It’s a meh deal, Miller’s been good during his time in Vancouver but don’t expect much more than a 70-80point guy

: ()

Thought a sign and trade was coming…
Doesn’t look like it.

stats guy here

PP and Secondary Assist specialist. JFresh is lighting him up on Twitter on why this contract is Yikes.

Ages 30-37 good luck

I guess this means Horvat is walking then? Interesting that they chose Miller over their captain.

add in his poor defensively play, yeah its not a contract that the canucks should have been handing out, especially considering they have little cap space next year to fill out their roster, extend Horvat while Pettterson extension looms.

doesn't matter, he's a team player, character guy and the best player on the roster. even if he's "only" a point per game player it's a value contract. anything more is a bargain.
better than Huberdeau for 2.5 more and an extra year, or Kadri at 7 for 7, 3 years older.

Miller has improved every year with VAN since arriving and I see no reason why he should regress, the team hasn't gotten much better but it hasn't gotten worse. Kadri and Huberdeau are both on a worse team than last year.

still room for Horvat, Pettersson extension due when Myers is off the books, so extra money there, and the cap going up that year too makes it easy to re-sign EP40

its the filling out the roster part that you are glossing over. Right not its 14m in cap room with 14 guys signed....Horvat is going to take up Half of that to keep. Then you are filling out the rest especially the D core with Scrubs on cheap deals.

Really isnt a path to improving the roster. The cap space that miller is taking up probably was better suited elsewhere

It's better than letting him walk for nothing, but dear God, this will age poorly...

An entire season of speculation, and it boils down to a 7x8?

Guess he saw Kadri’s market and bit the bullet 😬

Yeah, don't know why other fanbases can't see that

I'd still call that a win if he remains a perennial 70-80 point guy

To say that Kuzmenko won't be able to crack the top six really amplifies the spite in your voice

Anaheim still isn't good enough to make the playoffs

The contract doesn't suck, you're just being spiteful

Would be a great deal if he was 25

Now that's what I call sounding salty

Adding Mikheyev replaces the void left by Toffoli. Lazar’s a plus. They just need another Dman.

Ahahahahahahah

Even with 1 extra defender... that defense is Yikes

What was it before?

Should have traded him last TDL for a haul like what Jfresh suggested

This is exactly the kind of player a team like the Canucks should cash out on and trade for a big return. A great player but with inflated value and due for a contract, well, like this.

Then using the cap space rip off a team needing to shed cap and bring in a solid piece

Like imagine if JR got Oliver Bjorkstrand and a massive package for Miller

Would be GM of the year

Good for right now, he’ll probably remain PPG, but it’ll be rough towards the back end.
