I get that, but they're going to be a middling team for the foreseeable future now, instead of moving him last year. Imagine if they had taken the reported offer of Chytil, Lundqvist, and 1st for him, and then dont the Lundqvist trade with DAL?
What could have turned into Chytil (breaking out with 28 pts in 40), two 1sts, and a 4th would have been a great return, and the Canucks and most fans scoffed at it.
Yeah, I don't disagree, with that but I imagine even if they traded Miller, they would have waited to sign Horvat and be signing him to an 8m deal now anyways, and then it would be more or less the same problem.
Personally, I thought what they should have done in the off-season was trade Miller for whatever and resign Horvat to 6m-6.5m. Right now, it looks like I was right, but it's not like Miller can't have a bounce back next year or in the future.
At this point they need to just trade Horvat, at least one of Boeser (I really think he needs a change of scenery) or Garland, trade Myers (next off-season), trade/buyout OEL, and acquire one legit top 4 D man (via trade or free agency). Then next year, they should reassess where they are at if they can't compete, then it would be time to look at moving out more guys and essentially rebuilding.
