Popular Post VegasCanuck Posted August 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2022 9 hours ago, IBatch said: Gotta love all this Myers love. There is a scenario where Myers retires a Canuck ... as in re-signs at half or less his current pay once his deal is done. Personally never minded the signing and have grown fond of having him on the team. OEL Myers did a lot of heavy lifting last season ... and weren't terrible despite playing against the league best often enough. Too bad we don't have another top four RHD in the mix. Or a defensive D like Tanev (or Tanev for that matter!). Severson is a decent target as a patchwork. Looking at what Toews is managing in COL on their top pairing ... Wonder what a QHs Severson pairing might look like. And it wouldn't cost much as a pure add just for this season. Myers takes a lot of abuse from the fan base, but he's actually a good defenseman. If the cap had kept rising as was expected, we really wouldn't be complaining about his number. Realistically, if not for Covid, we're probably a 90+ million cap by now considering it was supposed to go up by about 4 - 5 million in 2020, the first year shortened by Covid. 1 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said all the expected “I wanna be in Vancouver” lines you would expect from a seasoned vet. But reading between the lines the JT groupies should probably be making peace with an eventual parting of the ways. The hosts don’t know much about the Canucks as the phrases “Cup contender” and “strong defence” were used to describe the team heading into next year. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I get plus odds on Canucks making the playoffs, I'm hammering it. Yes, not a Cup Contender yet though. Scott was overly complimentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mustard Tiger Posted August 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2022 JR needs to do whatever he can to keep the likes of drance ect away from the team as much as possible. We are going to roll with Miller to start the year and we all know damn well what media is going to do. But all of it will be a moot point when Miller is on pace to better last season as the TDL approaches and we get the haul we dreamed of thanks to the desperate teams looking to win this year. There will be alot of good teams this season. Aka bidding war galore. We offer to retain 50% as well. You have to have some sort of brain trauma to not see how much value all of that can have to a contender lol. I think there is a reason we are deep at fwd right now... Fans won't like this route because of the self made drama, But the team will ignore it and probably exceed my expectations of 7-8th in the west If fans can sit there and say yeah but what if everything goes wrong... well it's just as likely everything can go right. Who knows but I've seen nothing negative from this new management to suggest we see the same old decisions as we have been accustomed to. #MustardSports hot takes 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the link! John Scott is a bit of a sh!t. You can tell Miller loves our team and the players here: - better opportunity in Van - want to grow even more - forechecking and speed is an attribute of his - likes playing as centre and breaking out of the defensive end - wants to stay versatile wherever he is needed - teams well with Petey in face offs and positional play - coaching change was good for the team, especially Petey - Petey is the best player when he is on top of his game - BB’s push stuck, didn’t have to change a whole lot…pk was the biggest issue - team defence was top 3 when 5 on 5 but ok killed them - likes to kill penalties, keeps him sharper with more ice time - frustrating that the pk at the beginning basically killed their playoffs - expect to be in the playoffs this coming season…better start, nothing needs to change much. - maturing players will naturally be picking things up Why don’t you have a 7 year contract making 10M a year? You’re Bergeron with more points! - new management. From day 1 want to be here. If not meant to be then I understand. Have to respect everyone’s vision. You are the face of the franchise. What do they say to you at the exit interview? What do you say? - we were going to negotiate an extension in the summer but no happy ground - media would give 90% fake news, a lot of bs in the media - I want to be in Vancouver. I hope it works out. You are a good fit anywhere. Is it distracting when your GM says he will trade you if he can’t sign you? Especially if you have another kid on the way? - try to stay out of it and respect their vision - I expect to be there and try to help my team into the playoffs You are a cup contender if anyone plays to their potential. How many first rounders does JT Miller get? Four? - I’m not saying You are smiling everywhere before but you are all business and look upset in Vancouver? - it’s the same face, I’m naturally more fired up and ready. You know about the gruelling nature coming up Pods future? - unlimited potential (goes on a lot about him), really unbelievable player. Just needs his language to pick up for communication of plays and he is working on that. He is gonna be scary QH growth? - pride in defensive zone, takes over games and out skates anybody, very smart, one of the best players if not the best player. We all will pick up our games even more Fight with Tkachuk 2 years ago? - both angry from recent strings of loses You said you would like to mature more? You’ve been in league 10 years! - not get too worked up or frustrated yet also keep my fire so I can play at a high level. Got to keep emotions in check a bit more often Centerman rest of career? - I don’t care whatever is needed. I will always do face offs and help where I’m needed What’s it gonna take to year and term sign you? - I’m not indulging that! Sedins around? - they watched our practices, watched us a lot, did not come on the ice. I would like to spend some time with them on the ice. John Scott digs into the Sedins and says they don’t do anything. All these guys who come back to teams like that do nothing. What the hell?
