Pavel the Bure Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 1 minute ago, Alflives said: We need young guys who play hard and have skill. Then we use the 20OA to pick Lambert. Those three become our new third line and will push the top six for minutes. We would be younger, faster, tougher, and better. Plus Miller 30 years old and wants 8 years deal, so another team must be in position to resign him and compete for a cup. Add F/A list on July 13, (Kadri for example) and numbers of teams who Realistically can/want to trade for Miller can be limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I am in no rush because if he is not traded today, next week is also fine as it allows for teams to work out an extension but also ensures they are giving up 2023 picks as opposed to this year. The value of what you have vs what might be is essential. The rumoured offer of Kravstov/Lundqvist and a 1st from the rags doesn't even budge the gd needle for me. A former 9th overall RW that can't even produce near ppg numbers in the KHL over such giants as Corban Knight and Curtis Valk. And or a tiny non productive thus far small RHD that gets bodied off the puck by guys like Jeff Skinner do less than nothing to help the Canucks and their roster/depth and futures problems at all. If he isn't traded today, this thread will hit 850 pages by this time tomorrow and literally nothing will have changed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 7 minutes ago, DeNiro said: Washington’s offer is getting closer but still doesn’t solve our needs. No right shot D or legit top 6 forward. We don’t need bottom 6 role players. I understand not getting a right shot D is tough, but two quality center prospects with top 6 potential, one of which should be able to step in as our 3C next year, and a 1st rd pick. That's hard to turn down if true. Virtually no cap taken up as well, which allows us to go hunting in free agency or flip one of the assets for a defenseman. Also allows us to go after D pretty much exclusively in this draft or next year's draft depending on when the deal would be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta have a blue chip player in this deal. Its a decent offer but they need to hold out for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are they going to displace Horvat or Petey? Both bring pretty much the same thing, would prefer one of them and a Dman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston didn’t have their own top five pick that was key to their core and winning. LA had Doughty, and St Louis had Peitrangelo. Only the Bruins in the cap era. Very poor odds of winning the Cup without at least one key core piece coming from a top five pick. The more the better. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey Castiglione Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Rags will give in. It is their way to try and buy wins instead of developing players to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pavel the Bure Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Heard some teams are, rightly or wrongly, hesitant to trade for JT Miller because of past questions about personality. We call that LEADERSHIP here in Vancouver!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your're just worried about getting players out of the country in general, I think that will be a short term problem.
