Nope. People who take it are morons.It is "horse paste," in the same sense that morphine and diazepam are "duck juice." Most familiar medications are used on animals. It's just a dumb, lazy way to make fun of people who take it.
It's like 5% of the cap vs 3.6% of the cap. 1.4% difference is fairly negligible, and again, I argue that Mikheyev is the better player than 2014 Hansen.82.5 is roughly 20% more than 69. 20% more than 2.5m is $3m. Mike would be the equivalent of $4m at $69m cap.
No. I want hockey.
You think Mikheyev is a 3 million dollar player in an 82mil cap (and rising) league?
Jannik Hansen got a 2.5 AAV contract when the cap was 69 mil. You're telling me that a pretty much equal (I'd argue actually better) player only deserves 600k more than Hansen when the cap has risen 13 mil?
I mean…it is. And has been. And several very smart posters have explained why they feel it is a fair deal.
Also, you already responded to their post. Just edit your post.
I'd hold off on a Miller trade for now if the best rumored deal is a 1st+Chytil+Lundqvist which doesn't really improve the team much or give much in terms of assets. Keep Miller and trade him during the season (regardless of the Canucks standings position) and try to improve upon the rumored deal, if possible. 30 year old player values have tanked.
1) Go with the team as is
2) Trade Miller during the season/trade deadline regardless of whether the Canucks are in the playoffs or not
3) Use the assets received in the Miller trade along with the available cap space to improve during the 2023 offseason. Canucks will have about $20 million in cap space to re-sign Bo Horvat, maybe Kuzmenko, and 3 defenseman. Caution should be applied here because:
4) In 2024, Myers, Pearson, and Dickinson will come off the books. Opening up 11+ million in cap space minus Pettersson's raise. Make last improvements needed to hopefully vault the team into contender status (wishful).
*Do not sign any rumored players like Klingberg, who's primary value derives from Hughes' current position. 2 way dman are key here along with shutdown dmen. Would like Gavrikov next year but highly doubt he makes it to UFA.
At this point with the market seemingly where it is, I would focus on getting maybe the one single best asset you could in a potential Miller/Horvat deal. If you can get a pretty blue chip RHD prospect/rookie, probably best to just do it. Rather than hold and hold and hold and just settle with a weak deadline deal where you get two or three underwhelming assets.I'd hold off on a Miller trade for now if the best rumored deal is a 1st+Chytil+Lundqvist which doesn't really improve the team much or give much in terms of assets.
