I don't want just picks back for Miller. Happy with a 1st plus whatever else, would like them to get the meat of the deal in young players/prospects, rather than just 3 1sts and 2 2nds kind of thing.

I've offered you right handed centers and you keep rejecting them

Sorry man, I don't keep stats on every prospect every team has like someone *ahem ahem* in here does , so when you throw out random names I sometimes have no idea who they are.

I don't think high-end C is as pressing as high end D is, assuming Petey can take a bigger step into center next year.

Definitely a Jimothy Timothy when he's bringing his A game, Jonathan Tonathan when he's coasting that sweet C+ backcheck

Better trade him. Anyone over 30 should be traded. Signed to contracts 1 year in length and under 900k

Yes, obviously that’s one stupid extreme. But the other side is the fans who continually propose that players like JT Miller should take a shorter deal at a lower $ amount than is reasonable. You only have to look at NH’s CapFriendly page for some examples…

He specifically called himself out on not winning faceoffs in the previous game, so safe to assume he's looking to improve there this summer

Most fans one extreme to the other.

Like Boeser. He should come in at a team friendly deal that is lower value than all comparable players by a couple million.

Unfortunately Vancouver has taxes so it's never going to look as nice as some other contracts

Somebody needs to play the PK and a right shot center.

Time to draft a D or two in the top rounds. Develop a culture in Abbotsford to grow players.

Agree, though I don't think Miller has had a hugely positive impact on the PK this year? From what I remember his numbers are pretty underwhelming.

Either way they need to add a right handed center for 3C or 4C, I just think those are probably easier found in FA and trades rather than trying to get a young top end C back and push him immediately into a bigger role than they might be ready for.

I wasn’t taking a shot at You, just fans in general.

But, the comparables are 8 x $8.5 so…

Miller hasn't helped a miserable PK this year. There's just not a lot that are all that impressive on the PK in the league unless they play for Carolina. Then everyone is a PK superstar

3C or 4C isn't a huge role. I mean who cares if they are learning on the fly. Just traded Miller, team isn't worried about winning anyways.

The most often comparable player I’ve heard is Mika Zibinejad’s 8 year $64m extension.

Before this season I thought it would cost $50m (7 x $7) to sign him. Now I think it will be closer to $60.

Ooops, I ran off track and was thinking Boeser not Miller.

Wagner is an absolute moron.

He still brings up things JB said 6 years ago. If anyone to was ever bring up his tweets and how bad they would have turned out. It might break twitter from laughter.

Drance is the only local media guy worse than Wagner. Both complete clowns
