Grub's Canucks & NHL News, Rumours, and & Fantasy GM | Rumour Has It

[Just A Bit Outside]

Should be noted, the Canucks don't have any spare players on the roster; Myers suspended, Juulsen injured, Joshua on IR, and no extra forwards. Would have to call someone up from Abby immediately or play shorthanded.

Newly crowned AHL Player of the Week Raty incoming!

• Canucks didn’t want to do a futures deal early on in negotiated but have relented and are willing to take that as a return when it comes to making a deal with a contender

Bracing myself for an underwhelming return. I was somewhat excited at the prospect of Lafreniere / Schneider, but hearing Chytil/Lindgren and a pick is ugh.

Praying that the plan is to flip Lindgren for a C or futures at the TDL.

His body is breaking down and he’s projected to get a fat contract as a supposed top 4 dman

 

[Bgav]

We should get a good return if two teams are wanting miller..

 

[Vector]

This is the exact same progress as the Horvat trade. Canucks wanted to make a hockey trade. Couldn't find anything they liked. Pivoted to whoever offered the highest 1st rounder and intriguing prospect.

better step the f*** up NJD

Problem is those two teams are notorious spend thrifts when it comes to trades.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Just get the damn Miller deal done so you can trade for Byram tonight!

 

[ahmon]

Sounds like it's finally ending. Good to hear there are multiple suitors.

Sad end to what was (at times) a brilliant career for this franchise. He had some of the greatest seasons for a Canuck forward we've ever seen despite the emotional issues and disappearing acts.

I feel Miller is on the same level of someone like Bertuzzi in terms of his place in Canuck lore (obviously not comparing the Moore situation to this).

yeah, Miller is right up there.

basically the second he stepped on the ice as a canucks he's played liked a 1st line powerforward who can make plays and eventually became a 1C.

Bertuzzi peaked higher and obviously bigger and meaner. But Bertuzzi didn't even know what defense is.

I feel like I’m chained down and being edged until near death

Should be better than the previous offer tho

There's an Edge data joke in there somewhere.

 

[ephmrl]

Will be interesting to see if any Rangers players are held out of their game in the next half hour.

So far beyond begging at this point

 

[timw33]

Good lord I hope the Canes or NJD prevail in this bidding war, I hate the NYR assets.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

So we are going to trade Miller, who EP has an issue with.

To obtain KK, who EP has an issue with.

 

[F A N]

I don't want Lindgren. Laf and Schneider if we're dealing with the Rangers please.

 

[Vector]

Maybe. Would be pretty much the same offer but maybe without retention.

 

[Hodgy]

If Miller has demanded a trade, then I really hope the Canucks don't make the same mistake Benning did and just trade him to the one or two destinations sought after at a cripplingly low price.

Instead, I'd tell JT that we will only trade him for "market" value, and that if the one or two teams he wants to go aren't willing to offer that, then we will just wait and expect him to play or he can open up the teams he is willing to accept a trade to. I know that it hurts us in the short term, but a trade of this magnitude has long term ramifications.

 

[arttk]

i presume you are enjoying this edging session?

 

[Vector]

I maintain that it's not so much that Miller has demanded a trade but has asked the Canucks not to let this awkwardly linger.

Inb4 Miller to MTL for Matheson.

 

[Bgav]

unless the hurricanes beat that offer
