<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Randominoe</b></div><div>but like I said, I also think it will take multiple avenues of serious interest for it to reach this price, and in the end if we don't reach this threshold then we should hold onto him until the offseason, allow him to improve his value, and when the price comes down to just a full season of JT Miller, more teams can bid ontop of eachother.</div></div>

That would be the smart thing to do but I think the reason guys like garland, miller, boeser are even being considered in trade talks is due to the need for cap space
Canucks currently have 2.85 mill in cap while also having hamonic and sutter on LTIR, they will need to resign Boeser and Motte this offseason and they have no big contracts coming off the books

i see myers and hamonic near immovable unless cancuks retain but no shot canucks retain on myers when they are trying to clear cap not pay for a player to be on another team
poolman's contract would be tough to move and you will get pennys to the dollar for him at best
Moving pearson screws over their forward depth with no true replacement and he is on a relatively good contract for what he does so i don't see management wanting to move him

in the next 2 offseasons they have to re-sign miller, boeser who will probably both warrent a 7-8.5 mill contract and horvat probably around 6- 7.5 mill contract and in those 2 offseasons no big contracts except hamonic's 3 mill and luongo's 3 mill recapture come off the books now also you have to play the factor that canucks definitely need some big improvements on the defence outside of OEL who will probably start declining in the next few years and his contract will also then become immovable and then also quinn hughes canucks lack another dman who should be played in the top4

so in 2 years they clear around 31.15 mill in contracts which is a lot of cap
heres canucks needs
Resign Miller 7.5 mill
Resign Boeser 7.5 mill
Resign Horvat 6.5 mill
Resign Hoglaner 4 mill minimum if he doesn't completely breakout and become a good top 6 scorer and warrant more
Resign Motte 2 mill
Resign Rathbone 1.1 mill few other bottom line/ pair and depth guys too you might want to resign so add an extra 1.5 mill minimum there
now what else does van need to add to compete
1. Back up goalie
2. 2 Top 4 dmen
3. 2 forwards either 3rd or 4th liners

so minus all those players that need to be resigned that leaves van with 1.05 mill to sign a back up goalie, depth forwards and 2 top 4 dmen even if you clear myers cap 7.05 mill still isn't enough to fill all those holes add on that canucks don't have the greatest prospect pool so that can internally fill there holes they need to clear cap

i know miller is great and definitely deserves a value around 2-3 1sts but canucks are in deep cap **** and teams will take advantage of that look at vegas, vegas is gonna get minimal returns on martinez, dadonov, or smith due to the fact they need to move cap.
If canucks wait till next season to move miller his value will drop no matter how well he plays as it's no longer a question that cancuks will need to move one of horvat or miller just so they can have a full 21 man roster that can actually compete not to mention they are UFA's and that will hinder their value slightly aswell

Right now Miller's value is currently at it's highest but if they set the price to high and to out of reach for teams that do want to acquire him they will pay the price and lose out on value

atleast if they clear miller's 5.25 now and avoid having to pay 7+ mill that leaves them with around 14.05 mill to work with while also acquiring a 1st a young player a B tier prospect and a 3rd or 2nd

they can have a top 6 of Bo, Petey, Garland, Boeser, Hoglander and then that leaves them with 14 mill to acquire 2 good dmen which they need badly and also have cap left over to get an extra solid 3rd liner and a good backup goalie they will be a much more competive team there rather then if they stay in this cap crunch to long and get greedy in trade and then have no depth or solid top 4 RHD's and could potentially ruin their best years at competing
