Mikheyev - Pettersson - Garland

Pearson - Miller - Boeser

Kuzmenko - Horvat - Podkolzin

Hoglander - Lazar - Dickinson

 

Just stacked up front.

But the D. The D!!!!!!!

 

I mean, its a rather important ingredient to winning. 

 

Can we score our way to win a Cup? Has that ever been done in the modern era?

We have enough depth at forward, we can afford to move a piece up front in aims of improving the backend. Chill brah.

[Cromeslab]

Nice signing,we have legit center depth

I see Garland as the odd man out. Nothing against him, he's a battler. Just not convinced he's JR's type player.

that and no trade protection.

The fixation on contracts in this market gets a little ridiculous.

 

I do get it given blunders of the previous regime, but I'm tired of listening to people preface any conversation about a player with a negative comment on his contract.

 

Ala, anytime OEL plays great (almost all of last season) its.. "his contract is a little long, but he's been playing great..". Its like an appeasement to this narrative & it  always has to happen.... Its tiring.

 

Same thing will happen with Mikheyev. 

I agree with you. I  have had season tickets for  long time and regularly see 10 to 20 games live each year.  It is the same thing where people post that the place is a library and complain about the fans who attend live.  Really? How about you buy a ticket and go and cheer and not sit at home on your keyboard and bitch.

 

There is a vocal small percentage of the fanbase who wreck it for everyone else by their negative takes and putting themselves above the team at every turn.

 

The people who posted dozens of times to trade Miller are a small group who made way too much noise and personally I would wish that they take a break now and let the team gain some positive vibes without having us all listen to their negative nonsense.

 

Be  Canuck fan not a fan of your own opinions.

In all seriousness it's not as bad as I thought it'd be contract wise, but I'm not a fan of the term. Looks like it was probably Miller's side that caved. 

 

But no, I'm not a Miller fan and I'm still skeptical of this contract and his ability to play up to it for the duration of it. I'm not here to rain on people's parade but I'm not obligated to like anything, if others want to that's fine. 

 

Realistically I won't be here as much or following the team as closely and I've already begun to care less since deciding to step back from hockey, which is why I wasn't in the Miller thread as much.

huge win for canucks, fans have to realise that you have to payout a player for their performances, look at huberdeau contract and compare with miller.

Players like him are so hard to find

The same people who assumed he didn't like it in Vancouver and wanted to play in the USA will say that Aquaman forced this signing and is the real person making the moves....you know the same old story based off of assumptions and real great detective work.

But no, I'm not a Miller fan and I'm still skeptical of this contract and his ability to play well for the duration of it. I'm not here to rain on people's surprises but I'm not obligated to like anything, if others want to that's fine.

Perfect.  As a Canuck fan I wish you the best and don't let the door hit your arse on the way out!

They did it, they really did it. I been saying 8mil was the absolute most I'd do. And there ya have it. They snoozed by all the trades, but at least didn't snooze through the rest of his current contract. Keeping him at 8mil is fine by me. Glad it was 7 instead of 8 years too. Small difference but still.

 

The losing players for nothing PTSD can finally pass for now. Lol.

[NHL97OneTimer]

WOW!  Aside from being a little sad that the other thread didn't hit 2000, I'm pumped to have Miller continue on this team.  Every team needs a heart & soul guy and he's it.  He's the leader this club needs to hang on.  With that said, I'm a bit nervous like many others that PA caved in for a 7 year term.  Was hoping for a $7M x 6 contract but knew I was dreaming.

Right hand side needs work. I like Myers but it’s time to move out Myers and trade a winger for a RHD. Much easier said than done.

Boeser has trade protection? I don’t think Garland should be the odd man out as of right now. Boeser needs to step up as well. See who has the better szn and move the other one at the deadline or off-season.

I'm still not a fan, I'd rather we'd have traded him

 

Guess we'll see who's right in the end 

Traded?   For who?  For what? …

there was nothing there, I get your hungry for a trade.

 

Your hopes we’re all Warm n Fuzzy Nuts.

 

wrong player.

 

Some of us have all ready been considered right,.  And management seems to agree.

 

May I suggest if your hungry to be cheering on the Arizona Coyotes, loaded with picks and dreams of cup contention with it.

One of the best forward groups in the entire NHL.  Even Colorado isn't this deep...

I like the depth at forward but that first line would be way too soft IMO.

You're not alone with the term issue.  But you're probably on a deserted island if you're not a Miller fan.  Given your tag name, this all makes sense perhaps

You know Sam, we've had our disagreements in the past and that's fine. But trying to point me towards another team because I don't see eye to eye with you on this matter is pretty low.

So you're saying that a top 10 scorer in the top league in the world, who's hitting his prime, isn't worth 8 mil a year? 

 

You must be joking, right? 

I am okay with Miller deal? I didn't expect new management group was going to go to 8 million X 7 yrs with modified trade list after year 4.

I think signing any star player at 30 to 7yrs or 8 yrs is a risk in the last 2 - 3 years..

Rather have Miller then Huberdeau same age 10.5 million X 8 years

Kadri 32 -- 7 yrs X 7 million..

It will be interesting if Vancouver can sign Horvat to AAV  7 yrs X 6.7 million..

 Horvat --Kuzmenko - Next summer

Petey, Podkolzin - 2 years

Management will be trying to free up more cap room for next summer...

 

Team might have to trade a winger make more cap room...Find a player in college or Europe

 

Boeser 6.65 X 3  , Garland 4.95 X 4 , Mikheyev 4.75 X 4,  Pearson 2 X 3.25 , Kuzmenko 950,000 X 1yr , Podkolzin 2 yrs X 950,000

Dickinson C/W 2 yrs X 2.65 ,  Joshua 2 yrs X 850,000 -- Lockwood  1 yr X 750,000

 

If a winger is moved it would be Boeser or Garland....
