I listened to his interview on Wednesday on SN650 and he never said anything about resigning in Vancouver. Only said that he is focusing on the here and now, helping this team make the playoffs. Here is the clip https://www.sportsnet.ca/650/peoples-show/hour-2-jt-miller-keeping-his-options-open/ Could you source the confirmation he wants to stay? Would really change people's outlook of wanting to trade him if he is committed to sign here.

We've just gone through that to some degree with Marky and Tanev...but we did have Demko and so that was a big part of it. We don't have a back up Miller. People have the shiny new toy syndrome and expect that whatever comes our way is awesome and foolproof. We're starting to see that some of what we already have is worth focusing on. It's almost like talking about trades has become more a matter of expecting immediate upgrades and future wins. A formula that guarantees success, but it's not realistic. That's a big "if". this organization cannot let an asset as valuable as Miller walk for nothing at the end of this contract 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 5 minutes ago, canuckleheads fan said: Although they're not showing up on the scoresheet every game, I've noticed a distinct improvement with Pods and Hogs compete levels since they each got a game in the press box. I think they were both picturing themselves as finesse players, and Bruce informed them that they're both muckers with some skill. I wonder if Bruce could have saved Virtanen's career with a similar touch. I doubt it; I don't think he's smart enough to grasp the concept and too lazy to put in the work every night. Very well said. Except the Jake part because there were seemingly character issues and it wasn't a matter of just learning on ice, it was beyond that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, I just think people need to qccept the fact that Miller isn't going anywhere in the short term. Next deadline is the only point I see him being moved, and that's only if management isn't convinced he'll be willing to stay. They're going to give themselves every chance they can to get him resigned imo. I highly doubt Schneider is untouchable. Not like he's Cole Makar 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's past tense. Why not say JT LOVES Vancouver? Present tense. Why not say JT is looking forward to negotiating his next contract to stay in Vancouver? Future tense. But no, the agent speaks like JT is already gone. Past tense. Edited March 6, 2022 by Alflives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any deal would be aimed more toward "future" but do you sacrifice what you're building to risk starting from scratch and TRYING to find someone to fill his role? The team identify and culture is being established THROUGH him. Again, there's a reason we'd be getting a can't pass up deal and that would be someone recognizing his worth. I hope it's our organization that does. agreed, it would have to be a "can't pass it up" if they are still in the playoff hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's our organization that does. The stupidest thing management could do trade Miller IF the playoffs are a possibility. It's been evident for a while that JT is our best, most consistent player. Night in and night out, he's driving the bus, he makes everyone he plays with better. Pearson's passion is palpable lately when just a month ago, he was going through the motions most nights. Miller's passion is rubbing off on those around him. I agree with Juice; Miller is untouchable; he is the kind of guy you cannot replace. You keep him and try to resign him. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Boeser's pass out front to Matthews was horrendous. Terrible decision, he had a guy behind the net he could've passed it to or shot it around the boards. That's Hockey 101 - Never pass the puck in front of your goalie. Matthews celebrating in the Leafs huddle, says "Nice pass" jokingly. Luckily, Marner's soccer kick also assisted on Chiasson's goal. Miller is going nowhere this season. Maybe Boeser, Motte and Halak, though 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slegr Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 18 minutes ago, BPA said: If Canucks continues winning, maybe JR/PA becomes buyers. Go get that D depth. That’s a fair statement. I’m so sick of seeing all the Sportsnet articles that include Oilers in context of playoffs, like “Who are Flames, Leafs and Oilers going after for the playoffs” or https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/how-improved-defence-from-top-stars-could-propel-leafs-oilers-in-playoffs/ Newsflash, we are now two points behind the mighty Oilers. Sure they have a game in hand, but we have all the momentum. Canucks have been on a mighty mission, and if we were probably any other Canadian market, except for maybe Ottawa, we’d be getting a whole lot more respect from the sports media for what we’ve already accomplished since BB came aboard. Instead though, they keep reporting about how Leafs should scoop Miller up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you DLC, I'm a big Miller fan, maybe even moreso. I think, right now he is as important to the team as Petey, Quinn and Demko; again, that's right now, and I don't think we let him go. I know this is unpopular to a lot of fans, but I'd trade Bo for a great return and make Miller Captain. Waiting for the negative feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, watching CGY vs COL last night, it's a whole other level of difficulty once playoffs begin. Canucks have a good team, but they need some upgrades on D. Maybe they trade Boeser for a Dman and actually make a playoff push? Leafs aren't doing anything this year without goaltending. Same with EDM. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
