That's not news, but if you want cap flexibility, it's got to be a signifcant contract, no? Why not leave that last part up to better minds?

Not if you've freed up cap space and still manage to keep the best players on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving out fringe players just means that they have to replace those fringe players with other fringe players, how does that change anything?

Fringe players can be replaced by ELCs a lot easier than a PPG power forward 1C that plays PK and PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't understand how moving a few guys making $2 or $3m per year frees up just as much as moving one guy making $7m, then I don't know what to say to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t for one minute think that better minds exist on these boards than those that exist in management.… now,. How does that make you feel? I know I can’t answer your questions,.

You’re think Miller would re-sign with us, and if he did it would be for only 7 mil? I seriously doubt Miller will re-sign here, and if he did we would have to way over pay. So it’s far better to trade him, and he’s worth most before this TDL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks are not going to trade Miller while they are still in the hunt. There is almost half the season that remains and folks like you have written this team off. You sir are a terrible fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m Curious Alf ? what kind and who do you see with true cup contending leadership qualities on the Canucks if Miller was not here. Is it a person, or group that was here previous to Millers arrival? I feel if we are left with Bo and company,. It has proven inadequate already,. And would continue to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancouver is not some hick back country town. It’s one of the better places to raise a family. Regardless, by you not having any faith in him wanting to remain really makes me question if that is even a factor in the way you keep posting.

I think his leadership qualities are far more selfless than that, and would want to help the team ,. IF THAT SCENARIO PLAYED OUT. … just another reason to keep him really.

He’s not going to make public he’s not going to re-up here. What we do know is he hasn’t invested in our community. He’s got no ties here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much would you invest knowing you only had 2.5 years of employment in a city or town? .. perhaps you make him a sandwich when he re-signs Edited February 9, 2022 by SilentSam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a family and Vancouver is one of the better cities in the NHL to raise one. That is the biggest tie there is.
