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

[AHLdepth]

The most diplomatic and advantageous answer then is, "we established that already, we are currently looking elsewhere but might be willing to circle back to you once another team gives us the deal we like to one up it if you wish"

Karlsson in for Miller (traded)

 

[FuzzyTitus]

I was listening to 650 during a game on the drive home afew week back, and I kept hearing "Petey-D" does this, and that. And I was like oh sweet he got called up.

Only to later realize it was P-D-G and lose all excitement.

Nice to see it happen for real.

 

[TruGr1t]

They called "D-Petey" up before for a sniff and didn't play him. We'll see if it's different this time.

 

[Canucks LB]

The offer for JT Miller must just be absolutely terrible, or he would have been traded ages ago

 

[Peen]

We knew that though at the time that they wanted to get him up and back up, and have a pro practice just to be familiar.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the same thing given Forbort isn’t the problem, but also maybe they just want a look and want a shake up and that’s an easy move.

Yeah unless Forbort is injured I see very little chance he breaks in on the left-side.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

I like Carolina for futures (lots of picks, Nadeau, Blake, Unger-Sorum, Artamonov, etc ... Morrow and Nikishin are pipe dreams) and New Jersey for roster players (Siegenthaler, Haula, Mercer, etc). Just don't see a great fit with NYR. Maybe K'Andre Miller.

Well it sounds like the Rangers were the ones who pulled out because they wanted retention and/or more favorable conditions on their 1st round pick.

So if the reported package wasn't already bad enough, they were looking to make it worse.

Which is scary to say the least.

 

[dbaz]

maybe they try somethng crazy and let soucy go on the right side

hughes soucy
dpetey hronek
forbert friedman

better than vd being out there

Considering the rumors were Cytrill, Lindgren and the Rags wanting us to retain, yes, yes they are. Drury is basically playing Be a GM mode and adding in as little as possible til we say yes.

At this point, it's either make a serious offer or we wait until the summer.

If I’m being optimistic, I think both Miller and the team have soured on one another (but perhaps not irreconcilably) and Miller has made a soft request for a trade, and the Canucks are exploring the market but won’t be pressured into a poor return from one of the few teams Miller is currently fine to be traded to.

The downside is this isn’t a great situation for the current play of the team. But with that said, I’m not sure if we could reasonably expect a Miller trade to turn around this season anyway. Seems unlikely to make a big difference to me. And if that’s the case, take your time, and pull the trigger before / at the draft if need be.

Weren’t we close to saying yes? Miller was told he wasn’t playing that night, meaning they were probably OK with Cythil and Lindgren.

Reports were the Canucks basically agreed until the retention was brought up.

 

[Nucker42]

Sillinger I like. Lots of pieces in CBJ that would be enticing.

Allvin has really lots a lot of faith with fans lately. He needs to pull a rabbit out of his hat here….

 

[Joe Rogan]

If I were GM, I'd trade Miller at full contract to New Jersey for Mercer, and spare parts.
Come summer time, screw them over and offersheet Luke Hughes where they can't match. 5 years at 9.15 M AAV, land a legitimate stud PMD for years to come only giving up a 1st, 2nd and 3rd round pick and eventually steal Jack too

 

[xtr3m]

Yeah so they were OK with the return and it almost happened. Scary. Aqua needs to give Biz special veto powers before a disaster happens.

 

[VanillaCoke]

I haven't lost any faith in Allvins management team at all yet, these next five and a half months have huge implications though.
