I’d vote “fair deal” on this one if I could. The term is about two years too long, but unless he falls off badly this coming season, he would have got at least this much from somebody as a UFA next summer. I can understand the people who say it would have been better to trade him (though I would have waited for the deadline), but if the Canucks want to keep him beyond this season, this is a reasonable price to pay. I’m sure there’s a lot of teams out there who would love to be spending only $8M cap hit on their top scorer. Miller’s best years have been in Vancouver, so it’s nice to see a player who realizes he’s in a good situation and wants to stay there.
