Fiala (25) is headed into FA, only 3 yrs, younger than Miller; and he is on a contract year, headed into his prime.  Preferably, the Canucks get futures and a young RHD (still in his ELC), for Miller.

 

Fiala, is a player that should be acquired when the Canucks are, a legit contender.

Fiala is undersized and streaky im not interested in that guy unless its motte +

Potential NYR assets for Miller

I say keep Miller. He’s the type you win Cups with.

 

Besides, nothing impresses me in those potentials. They all carry high risk. In Miller, we k ow what we have and we know he’s got the playoff performance needed to go deep.

 

Like Horvat, the higher the stake, the better he performs.

 

Cant buy that.

 

Now if Colorado is desperate to make some noise and are stupid enough to include Newhook in a deal.

Time to start a new thread:

 

2. Juicy trade proposal floated out by Nick Kypreos this week.

If the floundering Vancouver Canucks (6-12-2) are willing to surrender to a reset and wish to maximize a return, how many contenders would be lining up offers for captain Bo Horvat?

 

The responsible two-way centre has two potential playoff runs on a contract that carries a friendly $5.5-million cap hit, and the rental market up the middle of the ice should be incredibly thin this season.

When his deal expires in 2023, Horvat will be 28 years old and searching for an estimated seven years near $7 million per season.

Will a long-term commitment to Horvat at that point align with a legitimate contention window for Vancouver?

If not, it’s not so crazy to think this winter could be the best time to move on.

What else does the club have to offer as a trade chip? Tyler Motte? Brad Hunt? Jaroslav Halak? Brandon Sutter?

Compared to a Horvat blockbuster, those returns wouldn’t be in the same ballpark.

Bo is worth 7 times 7.  If that's what it takes to re-sign him, do it.

Motte is 1yr older and would probably be cheaper than Fiala.  Both are FA's and would rather keep Motte at a cheaper cost; although, my only concern with Motte, is his durability.

If we had Miller under club control for several more years at a reasonable cap hit I say sure.  If he is 5 years young I also say sure.

 

Neither of those things are the case though.

 

The pieces listed here could restock our pipeline for years as well as giving immediate help now.

 

I would probably weight it a little more in terms of “now” to make it clear to the room that our window is just opening and not several years from now.

 

Retain on Miller and up the return.

 

Schneider (help now)

K’Andre Miller (help now)

Kravtsov (help in the future)

Barron (help in the future)

2nd round pick (help in the future)

 

for 

Miller 50% retained

Poolman

Schenn

The topic should probably be changed to reflect a general JT Miller trade discussion thread.

 

that being said, if the Canucks were to trade Miller his value is currently at an all-time high. Outstanding play, outstanding contract value, very good age for a contender. If the Canucks were to trade him it better results in a few foundational pieces coming back. The Rangers do you have what it takes to make the deal palatable for Vancouver. The only question is whether they are willing to go that far in for Miller.

I’ll say it again Schnieder, Kravstov, and a 1st is absolutely something we would strongly consider.

 

We’ll be kicking ourselves in a couple years when we’re desperate for cheaper young players to fill out the roster and our aging D core is no longer good enough to compete.

Even worse than not good enough, most will simply be gone. We currently have no succession plan to replace Myers in a couple more years or HaM(IA)onic in our top 4 next year, with them expiring. Woo/Juulsen can probably cover the bottom of the D but the top...?

 

And our top isn't good enough WITH those guys.

 

Chytil (cap, speed and upside), Schneider and their 1st should be absolute minimum. Any additional pieces (Schenn? Motte? Etc) or retention and it should go up from there (Kravstov, Lundqvist etc).

Impossible.  There is only one Brandon Sutter.

Change Kravtsov for Lafreneier and then it's more fair.  Pus, we will keep our Pool cleaner guy.

I went through the effort of trying to determine what JT Miller's actual value would be right now.  I think you'd be surprised at how much he should actually be worth right now:

 

 

JT Miller alone without any retention should bring in a MINIMUM of:

 

Chytil

Blais (I think Blais could replace Motte should we choose to move him)

Schneider

1st

Agreed, you don't see too many deals involving a winger for a D.

 

Miller being able to play C could be what entices a team to move a top 4 D though.

The problem is.... We don't need a top 4 D. You could argue that Ekmann-Larsson, Myers, and Hamonic are all top 4 D men. Are you trading JT Miller for any of them? The canucks legit need a top pairing defenseman. 

 

As good as Hughes is he will always be a offensive specialist. We need another high caliber young guy that is our "everything" defenseman. Until the Canucks get a Hedman, Josi, Ekblad, Pietrangelo, or Jones type of defenseman they aren't going to win anything!

 

Unfortunately those guys are almost impossible to trade for, and when we thought we drafted one in 2016 it was a huge swing and a miss. (While ironically passing on McCavoy and Chychrun)
