Thread: Miller
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>remowilliams</b></div><div>First ,I respect your opinion.Its what he brings to our team that makes him so valuable to us. I heard yesterday in our local media that the canucks are very much leaning towards keeping Miller, because he drives play and is a leader both on and off the ice, pretty hard to replace him. Hes our most consistant / best player. Also,think what you may, but we are still all in on making the playoffs so chances are we keep him.In my opinion they should extend him weather we make the playoffs this year or not.These are strictly my opinions and i know i may not speak for other Canuck fans and thanks for yours.</div></div>

The reason Vancouver is thinking of moving Miller now when his value is high. They won't be able to resign him with Boeser getting a contract end of this season. Canucks aren't getting out of the first round if they make the playoffs. These type of trades are common in the cap era, when you have to sign players long term who are due for a huge raise. If the Canucks don't trade Miller this year the price will go down, especially with teams not looking to keep Miller past next year. The Rangers trade Miller and Mac in 18 because they knew signing Miller and or Mac would have been impossible with the team on a decline.

I don't think you understand we have a very tight window because of the tight cap space we have in the coming years. Are biggest factor on why we can't compete with teams like CAR, flames, Panthers, and Tampa we do not have a great third line. How long do you think we can go with Igor being the reason for winning games ? We need a third line over haul. Same way Tampa did two years ago. We have a great opportunity at the cup this year because of Igor, but not Igor alone. Our defense is good might need a little more depth. But it's our third line where we aren't that good. The Canucks are looking to move him because they know they won't be able to sign him and Boeser when his contract expires. The smart thing to do is to keep the younger better player and get a great return for Miller now and not next year. And people commenting it starts with Schneider are insane. The Rangers or any organization are not going to trade a top tier prospect for a player for two years knowing they won't be able to resign him and he will be on the other side of 30. wanting a big contract. The market for Miller is high but not at the asking price the Canucks or Canuck fans think they are going to get. The trade works out for both. The Canucks get a young player with good contracts. In the cap era these type of trades happen to keep the better players.

Thread: same cap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stanley_Cup_To_Manhattan</b></div><div>They'll get more in an offer sheet.</div></div>

That's if a team would offer a big contract to a player who really hasn't produced big numbers but is trending up. No team is going to offer him 6 mil a year especially with the flat cap for the next 2 years min. You are going to see salaries go down and shorter contracts especially RFA's. Like if you see i have ADA at 4mill per but thats for 2 years. It's good for both sides at the end of that contract he will still be a RFA. and that time we can see if Nils is ready for the NHL. and or if Fox is good D man. At the point hopefully ADA gains some trade value and we can get high level prospects and or draft picks. Thats how you constantly load up the farm system. Similar to what Tampa has been doing, the only issue you run into(not bad issue) is if you hit on a late round pick (Kuch) He will eat away at your cap.
