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.

I, personally, do not want to see him traded, but I see the logistical necessity of it. Either way, I would be content. I think a timely trade recouping quality assets would go a long way in moving the needle on this team long term....

Miller's replacement has done it again anyways.

Easily because there is no way Motte deserves 2-2.3M AAV as some mentioned what he should get.

Yup. A proper retool on the fly while staying competitive.

Maybe they both go.

That I would be onboard with 👍🏻

Yeah, kind of my point. There is a time and place for a particular line of questioning. Expecting a player to be accommodating while asking silly questions during a very frustrating time is too much to expect IMO. Especially when the same questions are being asked over and over again.

Saying that, noticing an increase in conflict between reporters and hockey players. Didn’t a Philly player go off on a reporter recently? The animosity is definitely entertaining.
- bloatedmosquito

Honestly, I didn't find the questions to be out of line. I also thought Drai was the one who escalated the conflict. I found it to be quite refreshing that Matheson actually returned the attitude. Good on him.

Neither, just voicing my opinion. If pro athletes don't like answering questions as to why they suck then they should pursue something that gives them the privacy they desire.
- Marwood

This. The leaders of the team are the voice of the room. Like it or not there has always been expectation in sports that comes with 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.

I just thought it was funny, don't take poop so seriously

Demko and Miller both tested positive this morning. Per Dan Murphy

Every (frank)ing time this team gets some traction, a bucket of goose poop gets thrown in front of them.

Fuck.

Anyone listen to the Baumgartner interview where he explains what he thinks went wrong?

They were rapid tests, waiting on the PCRs, always a chance for false positive but yikes. If Demko is out we're (frank)ed.

Baumer says they never lost the room,,, their best players were not their best players and someone had to take the fall for it and 4 of them did....

Point #2 today for Miller's replacement

Lose your best players = Lose the room

Based on yesterday’s conversation with Dreger, who talks with Jim Rutherford, don’t expect the #Canucks to make an earth-shattering move this season (JT Miller).

Although that can certainly change if the right offer comes along.

Nice, he's got to be one of our top guys not in the NHL - those are great stats for that age and SHL. SHL is a defence first league. This is good news.

Doubt we trade miller this year, lets see how the team looks without him! Like I said last game, EP and BB time to shine. No more excuses. They seem to be trending better.

How will Jim Rutherford tweak his roster?

@DarrenDreger: "Adding some young pieces, maybe shedding a little bit of payroll, but by no means diminishing the competitive aspect of what the #Canucks are going to be for the remainder of this season."

2nd in u23 scoring in the SHL. He started pretty slow too.
