Former Canucks hockey Ops Chris Gear on Drais and McJesus

I was totally wondering what Gear thought

If you actually believe that. I think you are a little more (frank)ed up than I ever thought.



One of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

Shows, blogs, twitter. Most legit rumors end up on hf boards. I get most of mine from there.

Re-tool again

If they move miller than they better move Boeser and Bo as well or I’ll (frank)ing lose it. No half measures

You guys are doing it wrong like my Flames. You got to finish closer to the bottom to secure better picks. Look how well the Oilers have done with all their 1st overalls.

A move of JT Miller would be done because:

a) he's slightly older than the rest of the core
b) they need to re-sign Horvat and Boeser and that's where the money is coming from
c) helps re-fill the cupboards that will supplement and eventually replace the current core

From a financial standpoint, makes sense. From a long-term vision standpoint, makes sense. For 2022 standpoint.....another playoff season we will miss - fuch.

I understand all your points but I don’t want Boeser back. If they move both to address the D I can get behind it

I hear ya - why don't you want Boeser back? I mean, If youre moving Boeser, they should be keeping Miller IMO.

2.14 GAA best in the NHL since Dec 6 and you want to trade scoring to improve the D.

They are 22nd in GF during that same time.

It would make sense to trade away scoring.

But if they trade him Vancouver won't win the cup this year.
That would be the sobbing from the CG's.

Those are all of the reasons why trading him is great for the future. That and he wants out.

Better de will help improve scoring. We move the puck bettee therefore we have the puck more. Pretty simple

Well if they move our best forward (miller by a mile) then it’s another rebuild. Why keep an overpaid slug like Boeser around? JR wants to improve team speed as well

Seravalli on JT Miller: The early indication is he's open to moving on and playing elsewhere. No official trade request.

Seravalli believes Canucks are open to trading him.

They have the puck a lot. Hughes in #1 in ozone time with the puck in the NHL.

A month ago, the Canucks were 2nd in the league for ozone puck possession.

5v5 Canucks have allowed the least among of goals this season.

Too many shots from the point and not enough from the interior.

(I'm all for improving the D a little)

Miller's replacement has done it again anyways.

His family lives in Vancouver. Hence the BS narrative. They live in Van and love it according to Miller

You have some explaining to do....

A rebuild? Moving one player? I dont think so. Thats more managing your assets in an effective manner understanding that the horses are there but the wagon isn't sturdy as its constructed.

A rebuild would be trading Miller, Boeser, Horvat, Pearson, Myers, Schenn, Motte and OEL. Thats not happening.

What management probably wants to do, should they trade Miller, is to add a RHD and a high pick. That RHD is a HUGE piece for this team moving forward. Unless Woo somehow finds his game to play top 4, the obvious priority is that

Really? You thought IMac was going to magically come up with todays roster? We all did fantasy rosters with the players the Canucks had at the time. This is a silly attempt to try and skewer him.
