Friedman: "Okay, Jim is getting Ready" "You should be Prepared for Anything" | Who is Staying? Who is Leaving?

[Fatass]

Bold of you to assume that JR will be able to clean up Benning's mess.

Good point. OEL has six years left.

 

[Canucks LB]

It sounds to me like Rutherford actually has a few potential deals in place, and is just waiting to fill Allvin in on what they are, and whether he will also green light any of them.

Funny you mention that, I actually got a similar feeling also.. Maybe it's not done Completely, But it's on it's way.
Most Likely with Miller, But won't make a trade right away, Need Allvin to get a hold of things for prob 3/4 Weeks first.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

This is noise

 

[SomeDude]

Good point. OEL has six years left.

Just wait until you see the Jack Johnson contract next year.

 

[Canucks LB]

This is noise

Would be Noise with lots of President's, GM's.
But with Jim Ruthaford? No chance it's just Noise.
Especially with Friedman, Dreger, and Seravelli especially being all over this miller trade inside information.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Honestly, Lots of Canucks fans were interested in a deal surrounding Kapanen for Boeser. (Not sure what the rest of the pieces would be)

The issue is the Penguins have literally no cap space and Boeser has a huge QO after this year.

Unless the deal was like ZAR and Kapanen for Boeser with a bit of retained money to make it an even money swap, I don't think Boeser to Pittsburgh makes sense.

Miller gone soon then?

 

[Canucks LB]

Miller gone soon then?

Most people think he is gone anytime soon.
Most likely tho right before the TDL, A week or two before.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

I look forward to the threads that all of these “big decisions” will produce

 

[Groo]

This is noise

Yeah noise like a starters pistol

 

[archangel2]

It will be Miller. He created a bidding war for him and he is about to get rewarded for it

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

You should be prepared for anything, including nothing happening.

 

[quackquackquack]

Big decisions coming up meaning trade deadline. Under 2 months Jimbo

 

[Bonham]

I feel like Canucks fans insisted I was wrong when I said Rutherford was actually going to be calling the shots and the idea that he'd purely be a "mentor" would end up false, just like it was when he signed on with the Penguins.

Good luck, Canucks fans. Welcome to JR's wild ride

If JR mortgages everything we have to win us two cups, then by all means...

God no

If its something surprising, who do you think it could be?
Hughes?
Pettersson?
Horvat?

 

[Empoleon8771]

Nah, he'll probably do more of what he did in Carolina.

 

[Sideline]

JR is very transparent with the media. He's going to make big trades. That's what he does. Hurricanes fans and Penguins fans can guarantee you that. We can also tell you he pays premium prices for guys that he wants.

Sometimes that's him getting prime of career point a game Phil Kessel for a 1st pick and a top prospect. Sometimes it's getting Jason Zucker for the same price.

 

[Fatass]

Most people think he is gone anytime soon.
Most likely tho right before the TDL, A week or two before.

So that's about six weeks off then, right? What if the team gets healthy and goes on another winning streak? Still moving Miller for prospects and picks?

 

[Nucker42]

Tier 1:

Jt Miller

Tier 3:

Chaisson

[kanucks25]

Just brace yourselves. The highs are high, but boy...the lows are low.

Given the history of our organization, if we can get at least 1 high before I die, I don't really care how many lows we get. We're used to lows. 50+ years

He's going to make small trades to go with the big ones too.

By my count, in 25 years between Carolina and Pittsburgh, Rutherford made 172 different trades. To put that number into perspective, Ken Holland, who also started in 1997, has only made 77.

 

[crassbonanza]

Nah, he'll probably do more of what he did in Carolina.

So, the Nucks will only win one of their two cup appearances?

 

[Duodenum]

I know it’s been brought up repeatedly over the last couple months, but what would Canucks fans be looking to receive from Pittsburgh in exchange for Miller? JR has a history of stubbornly chasing “his guys” and I think Miller would be a fantastic add for the last sliver of the Pens’ window, putting them over the top from contender to a top cup threat.

Canucks need a top RHD or C prospect. A good 2-way RHD to play with Hughes for the next 6 years + is probably at the top of the list (Why Canucks fans are big on Schneider from NYR).
I don't know if the Pens have the correct pieces and are a good match here.

 

[SomeDude]

Have you guys checked to see if you have a spare Crosby and/or Malkin laying around? Otherwise....I'm afraid I have some bad news.
