Especially when the reverse would have been paying Horvat less just prior to a career year, and trading Miller for a bunch of assets so that you don't have to pay him a premium

They literally played it to the worst possible outcome.
- NorthNuck

Yup!

That is one D man I can get behind, wonder what the cost would be, and if something built around Boeser as it gets him closer to home could be worked out?

Poor wording.

More coming?

Does acquiring former first round picks ease the pain of moving their own out? That seems to be the line of thinking in Vancouver. There’s another young forward, former high first-rounder on their radar. Deal hasn’t materialized yet, so we’ll see if it goes anywhere.

Casey Mittelstadt?

Pretty sure someone mentioned Sam Bennett also. Or Sam Reinhart

For the last 1st or 2-3rds?

At 6"7 he wouldn't have any worries

Player for player trades I'd suppose. Boeser or Miller.

Let's hope so, our picks are running low.

dhaliwal just said Florida

moving the Boeser money (at a cost) and then paying assets to get Sam Reinhart would be very Canucks

Other rumours, Barrett Hayton.

The move I would like to see now is if possible, flip Beauvillier for a 2nd/3rd. If you can't get Boeser or Miller or Garland moved out, might as well shop Beau since he's putting up points.

Lucas Forsell scores from in front of the net once again.

Team is close, smart moves by Benning

The only one they don't have a real positional replacement for is Myers.. could bring Schenn back and voila.

And Miller, clearly. Nothing to be done about C depth at this point.
- NewYorkNuck

Its not replacing if the current guy isnt doing the job. We probably have a top 10 draft with a lot of depth at center.

Sounds okay.
- VanHockeyGuy

Is Arizona really gonna keep going backwards?

It is a close second to Loui Eriksson, sorry to bring it up guys but if we're ranking bad benning moves...
- neem55

Loui Cost nothing to acquire.... OEL Cost a top 10 pick. Far worse.

Sounds okay.

Miller? Miller!

So now the shock or surprise of the latest trade has sunk in. Can we be objective?

It’s very rare and hard to get a proven young top 4 RHD. A position of greatest need for the Canucks.

The issue is the sacrifice of restocking prospects. Did anyone think it wasn’t going to cost, to fill the most glaring weakness, on the team?

Quick to VGK.

Miller? Miller!
