But if signing him means a contract allocating more than 6.5 in cap per year (over 6+ years) then we will need to balance that cost with the value he has in trade. IMHAO Bo has more trade value than Miller. Maybe it’s better for us to sign Miller to 7.75 x 8 years and trading Bo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secksii Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I think if jt Miller gets traded to NYR, we will get kakko + chytil and their 1st. Alvin is probably trying to pry Schneider but Drury is holding firm. So instead of Lundqvist, he's replaced with Kakko from the offer earlier in the year. Lundqvist isn't the type of dman canucks are looking for, nor is chytil the type of centerman the Canucks are looking for either, but it's always nice to have center depth. Especially with Miller gone. Then again, alvin could decide to not trade Miller and just use him til the deadline. Although that's risky for so many reasons.. Less teams may offer, but the offer may be much better if they're trying to win cup. The risky stuff is if canucks are in playoffs, and trading Miller would make them out of playoffs or much less threatening, and I don't see aqualini telling Jr and alvin he's okay with trading Miller for the future, instead of making money selling playoff tickets.

GB5 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Nice post, I always appreciate when people put the effort into these proposals. The Flyers trade is good, Laughton is a player I like but I am wondering where is Philly right now? are they trying to regain their footing and start to win as son as possible or are they entering a rebuilding phase? Hiring Torts makes me think they think they can win now or at least soon so adding Miller should make sense to them so I would take this and go with it.

I think everyone would wish we could sign him but eight years in unrealistic and will become an albatross in the last several years and something we will all regret especially at almost $8M/yr. Keep in mind that he'll be approaching almost 31 y.o. when his new contract kicks in 2023 - meaning he'll be close to 40 when an 8 year contract ends and I strongly suspect he'll be "cooked" by 34-35 (if even that) at the tempo he plays. If it was a 5 year deal at that $7.75M or 6 year at less $ that would be acceptable. Unfortunately, I think he'll be gone shortly, as apparently the team and Millers agent have not made ANY progress since contract talks began - which says it all and now is the absolute ideal time to trade him to get maximum return value.

This is what happens when you have 20 years of Stoic, emotionless Swedish Finesse players sounding the bugle. It started a long time ago and got entrenched with Nazy, then the Sedins, who eventually molded & neutered Horvat into the relic of what he once was as a feisty, competitive player. As a result, JR will have little choice but to tear down the team. You can rest assured that we likely won't recognize this team in a few years when the worst of the rebuild is behind us and THE CULTURE IS FUNDAMENTALY CHANGED! https://lookcharms.com/rutherford-thinks-the-canucks-room-is-a-country-club/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get into the playoffs it's simply physics. You can only take so many hits at 175lbs. Not holding your breath for William Lockwood I guess...

So, smaller players like Savoie, Ostlund, Mesar, Nazar, Howard, Casey might not be the type of player they're looking for? Maybe they're thinking: Gauthier, Lekkerimaki, Kasper, Geekie, McGroarty, Snuggerud, Bichsel, Pickering, Chesley, Odelius. Good sized players with an edge and a bit of snarl Since when is Lekkerimaki "a good sized player with an edge and a bit of snarl"?! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks can still circle back to him but there's plenty other 4th line players around the league. Like Lazar is far better and is right handed. Lammiko stood out when highmore and motte used their speed to create chances. After motte left, both lammiko and highmore struggled immensely.

winthecup Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 On defense Canucks should look at Klingeberg, Chiarot, Zadarov, Kulak and Josh Manson. At forward; Trochek, Dylan Strome, Mason Marchment, Nino Neiderreiter, Rodrigues, Max Domi, Lazar, Brett Howden, Nico Sturm, Johanssen, stepan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) I suspect we sign Lazar for cheap early on, maybe another depth player... then don't see any other action until the frenzy slows down and there are players available for value. We didn't clear any cap so no idea what else we could do unless someone is on their way out really soon. Edited July 13, 2022 by Provost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get real desperate for a right shot d in free agency they are looking at possibly Anton Stralman, Justin Braun, and maybe Jan Rutta if they don't get outbid. But realistically think they can land Curtis Lazar and Noel Acciari both right hand shot 4th line center types to improve the bottom six. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure we can improve much by switching out our 4th line players considering our 4th line last year was the best line we had in many games. Our problem isn't the 4th line, it's the 3rd line. Lazar and Acciari are 4th line guys. Unless we get a true 3C and more speed and skill on the 3rd line we aren't going to improve much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
