He’s a spark plug and guys like him and Garland cause our whole team to play well. It all depends on JR... if he thinks the Canucks can make the playoffs and keep playing the way they have under Boudreau, does he risk disrupting the team. But I found it a very intriguing trade if we can get A. Lafreniere + for Miller. It would be good for the long term of the team, the short term it might set them back. Miller’s influence and his level of try/compete/effort/care are highly valuable on the younger players on this team. I think lots of people undervalue the whole package of what JT brings.

Warhippy Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 NYR have a history of wildly over paying for star players. I'd say let's do Miller to NYR and I'd the return is Lafrennier ++ we then flip Laffy to Montreal for a prospect and a high pick this and or next year Who do the habs have that we want? And do we want a 2nd + this year, or their 1st next year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. But we don’t really need forwards coming back right? We’re more in need of RHD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost guaranteed he won't be in Van after this contract runs out anyway. That’s my gut feeling as well. I think Miller has been saying all the right things to the media, but I think he wants to probably 1. Get paid, and 2. Win a championship before he retires. That’s not going to be us. I can even see him going back to Tampa Bay, if they would want him, and if he’d offer to give them a discount considering the tax situation in that state.

Bo to me seems like a 60-65 point player, maybe he hits 70 points a few times in his career. He has yet to do it once in his career yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently that’s how bad they’re trying to get Miller. It could get interesting if the Canucks fall out. Would be amazing if we got Laff, Schneider and a 1st. That’s a deal that I don’t think other teams could come close to matching, and it would put NY in a position to go pretty far in the playoffs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a rumour a few pages back regarding lafrennier/kakko and pick(s) about how the rags and nucks talks are heating up Why not? If we snag Lafrennier we can absolutely throw him to MTL for a 1st + We get NYRs 1st/2nd this year, MTLs 1st this or next year plus a top prospect. Lottery protect it for top 5 this year or open trade next year no restrictions. That's 2 top prospects, 4 total 1st round picks over the next 2 seasons, one being high because the habs gonna be baaaad for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plays C or wing and is strong on faceoffs. Plays PP and PK and plays with his heart on his sleeve. It isnt a coincidence that he broke out once he was given top line minutes on our team. I love Bo but everyone knows what we have in him. He has played 1st line minutes for a few seasons already and has never gotten close to PPG. To say "Miller isn't some irreplaceable player with a skill set that can't be matched" is foolish. And maybe Bo might reach Miller's level, but to say he will be better is a longshot.
