I’ve got an idea. Keep Miller, make the playoffs and win the Cup.

 

All we need is a 8 game win streak and we are there. Have some faith.

 

Demi God Demko and Miller time will lead us the way. Bruce there it is will coach the team all the way. 
 

 

Love your enthusiasm!

I mean if Chytil and Lundqvist is all they were offering that’s a pretty easy decision.

I don't understand this logic...

 

So he'd be willing to sign for $1.5M less per year (over $10M less over 7 years) with the NYR -- the same team that traded him away to begin with?  Why exactly?  Because it's NY? 

 

I dunno, I've got a young family and NY would be one of the last places I'd want to be raising children. 

That’s because you aren’t a millionaire.  Lol.  
NY is awesome, especially if you have lots of money.  
Also, taxes would be a lot cheaper in NY than BC.

I guess if you're not a family man...

Miller isn't a real big fish

Miller isn't the player you want if you want a leader

Miller is ok, but he's not the all around player we need

if the team is dangling Chytil + Lundkvist, that 3rd piece better not be their 1st.

 

wow....

I've always wondered if the exchange rate cancels that out. They are paid in American regardless if they are in Canada no?

Correct, all NHL salaries are paid in USD.

FYI.

 

Kakko is out for a month with an upper body injury.

Yes that is correct.

 

A team from Vegas, Florida or Texas  currently enjoys a 30% reduction in cost over Canadian teams based on the exchange rate alone, factoring this in before taxation which nevada, texas and florida pay none of in comparison to a player from a canadian team.

 

It's very lucrative for American team owners and for players to be enjoying US markets.

The returns for a Miller trade must be astronomical.

 

They don’t make them like that anymore.

[flickyoursedin]

Lafrenierre is better than Kakko. If you have the choice take Laf. Not really a huge Kakko fan though if I’m being honest. I’d almost prefer Othmann over Kakko because of draft pedigree Kakko is costing more whereas the middle 1rst round pick Othmann is tearing it up in his D+1 season.

Nice &^@#ing try Larry Brooks.
 

No interest in Lundkvist.
 

Schneider needs to be in the deal or we should just look for another team that’s interested.

"Brooksie, get the f*ck outta here!"

                                            - Torts

 

I don't mind Lundqvist but if we get him instead of Schneider, the other pieces should compensate.

 

The return is going to be 1st + RD + F.

 

If RD is Schneider, F can be whoever, Chytil, Kravtsov, whatever they wanna give us.

 

If RD is Lundqvist, F should be Lafreniere or at the least Othman maybe even two forwards instead of a low 1st rounder.

 

If the Rangers don't get Miller, then they could very well be facing a 1st round exit against Hurricanes or Pens.

Jeepers. You can tell they never watch the Canucks. Miller is one of the best all around players in the game right now. 
 

PK, PP, Shutdown role, AND a top point producer. What more do they want? Backup tender? 

[I.Am.Ironman]

I'm wondering if they are looking at the record under BB and are planning on keeping Miller for a run next year. I'm not saying I think they should do this, but I won't be surprised if that is the direction they take it.

Fortunately, the Flames don't have anything the Canucks want in a trade for Miller.

Thing fans and writers for other teams don't seem to get is we don't have to move Miller - we could keep him. And the Toffoli deal shows you it's a sellers market at the moment.

If you get laffy or kakko, you're getting Lundqvist or Othman, not Schneider, imo

It's a mix of not watching the Canucks game now, and already have a preconceived notion of the player Miller is. They had him, they saw him, and they felt burnt by him. But that's when he was young and a different player. It doesn't surprise me some of their fans have an unrealistic view of the player Miller is.

Really want Byram from Colorado. Give them JT Miller retained for a Byram centrepiece package. It leaves their top roster intact for a real all in move. We take a big risk with Byram and the concussions but without it we’d never be able to pry him away. The only thing that sucks in this scenario is you don’t get a top Center or RHD prospect.

Byram has serious concussion issues right now. Not sure if he'd be the centerpiece for me without some insurance.

Prefer a package around Compher, Newhook, Barron and their 23 1st.
