His stats were elevated in New york by who he was playing with. Some team will give him 5 million plus, and it will be to go right back to the third line and get 40 points like he always has. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that price I'd be sold. He'd fill in nicely in the top-6 with Miller gone, allow a player to be "moved down" as Rutherford stated. Give the Canucks someone in the top-6 other than Horvat who is strong along the boards and in puck battles, the "balance" Rutherford is maybe speaking of. Plus can play all 3 forward positions and could slide into 3C if needed. He'd be signed thru his prime. Kuzie - Petey - Boeser Hoglander - Horvat - Garland Pearson - Copp - Podkolzin Aston Reese - Sturm - Sprong Lockwood/Dickinson Petey and boeser are a tire fire together. Copp doesnt fit here. No thanks to aston reese. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWJC Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) It’s a pass for me. Don’t think he moves the needle enough on our club to sign him for anything more than 4 x 4 per if we didn’t already have bad money on the books I’d consider it further Edited July 13, 2022 by RWJC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWJC Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 Wouldn’t surprise me if he circles back to NYR for less term but a raise if Rags miss out on targets. That said I’m sure there will be solid interest in him elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sure have short memories. Well teams all sign free agents to long term contracts. It is just dumb to suggest we don’t just because Player Name didn’t work out. The trick is picking the right ones to sign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebreh Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Any team stupid enough to give him that will have instant buyer's remorse. He's this Summers Blake Coleman, he will probably get 4.5m with term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 If we move Miller I like the idea of bringing in Copp, actually. Not at the asking price but if he takes a little haircut it could be a good fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilduce39 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) As a side note, this ask and Kadri reportedly asking for 8-10 mil is why I don’t believe there isn’t a healthy market for Miller. Even as a rental. Rutherford wants to re-sign Miller and/or is asking for the moon. Must be. Edited July 13, 2022 by ilduce39 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly the type of contract the GMS will throw at players this year and will regret within 2 to 3 seasons. It happens every single year.
