J.I.A.H.N Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) OK, I am just wondering what CDC thinks we would do "IF" we could only keep 2 out of Horvat, Miller and Pettersson I look forward to your answers Hey, don't worry about who replaces them, or who is the 4th line center...............strictly pick between these 3 choices Don't worry about Cap Thanks!

Popular Post BCNate Posted August 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2022 I picked Miller and EP. That is not a reflection of Horvat, but I feel the best way to manage our assets. EP is obvious based on age and upside. Miller is only 2 years older than Horvat, and I feel is a far better player right now. Horvat does probably have similar(ish) trade value though, based on the two year age difference, his leadership, and faceoffs. I keep Miller because that was we get a better player, and a similar trade return. To me the better answer is to keep all 3, using EP as a bit of a hybrid w/c, and trade Garland. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there can be only one (between Bo and Miller) then we should definitely keep Miller. Miller at 8.5 or Bo at 7? It’s Miller Time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Seemed like an easy choice - Horvat and Pettersson, but Pettersson would bring back a big haul in a trade, or a #1RD Miller and Horvat down the middle - gritty tough, perfect for playoffs, and both real good at faceoffs and scoring. The Canucks would be in win-now mode, so they'd have to shore up their D, with the return. geez, it would suck to lose Petey, though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I find Miller and Horvat as inter-changeable in regards to who is more important, and so, who do you keep? But as to your comment of trading Pettersson..................what does he return, and does that return make us better as a whole for the next 4 /5 years? Who fits better?

Short and long term................ Could Pettersson hit 100? I think he could, with added strength, improved skating. I don't think JR/PA even consider trading Petey, I was just thinking of a different scenario other than trading Miller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short and long term................ The cap is based on league wide revenues. What is inflation 8% to 13% depending on the province or state? The salary cap is going to go WAAAYYY up in about 3 years once this recapture period from covid is over and the league deals with what inflation has done to all revenue streams.

Phil_314 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Petey - Horvat as a 1-2 would be quite strong. Pete could become elite with health and gains from the offseason to fight through checks, and Horvat with the proper wingers (probably some mix of Mikheyev/ Pearson/ Garland) would be a good two-way line with speed that can shut down opponents. If Petey and Podkolzin both take steps forward, it'd help make moving Miller more palatable IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.I.A.H.N Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 Just for the record, I do not advocate trading Pettersson either. Just a point of discussion. IMO, we are probably 1 or 2 in the league at center..............got to be close! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run 3 lines with each of them and let McBaby cry when we come to town. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Maybe this should be the plan 1. Trade Horvat - go with Miller and Pettersson 2. Give the "C" to Miller 3. Go back to the "skate" uniforms 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
