I know. JT is so great, and Horvat is so great and Boeser is so great, and Hughes is so great, yet they are a 0.500 team. Can't imagine why other teams don't want to give up the moon to acquire your players.
That is flawed logic. By that same logic, McDavid and Draisaitl havent been all that great for the large majority of their careers then either...
I can't speak for other Vancouver fans but for me Miller and Hughes are in the "so great" category, meaning very good - elite players in the league. People on this site saw (likely read, didn't actually see) one off year for Hughes last year and thought he was a one season wonder, he wasent, he's a number #1 defenseman. Some people still say Miller is a second line player, those people obviously havent been following Miller since he joined the Canucks or they are stuck in their own bias from previous viewings when he was with other teams.
As for Boeser and Horvat, I would not consider them to be in the "so great" category, but they both hold good value, Horvat more so than Boeser in my opinion. If I am a contender looking to add a 2 or 3C I would pay a good price for Horvat. He as he has been a very good matchup centre for years now, excels at faceoffs and plays his best in big games. Boeser's injury history would be a minor concern for me, he has been on pace to play over 70 games the last three years (played every game last year), it's his QA that would make me reconsider if I was another team. I don't think Boeser has proven he is worth his 7.5 QO, so unless he was willing to negotiate a a lower cap hit at longer term that QO would some impact on his value, especially to a cap strapped contender.
