Confirmed Signing with Link: [VAN] F J.T. Miller re-signs in Vancouver (7 years, $8M AAV)

[Gurglesons]

No.

Yes.

 

[TotalHomer]

Lmao that Kadri contract. Holy shit this is so much better in every aspect, congrats Vancouver.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

That contract isn’t going to age well.

 

[Killer Orcas]

Honestly I'm more relieved it's over than the deal itself. Alright let's see what's next now.

 

[Love]

WOW

 

[TheScandal89]

What the hell? We all thought he was as good as gone. Good deal until he declines but we're seeing these deals like a lot now

 

[Kurtz]

Good for Van - they should be in compete mode, not selling off their best.

 

[UrbanImpact]

YESSSSS heart and soul, but most of all didnt walk away for nothing.

This means bye bye Garland

 

[BoHorvat 53]

People here saying it’s a good deal - look at our defensive corps and tell me with a straight face we can even make a little bit of noise in the playoffs. This contract is going to age awfully similarly to Jamie Benn’s

 

[Cogburn]

Some how this means is worth less then as a rental, and still won't hear the end of hairbrained proposals.

 

[PuckG]

Going to age terribly.

i don't think it'll be nearly as bad as Jamie's. Miller doesn't have a lot of miles/minutes on his body and his offense comes from really good in-zone play

but yes, directionally speaking, this is very questionable

 

[Ocoee]

Motherf*!@#$%^&*

I wanted him traded to Pittsburgh

Does VAN have something else up their sleeve? Will be be cap compliant next year between this extension and Horvat's forthcoming new deal?

I'd rather be in Vancouver than Pittsburgh. I do not blame him.

 

[ColbyChaos]

last 4 years will be brutal

 

[elitepete]

this is a pretty bad contract

 

[iFan]

Cool.

So Horvat gets traded then eh?

Garland is who I think they move out, maybe Myers as well. If you’re re-signing Miller you’re keeping Horvat.

 

[notsocommonsense]

Great frickin deal, thk god this saga is over with

Were we going to sign a UFA defender?

Or are we stuck never considering a trade ever again?

Also, Benn is some how more expensive, and Miller didn't kick it into high gear until after Benn would have. There's a risk, but this is on the lower side of what I was expecting to see.

 

[Canucks LB]

That is way cheaper than I thought

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Surprised at the AAV. I really thought he was going to make someone fork it over.

 

[bringbacktheskate604]

Horvat is probably gone now.

Nucks cap woes are way overblown. Lots of dead cap off the books next summer.

 

[Canucks LB]

The last couple years might not age well, but holy shit that is a really good deal on paper

 

[Gurglesons]

More likely Garland, if it comes down to a choice.

Garland is who 8 think they move out, maybe Myers as well. If you’re re-signing Miller you’re keeping Horvat.

Maybe. They have to do that in season or at the draft next year which means they better hope he has a good year.

 

[EpochLink]

8M AAV is a great deal. Love this for Vancouver.

Honestly I thought he would be getting at least 9-10.5 AAV

 

[HighLifeMan]

I think it's a fair deal as a rival fan.

This is now the norm for keeping your high end 29/30/31 year old players.
