Popular Post 73 Percent Posted July 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) 17 minutes ago, NUCKER67 said: Miller is a very good player, but I think his good year has taken away some attention from what Bo did last year, and how Petey finished. Horvat 31 goals, Petey 32 goals. Boeser had an off year and should be good for 30+ this year. They've also added Kuzmenko. Sure, no one really knows how he'll play, but I have a feeling he's good for 20+ goals. Podkolzin might take another step this year too. Not to mention the good, young player(s) VAN would receive in a Miller trade. They'll be fine without Milly Forgot about the obvious bounce back of hoglander. Plus the monies we can use on a player in place of Miller. His 100 pts (likely 75) will be easier to replace than most think Edited July 6, 2022 by 73 Percent 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 13 minutes ago, Johnny Torts said: Well, Pasta is also going into the last year of his contract and has apparently requested a trade. Boston was linked to Miller at the trade deadline I believe. Pasta would look real good in Canucks colours. No insider has that news. Sweeney and Barry confirmed that they will be talking extension once they are allowed in mid-July. “I spoke with Don and David this morning and we don’t know where this report emanated from,” Barry said. “We both have a solid relationship with Don and the plan hasn’t changed one bit. We will sit down in July and begin extension negotiations.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People may need to brace themselves for a resigning if they are to be believed. The meltdowns will be glorious Can't speak for anyone else, but I don't do meltdowns. I'll simultaneously be happy we retained a high quality player for what would have to be a below market hit, while also acknowledging it likely hurts our looking term chances of success in 3-4 years, right when we should be most competitive. That said, I suspect his "near $50m" is likely closer to $55m. And $48 and $46.5m aren't "close" to that. Try more like $8x7 or $9x6.... So yeah, not particularly worried. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayinblack Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 54 minutes ago, Podkolzins Snipe said: My preference would be they choose to keep Miller and trade Horvat. I like Horvat and a lot about him but also see a lot of weakness in his overall game and the biggest is inconsistency where he goes through long stretches of doing absolutely nothing to help the team when needed spending a lot of shifts stuck in his own zone so tired he can barely stand up and a shooting gallery on Demko. Anyway on Miller possibly going to the Devils because it's likely that he's the guy traded what I'd like for a deal is we trade Miller and our 15th for their 2nd and take the best defenseman available and Jesper Bratt and then get Marchmant. Imo this trade and these moves would be absolutely amazing for the future of our team! We've got to move some wingers before we take on more of them. And then decide if we go with Petey as 1C or find another center to replace Millers draws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not an easy situation for Miller imo. We can move him now for an OK return (the Chytil, Lundkivst, late 1st type of return) and then he's basically a rental and has to go and start negotiations all over again with is new team. If we can keep him at 8 x 6 we need to do that. I still think we can make significant UFA upgrades by clearing out Myers, Pearson, Garland and Dickie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like Canucks and Miller are close to $$ aav but not on term. Say something like $8.5M x 5yrs but Miller wants 8.5M x 8yrs.

Warhippy Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 So now we're trading Hughes AND Miller? And in some instances to the same place for two mere picks and two prospects/young players? That's it?

Miller wants over 60 million. To get to that we need to go too much on the cap or too much term. If Miller would come down to the low 50s in total then there is likely a deal for 7.75 x 7 years. He compromises and so do we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
