The Vancouver #Canucks have signed J.T. Miller to an $8M x 7 year extension beginning in 2023-24

Miller will be 37 years of age when this contract expires.

Would rather have Tage on his upcoming deal than Kadri or JT Miller’s.

Although I agree, Tage is a polarizing player. Most of his goals last year were silly snipes. I think he is still on the rise, as Miller is likely at his peak (for how much longer?).

Kid could be a solid addition if he adds a bit of weight.

Anyone going to Wingfest today will be treated to seeing my band, Boomerang! at the Labbatt gate4/tailgating area right at the main entrance. We'll be playing roughly from 12-5ish depending on how long our singers can hold out. Venue is nice to let us use a suite for breaks.

Should be a blast.

So if Vancouver moves Horvat is he worth a gamble. Fantastic on the Dot.

So the guy lucked into 38 goals? That might be the worst take on this board in weeks.

I think that $7.1m contract is pretty spot on. I would have preferred something like 5 x $6.0 - $6.5m myself, but the risk of him walking to UFA status if he had another season similar to last year is worth paying a premium.

I disagree with others who position the threat of his next contract value at $9.0m $10m if he had another season like last. Recent signings for guys puting up 80+ points at ~$8.2m make that an uunreasonable projection at 70+/- pts.

Now the risk of underperformance exists, although I don't see a high risk of significant underperformance.

Summary, hats off to Adams and team for a reasonable contract signed early and sending a strong message to the team.

Now let's hope Krebs, Cozens, Power and other youngins take notice and take the next steps of development.

I don't discount the value of FO's to near zero like some, yet I can't bring myself to making it a significant criteria either. I would rather have a strong dot presence to be sure, but wouldn't over value it either.

Bo's a 27 yo, 0.75 ppg player with good possession metrics and good shooting percentage.
1 year left at $5.5m...probably a $7.0m - $7.5/m contract value next year.

Not sure I would trade for that now and lose an asset (unless it was Portillo), why not just wait for UFA?

Agree, I am interested on what the return will be, they really can't take on a contract

I wonder if anyone ever said that about Brett Hull, as if it was a bad thing. "He scored a ton of goals but only because he could shoot the puck through the back of the net".

Something a little less than Sam's return. Prospect and pick. Portillo and say a 2nd. Idk.

perfect world, 6 mil per, but it's not my money

my guess is if he went off again next year, it would be 9 per so the good thing is they identified a core piece moving forward and locked him up

1 down a lot more to go

Love riverworks but I can’t tell you how many people are just walking around canalside during the summer with nothing to do.

I get basspro years ago wasn’t the answer but man who ever puts something remotely interesting downtown that isn’t a restaurant and some form of entertainment will make bank

People down there literally wandering doing nothing waiting to spend money. (Myself included )
