Warhippy Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 JT Miller trade threads are the Canuck equivalent of a dominatrix specializing in edging torture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be more trade options for "young centers" closer to the summer given teams would have more time to address their rosters. Zucker will also be off their books. Sounds oddly similar to the last time Miller was probably going to be traded in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilwu5hunnid Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 36 minutes ago, Locke Lamora said: I think the issues I have with Miller are mostly character ones, as I generally like his game. To dog it so bad at times under Boudreau, then suddenly flip a switch and work so much harder under Tocchet….hard to really buy into a guy who might have a bit of “coach killer” in him. This is in addition to all other things swirling about in terms of whether he’s liked by his teammates, etc. People in his corner tout his “fiery” persona, whereas I’m more likely to view him a bit of a jack ass. Not sure I’m especially keen on 7 more years of his act. And thus it’s why I wouldn’t be too shook if he’s gone today. Put the chances of it happening at around 20% though, so I’d better start trying to reconcile my feelings with this player, eh? It does seem as though he’s been on his “best behaviour” under Tocchet. But what about the next coach? And the way we go through coaches, the one after that? You canuck fans are hilarious. You don't like a guy with a fiery attitude, that hates to lose. Oh I get it, you're used to 15 years of soft players like the sedins who get slapped and don't do anything about it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team has lived through it for over a decade now. It's the hapless, dinkleflicked owner and his attentive management hecubuses that seem ill-advised on the concept. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Calgary wanted us to take Lucic as a camp dump, I'd be all over it. I find an inane approach to communicating the sign of a dullard though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be Zucker is a big one though, he helps them compete now and he's got a limited NTC He also fills the spot Miller would presumably fill right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of these other guys want him traded for futures due to the timeline issue of competitiveness, which I don’t get. I believe JT will be a good player well into his early 30’s. Regardless of this reason, most of those guys I mentioned do in fact like the player. Edited March 3, 2023 by grandmaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just trendy to hate on Miller because of his contract and the fact that they chose him over Bo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that wasn’t an issue with Bruce for you? Cmon that’s a double edged sword, Bruce wasn’t giving it his all, far to relaxed and that translates to the team and that pissed miller off that’s my take anyhow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably knew very well JT would not react well at all to public criticism. And let’s face it, he’s one prickly pear. Look at other members of our “core”….none of them had the sudden uptick in quality of play once Bruce was fired like JT did. Character wise, I’d put EP far above. And people think JT is captain material. It could be entertaining….in the way some people find car crashes entertaining I suppose. These are my thoughts currently. But I’m open to having my mind changed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
