Rumor: Seravalli- 'Canucks were ready willing and eager to move Miller' where does he go this off-season if moved?

[dirtydanglez]

no one has turned on Miller… most Canuck fan know he’s a great player for us. A lot of us wanted a rebuild which is why many wanted to move him, but it’s clear that’s not happening and it’s playoffs for next season which means keeping Miller. I love Miller as a player, I’m just not sure the Canucks will be contenders in Millers prime years.

he just signed an 8 year deal and the team "ready willing and eager to move miller"

​

I had a dream a few nights ago where he went to Minnesota for Rossi and a bunch of other stuff to make the cap work.

So that's my prediction as my dreams are never wrong.

Lol delusional! Minnesota isn't taking on Miller in a million years! Or trading Rossi! You forgot Minnesota is in cap hell

 

[quietbruinfan]

Boston will need a center or two, but Miller is the antithesis of what they want in a player.

 

[Reddwit]

Larkin will make 8.7 mil until he is 35 yr old on a rebuilding team.

What the difference?

and yes we will enjoy Hronek. who btw has better defensive numbers than Seider. Yeesh.. If you say Hronek cant play defense, then what does that say about big MO!

Goals Against- Hronek- 58
Seider- 94

CF% - Hronek - 49%
Seider- 46%

GF% - Hronek - 58%
Seider - 44%

Lol. Someone’s in for a rude awakening with Hronek if this is your justification. Being defensively suspect is Hronek’s calling card. That’s why he gets sheltered and Mo doesn’t.

 

[CascadiaPuck]

He’s 30 in a literal week, and the contract doesn’t start til he’s 30. How are you gonna feel paying a 34 year old Miller $8M for 3 more years?

Depends in part on what the cap is by then.

 

[PostBradMalone]

Boston will need a center or two, but Miller is the antithesis of what they want in a player.

On the other hand, he could be a sneaky good add if the leadership group in Boston could turn him around. That’s the kind of move that could extend your team’s Cup window well into the 2020s.

Three other teams could not, including Tampa. I bet the Bruins are a hard no. They certainly should say no.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

How bad does it look trying to trade a guy before the massive extension you just signed him to less than a year ago has even started?

 

[EverTheCynic]

Who is ready for another offseason of JT Miller threads and proposals? This is going to be awesome. I wanna see no less than 3 concurrent JT Miller proposals in the trade forums until puck drops opening night next season.

 

[Huggy]

oh no our 100 point 8 mil dollar player.

 

[mouser]

Were obviously retooling, I don’t understand the point of trading him anymore, especially because he’s been playing so good under rick tochett

I don’t know where Tochett’s opinion ranks in the Vancouver hierarchy, but he wants to be immediately competitive and not tank or rebuild. I assume he’d be completely against trading Miller.

 

[tyhee]

he just signed an 8 year deal and the team "ready willing and eager to move miller"

​

If he had just signed an eight year deal probably the Canucks wouldn't be willing to move him, but since he only signed a seven year extension he's more expendable.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

...But do they still need a center?

 

[cool beans]

Probably to Nashville so they can obtain more bloated lengthy contracts on 60pt players who got paid after a career year

 

[ginner classic]

The next soul crushing momemt for Canucks fans (right after not winning the draft lottery) will be when Miller's NMC kicks in after offers from four teams fail to convince Canucks ownership to sell. He promptly turn into 36 year old Blake Wheeler. Franchise trade five first rounders to move contract. He turms into 25 year old Cam Neely.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

"great player" is a major, major stretch.

 

[Canuck86]

The greatest player of all time Wayne Gretzky was traded while still in his prime...

Yet internet fans are whining about a player getting dealt, even though he just signed a long term extension...look at the first line above!

Any player at any time should be available if a team offers you up something insane...Obviously there are a handful of players that are unlikely to be available regardless of the return, JT Miller is NOT on that list!!!

But, keep whining instead, if ya don't like it stop reading it or leave the topic/forum if its too much to hear. It is rumours...just like kids do in school this is the nhl level being made by a bunch of nobodies...us fans and media!

 

[bleedgreen]

Fans of no team want this guys contract.

OP starts thread after thread about this.

Of course they’re “ready and willing to trade him”. They have buyers remorse before it even started. My favorite part is “for the right price….”

 

[CascadiaPuck]

How is he a 60pt player? After multiple seasons and hundreds of games on the Canucks, he’s over a point per game. He is a flawed player, but people 1) really underestimate his performance and 2) put an awful lot of faith in reporting about the Canucks moves even though there is very little evidence of actual leaks ever coming from the current Canucks management side. As in, how many of any of these predictions about this team’s moves have come to pass in any way?

I’m not saying a trade couldn’t happen. Not directed at you, but as sick as people are of JT Miller trade discussions, maybe they shouldn’t try to hang that on the team and make up narratives based on seemingly flawed reporting that hasn’t gotten a lot right about this team.

 

[Fulham]

As a Canuck fan I don't understand the obsession some fans have about trading Miller. If we were tanking sure, but EP and QH primes are the next 5 years. Miller is signed to a very reasonable contract for a player who should be the 3-5th best player on a contender.

 

[sting101]

well i guess there is always the terrible option of keeping a PPG C.

 

[Canucks LB]

Because that contract is an albatross. Horrible contracts more than anything else are suffocating the Canucks.

What makes it a albatross exactly, if JT Miller was a free agent this off-season, you’ll probably get 9,000,000+, Domi is basically the best free agent.

He’s putting up basically ppg numbers, and it’s a completely different player from the first half of the season, playing just as good as last year, people are just so short sighted.

Reminds me of morons, who still think that Quinn Hughes is bad defensively

 

[The GM]

Vancouver should trade him to Vancouver

With retention to fix the cap issue

 

[Nona Di Giuseppe]

I don’t believe a thing the media says regarding Vancouver these days.

Since Allvin has come in they haven’t leaked any transaction.

This is whiffs of drumming up clicks as the entire fan base gets whipped into a frenzy regarding any rumour these days.

At this point I feel like Seravelli is just doubling down on something he reported without a real source.

As Urbanimpact said, there is light at the end of the tunnel though, a NTC kicks in July 1st.

Otherwise, I don't really worry about moving him. He has a big cap hit, but he produces for it, both score sheet and otherwise.

This. Like, is this revenge for not leaking anything?

Is this just low hanging fruit on getting clicks?

It seems weird everyone seems to have such access to these things that don’t happen, but absolutely none on the things that do. And I mean, zilch, not even a hint of the trades, signings, etc that go down.
