More retention, fantastic. Add it to the pile.

Never seen Grady Sas with any sources

I mean, he's technically Vancouver media as a producer for Sekeres and Price, but fair enough I don't know why one of the principals wouldn't be breaking that.

"Retention" is probably more useful than Myers these days.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Mixed feelings on everything. Still in shock we’re at this potential stage after the promise of last season.

Fr. I can't remember the last time I was as excited for a seaaon to start as this one. Now this.

Same. Felt like we were starting a contention window. I really thought they could be better than last season with the forward adds, they overcame such adversity staying afloat through all the injuries too, hard to explain how it's gotten to this so quickly.

Been thinking lately this season feels alot like 13-14. They were doing so well that season, then everything absolutely fell apart in the new year.

It could be retention on the other side to help balance the equation coming our way too, but probably a less likely scenario.

I read it as this tbh

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

I see on another thread, Rick Dhailwal is reporting that Boeser and the Canucks have had 'zero discussions' on a new contract. And there's no chance they have anything done before the TDL.

It's been a long run in VanCity for Boeser, but he's as good as gone.

If Miller goes, he won’t be far behind.

Like, for example, if they were doing Hamilton for Miller 1:1, getting 1MM retained in Hamilton to make it dollar for dollar 8MM for 8MM

 

[Nucker42]

Adam Sykora, Bo Groulx, and Chmelar are the scratches. 3 of their 4 top scorers. Definitely odd unless it's just a flu bug.

Wouldn’t be excited about any of those players… would be an awful trade if that was the package.

 

[Canucker]

Would be funny to see them jump through all these hoops to get a third team involved and have it all fall apart when Miller says "nah, not feeling it, I love Vancouver, I'm gonna stay. Trade Petey."

JT already a great contract so no need to retain, canucks wanting retention on the return makes more sense like you said, however hopefully not Hamilton.

I think its a three team trade or canucks flip whatever futures basically immediately..

So the Blue Jays?

 

[VanJack]

It could be just a wild-eyed optimism, but I think Allvin and Rutherford may still have plan.

Miller and Boeser will net them serious 'assets'......then they rebuild around Hughes and Pettersson, with hopefully a much better group of young guys in the lineup and prospects in the immediate pipeline.

Granted it feels like a stretch as this point......but somehow you just knew that Miller would never finish his contract out in Vancouver; and it was always a 'longshot' that they'd ever sign Boeser to a new deal. If it didn't happen after his 40-gol season a year ago, it was never going to happen.

 

[TruGr1t]

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

I honestly think it would be good to move on from JT.

He’s surly as hell, about to turn 32 and now is battling injuries.

If you get the right deal to reset, it’s probably for the best.

His value is never going to be higher.

Feel like he has 1-3 years of this level of play before he falls off and that contract becomes negative value.

 

[Nuckles]

Sadly I'm expecting a bunch of quantity and not a whole lot of quality. Something like Kreider + Chytil + a couple of good (not great) prospects/picks

Kreider 15 team no trade. I would expect Canada to be on it.

 

[Curm]

I'm ready for mayhem.

 

[krutovsdonut]

I don't understand how anyone here thinks trading Boeser and Miller is a good idea. The return will be super unwelming for either not to mention we probably won't make the playoffs again anytime in the next few years. Our best winger would be DeBrusk. And 2nd centre Suter? LMAO. Honestly I hope no trades happens and this core can reset in the off season and get a good piece on D and start fresh next year.

we have not done it for a while but some of the best trades in canuck history are trades where we gave up the best player in a hockey trade.

-linden > bertuzzi/mccabe

-butcher/quinn > courtnall/ronning/momesso/dirk

-nedved/janney> brown/hedican/lafayette

Exactly. We're gonna get absolute garbage as a return.

 

[sandwichbird2023]

Miller to NJ, Nemec to Buffalo, Byram to Vancouver, that would be awesome.
