Since joining the Canucks in 2019, JT Miller is 10th in league scoring

[DamonDRW]

That's

Lol people are going to slowly realize why we were one of the most hated teams in the league.

I follow hockey for 30 years and there was never any real hate towards Vancouver.

Bout time we got a thread to celebrate the Vancouver turnaround season of 2023-24.

If it wasn't for Hughes and Miller outshining him I think there would be some Hart discussions around Miller

Can someone who followed JT Millers career in New York to now comment on if he looks more confident? Seems like he’s been given a little more trust and is playing with a real edge out there. Dude was scowling and getting under McDavids skin all night last night, not sure if he always plays like this as I never really watch the canucks.

 

[Gormo]

He scored 99 points a couple seasons ago and its like people have no idea

 

[AfroThunder396]

So many complained that VAN traded a 1st for him. VAN likely will get more points and games this season alone than the career of that player they didn’t end up taking.

Very good use of a 1st rounder and when it’s time to trade him, they will recover that asset anyhow.

I’d trade my 1st every year if I could get the kind of production value the Canucks have from that trade.

Vancouver's 1st got traded to Tampa Bay for JT Miller, who is one VAN's top forwards.

Tampa Bay traded that 1st to NJ for Blake Coleman, who was an important player for TB and helped win two Stanley Cups.

NJ used that pick to draft Shakir Mukhamadullin, who was then a key piece the Timo Meier trade.

Mukhamadullin has 16 points in 21 games for AHL Barracuda and seems to have all the tools to be a future top pairing defenseman. In a rebuilding SJ franchise desperate for talent.

Crazy to think how that pick has traveled through four different franchises and every single one of those four franchises has found a way to benefit from this one asset.

East Coast NHL fans " he's this 55 point middle six guy who like maybe had a breakout year...?? ahh not sure..cant remember, games are too late on tv, he's overpaid so whatever"

 

[Ezekial]

Bump the trade thread and look at my posts, ignore everything I've gotten wrong in the past, and you'll think I'm a prophet.

 

[I am not exposed]

Tier above Horvat. Never understood why so many Canucks fans wanted to keep Horvat instead of Miller. I assume because they drafted him.

 

[IComeInPeace]

2-way beast, puts up numbers, and in todays game where power forwards are all but gone, he can play that game too.

This Is one that Benning can look back on and say “see what I did there you ingrates!”

How can the nucks even lose a game with prime gretzky, lemieux, Orr, and Roy on their team? Should be 82-0 by the end of the year.

I count 6 Canucks threads on just the first page i think? Gotta up those numbers, those a rookie numbers.

I’m not sure it’s confidence. I think he always had confidence, sometimes too much lol. In NY and even Tampa he floated in and out of plays. Wildly wildly inconsistent.

This is just classic development and a dude who worked hard to seize an opportunity. Kudos to him.

You officially don't need to worry about this.

Does that mean I unofficially do? Is this like a CIA thing? If I get caught behind enemy lines HFBoards will deny any affiliation?

I kid, I will give it a rest, apologies.

Double secret probation.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

And he's going to recieve Selke votes to boot.

that would be a mistake!

 

[Raistlin]

Miller is a beast on a winning team, I always knew that. I have to eat crow, that I did not see how committed he was to morph himself into a center that can get selke votes. Same time last year, I thought he would only be an elite one way winger! The goal is to keep winning when hes on the team, the more dominant his team is, seems the better he gets.

He is the first guy I will trade if the team goes Oilers one day though.

What an interesting player.

Who says the Rangers don’t draft elite forwards

We had 8 years of people talking shit about us, 100’s of threads

You can give us 6, when we finally turned it around.

 

[Fatass]

Maybe that 8 mil x 7 year contract is actually fair value, considering his contributions?

its always been about the last 4 years.

JT Miller became a dad in 2018, same year he was traded to TB.
That's a big life change. In his dad+1 season in Tampa, it's where he looked his worse.
Once he adjusted to full dad, and finally got a settle-in contract in Vancouver, he's been able to relinquish those stress points and unleash the full Jimothy Timothy.

Glad to see people noticing..Was underrated/taken for granted by a lot of the Canucks fanbase.

Glad you seem to have recovered from that coma you were in between 2010-2012

No clue what actually happened then. Are you talking about that street crap after the finals? I guess you overestimate the importance of your team to non-Vancouver fans. No one actually cared.
