Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks: Qualifying Offer Deadlines, Should Canucks Sign Miller? As the NHL free agency market prepares to open tomorrow, teams have one last day to issue qualifying offers and prepare to make their big signings. For the Canucks, it looks like Ryan Miller is their top target.

I wonder if Miller will be MDG or Miller Lite.

yeah, not sure of the context behind the word ogre in that sentence.

Yay ! A high priced former all-star goalie that's a headcase.

Come on man, if the Canucks get him for 3X $5M, it's not the end of the world.

Would prefer Hiller.

I know Parenteau has a hefty cap hit at 4 per, but that's a nice value for Montreal.

wont be the end of the world, no. Still have to wonder where our goals will come from. I think if we sign miller to mentor lack or something that we basically will be a bottom 6 team again. I am fine with that for now. Still would prefer to not sign miller though.

2 years 9 million total i'm fine with.

It all depends on the $$$, but would prefer Hiller over Miller and only want them to sign for short term.

Would like to see Lack start 50+ games and have a capable vet backup.

No it isn't, but it's the end of the rebuild.

I was trying to find some sources I could quote on this, but read some comments last week from the MSM that he was ducking out of postgame media scrums during the playoffs and generally being a bear to the press. Do you like "bear" better than "ogre"?

I didn't save the links at the time. If anyone can find these quotes or tweets, please post. Thanks!

I'd rather not sign him at all.

Edit.

Johansen is not happy...

All good, just never heard ogre used in that context.

If Benning doesn't go off on ufa goalies, there is money for a ufa like Moulson or might be able to capitalize on a cap dump from another team...

If we get similar production out of Bonino to the numbers Kesler put up, then we are still lacking that 2nd line finisher that we have lacked since Samuelsson left...

If we can get a proven 20+ goal scorer for the 2nd line, we will be at least a wild card team again next year. If Benning is done on the trade front, we may be in the hunt for CMD.

All good, just never heard ogre used in that context.

Made me think of the Coast Capital tv commercials.

Flames made a trade offer for Cam Ward in exchange for Carolina's 7th pick. Obvious salary dump opportunity. Hurricanes declined.
