Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks Game Day vs. Calgary Flames, Hockey Day in Canada Dan Hamhuis returns to action on the blue line as the Vancouver Canucks host the Calgary Flames on Saturday night at Rogers Arena.

Please beat the Flames

With Luongo and the three players sent down the Canucks now have 4.3 mil in wasted cap space.

The funny thing is most here would agree it is necessary.

Please beat the Flames

Please don't. Let them finish 2 pts ahead in the standings and get the better pick

I would be pissed if I was Markstrom.

Miller starts because he's the man driving the undercover ninja tank. JB is a genius. Tell Fernando your doing the best you can to make the playoffs. Riding our 6million dollar goalie to the promised land. He just didn't tell Aqualoonie the promised land was a top five pick at the draft

"...I find the continued commitment to Miller mystifying."

You are not alone.

He'll be the starter next year

Miller still has one more year.

Hockey day in Canada is so gimmicky... If only Ron MacLean wasn't part of it.

Don't see it. No team desperate enough.

They have more old white people than the Oscars

Maybe when PK retires

He's played well this year when rested, better than other teams starters to be honest, with only a year left someone may take a chance and trade for him.

Or they could keep him and split the starts?

They should definitely be giving Markstrom more starts but as long as WD is coach and Miller is on the bench it will be hard. Millers salary is the hard part to trade

That's what we said about Prust with WD loving him, things change and there's always a way get something done if they eat 50% of his salary for one year or something along those lines.

Please beat the Flames

I approve this message.

If you eat 50% then you still need to bring in a goalie for at least 1 mil . You would be paying 4 mil for a crappy goalie. You are better off to keep Miller for the extra year and cut your losses. Try to move him next year at TDL.

We are not winning anything next year anyways

Depends what the return is.

Yup.

I wonder if it can happen in the offseason though. Winnipeg maybe? Some fringe team with inconsistant goaltending. I could seee SJ or Ana picking him up for insurance at the TDL, Anahiem's achilles heel come playoffs is goaltending it seems.

In other news, Vantel did you notice the Hamuis to Washington story on tsn, apparently you were onto something

We don't need the drama. Move him.

Would love to move him but don't see any dance partners, but I sure hope you guys are right.
