DeNiro Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 1 minute ago, Gawdzukes said: Yep as soon as reality hits next year his trade value will drop but so will his contract value. It's in his best interest to get it done now. Not to mention if there’s 40-50 million dollars on the table you take it. Any agent will tell you the length of an NHL career is not guaranteed. Career ending injuries could strike at any time and then you’re left with nothing. Give him his big signing bonuses and take the guaranteed money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calgary is losing their best player and overachieved badly last year. They also lack leadership and their top player has serious character issues LA is on the rise, likely division champs Vegas could rebound but their new coach is probably not a good fit there. Anaheim is rebuilding, a few years away San Jose is a mess Seattle has nothing The only group in there that likely makes the playoffs for sure is LA. The rest of the division is up for grabs and could be even weaker this year. I don't necessarily agree with your analysis of some of our division rivals but I do agree with you that we should 'be in the mix'. Despite what I pointed out earlier about our second half in my previous post, we were undoubtedly better in the 2nd half than the first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes him to 38, or until he reaches a believable LTIR. Starts 23/24 season when we have a 83.5 million cap. Ends 31/32 season when the cap should be in the 92 - 94 million range. I'm sure there are a lot of you who wouldn't do that, but you can't build forever, sooner or later you have to commit to a core and start building support pieces around them, same as we did to get to the cup final in 2011. I would personally take that deal all day long on Miller. Yeah I've been trying out JT Player Name for a bit now. It has a nice ring to it. Just have to wait for 4 years for CDC to update it automatically. It kind of sucks cause Miller is way easier to type. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McClane Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Chit chat was(and it was just chit chat/speculation) that if Malkin went to market, that Florida could be a likely landing spot. Most because Gino has a home in Florida. But if the Panthers were going to pursue Gino, hoping they could land him for that exact reason. Now that he has stayed with Pit, maybe Florida decided to put an offer in for Miller. Especially with a lot of there eastern competitors attempting to beef themselves up. There window is now.

He will shoot from the blue line rather than passing it to a wide open pettersson. Sometimes he shoots from the blueline, but he also goes hard to the net and drives the play with his size and spends time in front of the net on power play. He's also one of only 2 guys who has won a Stanley Cup on the team, the other being Schenn, although Schenn was in a much more limited role than Pearson who averaged .5 points per game in the season he won the cup with the Kings. That's the same point total he averaged last season, which if you look around the NHL, you'll find a LOT of guys making the same with lower averages and who don't have the coaches trust to play in ALL situations. You might want to watch this because, I think you're thinking of a different player....

I have nothing against them, personally, and if they start actually doing something then I'll judge them on that. On the eve of free agency they've done absolutely nothing to improve this club, despite them saying that big changes are needed. I like the moving Hamonic, Dermott look good from his brief appearance. They went to the wall to sign the top KHL prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it pushes Dermott and Burroughs (If here) to 7/8 with Dermott still a young guy able to jump in on either side. I like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He takes so much abuse from fans on this site and yet, he just keeps quietly producing, every single season. Rarely takes a night off, just does his thing. A lot of fans think you have to be flashy to be effective. He absolutely makes us harder to play against. Doesn't mean that he won't get traded as there's not many guys who I think management consider to be protected right now, but he has significant value if we do move him, he knows his role and plays it every night. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch_Canuck Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 With Gaudreau walking away from Calgary, I wonder if they get interested in JT Miller. A high scoring left winger. They are clearly familiar with Canuck players. Pelletier being a focus for the Canucks. Not saying I want it, would suck to see him thrive in that red jersey. Just thinking of possible outcomes.

Screw Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) This is my guess as to what will happen in free agency. Canucks will target a higher level winger perhaps Domi. This will push Dickinson and perhaps Pearson to the fourth line thus the thinking behind not qualifying Highmore and Lammikko.
