I'd only do it if we had a 2nd deal lined up to move Girard for something else. Why not? Girard is an excellent, dynamic dman and though he's not big, he's not soft either. He can also play both sides. Seems like a good fit to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also having lefties in OEL & Dermott, ideally we'd find a good righty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although a smaller guy, Girard is definitely a top 4 D, can play RD, and he's 24 years old signed for 5 more seasons. But the clock is ticking on Miller. If that's the best offer, I still think Girard is a pretty good asset as part of the return for Miller (e.g. Compher + Girard + 1st). Since Girard is still so young and signed long term, there would be no short term pressure to move him if he didn't quite fit the roster immediately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they are now in the territory getting the best deal they can get, rather than one to fiil a specific need. Those windows have closed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballisticsports. Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 7 hours ago, EP Phone Home said: I do wonder what will come first a JT Trade or the introduction of Digital ID. My bet is on the latter. I do think that whatever goes down the situation of Bo and JT that it will be announced at the same time (If they are even going to do something soon) They are 2 valuable assets to the team (as players or trades) Maybe they got one deal accepted and waiting on the 2nd to announce? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Quote Having spoken to four NHL GM’s just today, VHN can report that there are (at least) two Metro Division teams still interested in the Canucks top centre. Where that leads depends on price point and timing. https://vancouverhockeynow.com/2022/08/26/vancouver-canucks-jt-miller-nhl-new-york-islanders-lou-lamoriello/ 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alienhuggyflow Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 With Daley confident the cap will be going up a lot for the 24-25 season, possibly mid 90s a ton of cap off the books next season, they need to re-sign him. And not just because I think he's an integral piece either. The fact is if we move him now we have a hole to fill. Possibly as soon as next summer there's going to be contracts signed that will be taking into account the cap will be at least 92 million (pre pandemic numbers but the numbers look better now, than before, due to the TV deal being a homerun.) So in order to sign a comparable player, with multiple teams bidding, even if said ufa chooses us it will be a much higher number. With the ability to do 8 years and JT willing to sign after a career year, possibly losing $ by not waiting, we get him at flat cap price, which will be huge since aside from Quinn the rest of the young core will be signing deals based off of a much higher cap. 8×8.5 for JT and 8×7.5 -8 for Horvat. Both easy to fit under the cap with all the buyouts, Loungo penalty, and contracts like Pearson, Myers, Dickenson, coming off the books and being replaced internally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I think JT should be named Captain. The video of BO celebrating in the bubble with a girl like scream made me sway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When things are going JT's way he is great, but there are times where he acts like a lil bi**h out there and that is detrimental to the youth on this club. Bo is the captain for a reason. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the potential teams are already over the cap and will need to use LTIR to be compliant. That means if there's a potential deal there's almost certainly a 'dud' contract coming back attached to other assets of some kind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
