Oilers are more dynamic offensively
I would rather have millers 8 million and boesers 6 million than draisaitls 14 million
Miller scored 102 points
And boesers scored 73 points so unless draisaitl gets more than 175 points once he starts getting paid 14 million I’d rather have miller and boeser
Oilers going the way of TO.
You get what you pay for. Draisaitl everyday!!!!
Both great players, but only one is considered a Superstar. Ps. It ain’t Miller
The Canucks as it stands have a deeper, more complete team than Edmonton. If Petey can get out of his own head, If they can pry another defenseman like Larsson out of Seattle. They will become SC favorites.
F the oilers
Im a canucks fan and a oilers hater but Draisaitl is on another level from Miller offensively
How about overplaying for a player that couldn’t even produce after he signed the contract in Elias Patterson
😂😂😂😂 Really! This is not an argument in real life. Online is pretty much speculation. So both players are value to the good . I am Oilers fan but recognize that Miller is a great player also. The cap is not my problem. We don’t own the teams.
I’d rather have miller and boeser instead of draisaitl for the same price
I think JT has the better value contact but that doesn't mean i wouldn't want Drai at his either.
ALL COiler fans are losers…..its a pre-requisite to entering Alberta. You qualify as a COMPLETE AND UTTER LOSER if you live there. 😅😂😅😂LMFAO
Actually I want to see Toronto fans & Oilers fans in one contamination to make their own pitch proposal would make sense between Leon Draisaitl or probably Mitch Mariner is perfect fit big value deal offer sheet, will be blockbusters move both side & their agent is best interest in actually accept it & make it official provel agreement with conversation
id rather have miller and another 7 million guy rather than Drai and a other 1 milliom guy
both options equal 15 mill cap hit.. but the miller option makes u better
What debate?
Miller is not Draisaitl
Miller is more Physical but no where near the skill of Draisaitl
Draisaitl doesn’t spend the PP throwing behind the back no look passes to Hughes.
Different players.
What is more sad is that the online battle is over
Canucks #1 Centre vs Oilers #2 centre
That right there should tell you how far Canucks are from contending
Petterson is # 2C in Van, Miller is a better 2 way and faceoff player
And I would rather have Neugent Hopkins on my team over Petterson
Canucks are pretenders, Oilers are actual contenders
Didn’t realize drai was 28 already. I’d take miller at his cap hit then.
Miller ain't nothing compared to the German Gretzky
I don’t think any Fan of any other team in the league would choose JT Miller on their team over Draisatyl!! Regardless of the money! He’s head and shoulders above Miller as a player! Ones a star and the other is a Superstar! Draisatl is a playoff proven performer and worth every penny! I’m a Habs fan and would take him in a heartbeat for that price! There’s no comparison between the 2 players and he’d be the best player on the Canucks right now hands down!
Love reading these Oilers fans knocking JT Miller…JT is the type of guy that would make them eat their own words. Miller has way more character and I have more faith in him to bring home a Cup than Draisaitl. What kind of price tag would you put on a person who has the will to win? Miller eeks out Draisaitl overall and would rather have him on our team. I'm looking forward in seeing a monster year with Boeser and Miller being there along side him. I hope this season Pettersson finds this in himself to will the team to victory. No more excuses. Step up or step out.
If Canuck fans suddenly think capspace trumps everything, wouldn’t you take Bouchard at 3.9 million over hughes at 7.9?
No real Oiler fan is comparing Miller to Leon lol. I even doubt rational Canuck fans are comparing them 😂
Hey Leggo, by Canuck fan rationale they must believe Miller is better than McDavid as well since the contract difference is so big. Ridiculous premise.
Here's the debate;
Would you rather have miller/pettersson for just under $20mil
Or
Draisaitl/hyman at just over $20mil
I think it's great to have such an intense rivalry. I'm a Canucks lover and, as far as the Oilers? I'm not a hater, but I'm not a fan, to put it mildly. Should make for some spirited games this season.
Thats two top six forward players for the Oilers, or two solid defence. I will take Miller because its easy to get under Leon' s skin because he is not as strong mentally.
As an Oilers fan, I think JT Miller's 8m contract is awesome for a ppg and 100 pt guy. Draisaitl signed an 8.5m contract 7 years ago, and he's exceeded expectations with two 50 goal and multiple 100 point seasons, setting playoff records and winning some hardware and I think this 14m extension is a fair market price to pay for Draisaitl. Both players have worked hard for their contracts, Miller has played really well hitting 100 pts after his new contract, and Draisaitl is finally getting paid what he deserves with his new extension. Theres really no point in comparing Millers current contract and Draisaitl's extension.
Look there’s nothing wrong with debating things respectfully which is why I love this channel even as an Oilers fan. It’s a great place to get news and rumours and pretty much the closest you get to unbiassed nowadays and first off I thank you for that Lego and second off. I’m just gonna say it with the cap increasing I would personally rather Leon
Millar is a deal for that price. Draisitl is… probably getting what he’s worth. Van and Edm are both winning here.
If Drais was a Canuck he wouldnt have McDavid feeding him no look passes for no talent tap-ins on t he PP. He would be right where Miller is on the Canucks just not as good. You can tack on an extra 40 PP points he gets becasue of McDavid set PP plays.
The fact that this is even a thing shows that Canucks fans make Nashville and Carolina fans look like they have elite hockey IQ.
Drai is a far superior player. But bang for buck…. Miller all day. You can get a decent player for 6mil
Canucks fan here. Drai is a way better player than miller hands down. But there are things Miller does that drai cant.
1/2 the canucks fan base wanted Miller traded instead of extending and wanted Horvat instead 😂😂.
waste of time
There’s no comparison between any current roster player on Vancouver that’s even close to Draisaitl. Van fans once again proving to be the biggest homers in the NHL.
lol
Anyone putting those two names in the same sentence passed “Leon outplayed Miller again” either doesn’t know a damn thing about hockey or is blinded by fandom
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
😂😂 i dont chirp em any more, too many hurts donuts out there. Plus van reallly doesnt have a history, they've just been around alot longer with out. Some have it, some dont. I mean so why bother….
Dria's last contract was 8.5m for the last 8 years. Oilers have had nothing but value for what he was producing at…so the majority of the sane fans will accept this contract. Plus it's the market. 2 or 3 years from now his percentage of cap will shrink.
Take McDavid out of that equation and he's a 60 point player
I hope you enjoyed this vishvasshurolinionineniiiine, and… bye.
This guy is a complete homer, nucks now know they suck!… can’t catch the league off guard! How about that LeGo99 🤪
As a fan of neither team:
Stupid debate to be having. Draisaitl has been a significantly better player than JT Miller in their respective careers to this point. Miller is NOT a better asset to have at this time.
JT Miller is a great player, no question.
But contract values don't increase linearly as the player's production increases. Like, if a 90 point player is worth $1 million more than an 80 point player, then a 100 point player will easily be able to get paid something like $1.5 – 2 million more than the 90 point player. The amount star players will get paid has been shown to accelerate higher than linearly as the cap increases.
Sure, as fans we'd like to see our team not have to pay out like that and have more cap space to build a team that has better depth around our stars, but unfortunately that just isn't the direction that general managers and star players have gone. They've gone with the salary of stars rising faster as the cap permits than the salary of other players.
When the Oilers were without McDavid at the beginning of last season, the team was not as lethal with Draisatl alone versus the Canucks. Or else, the Oilers could be winning the division (with or without the coaching change), and the Canucks could be just fighting for a playoff spot. Luck could even out this season without Demko for a while.
All that matters is the playoffs….drai produces more then anyone
Drai is better then Miller. As a Canucks fan I'm thrilled with how Miller plays, I think he's very underrated in the league, but let's be real here. The offensive production of Draisaitl is too much of a board tipper here. Draisaitl is definitely less effective without McDavid but he still reaches 100 points a season almost effortlessly.
Ok I'm not an Oilers fan. I'm a Jets fan. But seriously comparing Miller to Draisitl? Canuck fans are really moronic. How many times has Miller taken you guys to the playoffs? Has he taken you guys to a final? And I dont mean just Draisaitl, but hes a big part too. So before you canuck fans laugh at the contract, just dont, you guys look like the idiots in the end. Remember how he was with his teammates? Think of that also. Draisaitl is a stand up guy. Oilers fans quit fighting with the jealous moronic Canuck fans, they are just jealous. Gio you think Bure really is better than Draisaitl?? Really? Seriously?
I’d take JT over whiny Leon any day.
These Canucks fans don’t quit with the excuses!!!!! When the season starts Demko will be there biggest excuse then after that it will be something else !!!! Biggest excuse fan base in all major sports
Compare drai to Miller is just disgusting they are not in the same League
