Popular Post Attila Umbrus Posted January 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2022 I wanted to give a shout out to Boeser. I thought he had a really good game as well. He’s been up and down but if he plays like that most nights it will start going the right way for him. That goal tonight was greasy and in tight. I thought he brought a bit more of a heavy element to his game tonight, he was in close to the net quite a bit, we don’t see that much I him… he’s actually got the build for it and I think he could have success playing that way. He’s got a quick stick to get little shots off in close. Keep er up Brock! 4 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to change my mind, but still think one spot isn't worth what we could be giving up - and hope we claw our way back, on his back really, and then go on a run that we can talk about for years after... Miller is the type of guy you want to go into a foxhole with. Same with Motte and Myers but he'd better keep his head down - easy target or at least gets something for that neck. The best possible scenario is this JB team actually is pretty darn good - and with some support we make the playoffs and show that we belong. Not many teams in our history have made it through the first round other then Linden ones. Guys like this do not grow on trees. He's not as skilled as the best in the league - a lot like Linden, but he's got that fire and it factor that all teams need to win a cup. Why not us? Playoff hero's are the bomb. A cup is awesome and what the ultimate goal is. Green got the team believing they could do it .... what can Bruce manage? 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting point you brought up. I agree that RFAs are getting paid big bucks already, but since everyone is up against the cap the squeeze has to happen somewhere and I would argue that the older veteran UFAs have already been feeling the squeeze for a few years.

I've been arguing against trading the guy for a long time too but am sick of butting heads with people over it. It's actually really simple: you talk to his agent and find out what he wants. If you can't do it, you trade him, but if you can, you get it done as soon as possible (i.e. the summer). Because this is a guy you win with. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlastPast Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 What a trade to bring Martin in. Is there any credit being given ? The sample size is small so far, but if he turns into a legitimate NHL goalie that is a deal worthy of some commendation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but look at what JB gave up: Vancouver, B.C. - Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the club has acquired goaltender Spencer Martin from the Tampa Bay Lightning for future considerations. Martin, 26, appeared in 15 games for the AHL's Syracuse Crunch last season, posting a 7-5-2 record along with a 2.83 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage. The 6'3", 191-pound netminder has played in three career NHL games with the Avalanche. In 173 career AHL games, Martin has posted a record of 68-76-9. The Oakville, Ontario, native was originally selected by the Colorado Avalanche in the third round, 63rd overall in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was the last time this org had the talent to have a debate about who should be moved for the most benefit? When Miller skated out last night and retrieved the puck for Martin it capped what this guy is all about. Top notch character and a real talent. I thought the same about Tanev and Marky. Trade him or keep him? As fans we don't know what deals are being offered. If JR moves Miller it has to be a really good deal. Failing that and based on whether he wants to resign then Miller has to resign or he has to be traded. I would keep Miller over Boeser but the return for Brock will be much less. I still think the d-side needs help. The goal tending makes the d-core look better than it is. Regular season versus playoffs requires bigger more physical players. JR makes the big money to make these decisions. I wish him luck. Wouldn't be surprised if Boeser goes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spook007 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 2 hours ago, IBatch said: Absolutely and that's the crux. Exactly. My gut is saying no - my heart says let's wait and see and give them a chance. Twice i've been excited for the future as in seeing a cup coming our way given the players we've already got. Getting Mogilny and getting Luongo. Messier ruined the first time. Luongo absolutely came through for us - so many amazing saves and games for us. I don't have that little tickle with this team yet. Feel we need a Garth Butcher like trade to push us over the top. Maybe i'm wrong. It's a tough place to be. Bruce has us playing well enough, so don't change a thing yet. Had we still be bungling our way through it all, the answer would be straight forward, and the way we were looking under Green, nobody would have battered an eyelid if JR sold anyone in the building including Fin... But now.... He will be on a loser from the star, should he make some tough choices, and the players brought in didn't live up to expectations... The 1st mentioned plenty of times will, hopefully for Rangers and their fans be pick no, 32.... so although it's a first, the players coming back in the trade have to have some serious value, and not just maybe top prospects... If not, we may as well run with the horses at our disposal... I'm not going to say which prospects or players we should target or get back, as I'm not smart enough to do so... This is what the management of the Canucks gets paid to do. But lets not kid our selves, if the team goes on a run the next 5-7 games and gets into the hunt for a playoffs berth, there will be real anger amongst some of the fans , if Miller gets sold to the highest bidder... For starters Deb has already invited anyone wanting to trade Miller to dance.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything to avoid that third scenario: let him walk to UFA like Tanev and Marky (although in Marky's case, it was the only path available). I would also consider trading Boeser. But if Miller stays, Miller can help make use of Boeser's skillset on a line that dominates the board and sets up the sniper in the slot. When Boeser plays with Miller as his center, he will score goals and put up points. That makes him a good deal at around 6 mil but not desirable if he wants over 7 mil. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slegr Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Can someone answer me this question: the current single game tickets that are still being sold off the Canucks site for the home games in February, are those tickets that you can buy already under the 50% capacity threshold? Or would they be potentially over that, meaning if you buy them, you could likely be told you can’t attend that game because it already has 50% seats sold from earlier?
