Miller has earned that man crush

I think it will be quiet too. I don't think there will be a lot of movement league wide.

Smaller type trades mostly.

Hansen and Burrows are good candidates to be moved.

He's not a good GM imo if he goes into the draft with 5 picks this year, with assets on expiring contracts, let's see how he does.

I don't think so. I think JB will talk to some players, but will go with the "the offer's were not good enough" approach. JB has a man crush on Miller, Burrow's is the "glue" for their playoff push. That said, I don't expect anything at the TDL.
- VanHockeyGuy

Agreed.
I don't have a problem with that either. Just like last year when JB refused to take a sh1tty offer for hamhuis and held onto him, so that it doesn't set a bad precedent.

The Blues claim Rattie of waivers.

I think there will be more movement in the offseason. Tdl is not the. E all, end all

What does it matter how many picks he has, at best we'll only get 4th or 5th round picks for Burrows and maybe a 3rd for Hansen seeing as he needs to be protected. As long as he's not trading away anymore picks having 5 in this particular draft is fine. Next year is the year he needs to stockpile the picks where he doesn't have to worry about exposing players for expansion and the Sedins might be more willing to move in the last year of their deal as hopefully Danny by TDL will have his 1K and the twins will recognize it's time to go and retire.

Yeah after the expansion draft I see guys like Subban Pedan maybe Gaunce Markstrom and a Dman being traded.

It was a 3rd round pick, JB grabbed Tryamkin there

We let him walk for squat. We're in the same spot this year.

The only excuse he has not to make a deal is the illusion of being a playoff team, which I think is the way this will unfold.

Let's crank up the hysteria. It is no wonder why us Canucks fans are the most hated in the league.

We know everything, but know nothing.

Is that still a thing?

Or was it the team that was the most hated in the league? Difficult to keep track of the hate.

We are the most hated fans

Our team is the most hated

Our GM is the most hated

Even their parents are the most hated

Would have to agree with this a bit. As much as I appreciate the Sedins contributions here they are basically 40-45 pt players now and we can get that easily at half the price or less. Hopefully Boeser here next year on the PP with Horvat and Juolevi takes strides forward at camp. I'm not a Miller fan but I must admit signing him for a year or two looks to be a must until Demko can get some games up here. Marky just isn't gonna be the guy sadly.
- LordHumungous

If Juolevi comes to camp at around 195 and hasn't lost a step I think he is NHL ready.

most fans, media and players on other teams back east are in bed by the time our games are finished yet they still think of us often.

I read it on Twitter so it must be true.

I thought I read it was lower than a 3rd. Like embarrassing, a 5th or something. Can't remember

He'll be back for the playoffs.
- A_SteamingLombardi

hopefully on another team

I read it on Twitter so it must be true.

If twitter is good enuf for the pres of the US of A, who am I to argue?

Bye week coming up, teams don't seem to play well after that. There's also that tough schedule in March. They are an injury away from a top 7 pick. Relax gentleman.
- VanHockeyGuy

We need a top 5 pick

Miller gets the start tonight.


Yes we will be trading him any day now , yeah right

I do think next year we are a bottom team. With Hansen gone and The twins a year older and slower is going to give us that top line center with the first overall pick.
- VANTEL

wouldn't that be nice

- VANTEL

lessons learned through a season, a rested Miller plays better, we need wins, so go back to Miller who just played.

- LordHumungous

Bank on it .

Two slow Sedins -a speedy Hansen - a experienced Burrows + a year older Eriksson + an extended Megna = a number one pick

Wait? He is better than Biega? [url]
