lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
