Anybody who thought the team would be better without Miller simply due to "vibes" is living in lala land.

Exactly. Made me laugh when I saw people celebrating dumping a top 10 centre.
This. Miller was A problem but he wasn't THE problem. I think given the current political landscape he became a popular scapegoat and punching bag.
Boeser is playing like he knows he's playing on another team on July 1st. His total lack of speed is becoming painful to watch.
In a league that's getting faster every year, you can't justify paying a guy like Boeser anywhere close to $8m a season. And unless he really closes with a rush, it's going to cost him a lot of money in the off-season.

Yeah, that one game should definitely outweigh absolutely everything else.
The team needs speed. Speed is good. It leads to scoring chances for others too.

Can we not do this when Garland is one of the most popular players among the fans
Miller was showing up, clocking in, doing the bare minimum. He was checked out mentally. We can acknowledge this without reaching and bringing in politics
I don’t think the Canucks will be winning the Stanley cup this year, just a hunch
I don’t think anyone was celebrating, more like just wanted the soap opera to end.

Yep. I’ll accept any steps forward for this season. I’ve said before, I think this season is a write off for him, but if he can just keep trending up in little increments and get back to himself next season, I’ll take it.
Rest of the team is working hard, but looks too disjointed. The dump and chase looks especially futile when our forwards aren’t fast enough in to get the puck.
Dude has like 25 points this season being fully healthy… I think this fan base would go mad seeing him shoot pucks on the crest for 2 more seasons
I don't think people seriously thought the team would get better, but it came down to a Pettersson vs Miller situation by all accounts, and if that's the case I'd much, much rather roll the dice on 26 years old over the 32 year old.

Well on our way to missing the playoffs for the 8th time in the past 10 years
And 1 of those 2 years was a technicality

It just seems like he got a lot more heat on social media after the trade that was tied with his politics. Even here you've got people like @MarkusNaslund19 calling him a "MAGA moron" repeatedly.
Anyway, moving on. Like I said he was definitely a problem and we had to trade him. He just wasn't what was ailing the team. Not the root of it anyway. Unlike Pettersson it seems feasible that he would have worked his way out of whatever that was.

miller was not the problem but he wanted out what can you do. like i miss him myself but why keep bringing up like we had a choice he forced his way out. heck of a player but hes at least 50% part of the drama if not more and then at the end forced his way out. seriously if he wasnt so good everyone would hate him
We cannot afford to pay Boeser 8 million - this team needs play drivers in the top-6 very desperately, the only players who have shown they are capable of doing so is Petey and Garland.

The main thing I find myself missing Miller over is his ability to protect the puck along the wall then spin off and make a play - he is absolutely elite at that and it's something we sorely miss. It draws so many players to the boards, then suddenly the puck is in the slot.
Whatever happens guys at least we have each other right
