Matt and Blake discuss what the Canucks should do with J.T. Miller. While waiving him might be too farfetched, the guys make the case for trading and keeping him.

No one would take him, that's why they had to sign him. New mgmt couldn't handle letting a top asset walk for nothing.
Youād have to give up multiple picks + to get rid of him or be stuck like the Wild are with written off cap space. Nobody taking that contract
J.T. Miller will be Canucks next captain. He is willing to speak out and throw F bombs to media.
No one is taking Miller for 7 years starting at age 30. They screwed themselves with this one, he's gonna be a boat anchor the Canucks for at least 5 years before a buyout is feasible
Just another contract theyāll have to buyout. Pearson, Myers, Poolman, OEL, Miller. Might have to buyout Garland too, because nobody is taking that contract for 5mil.
Move miller 1000% he doesnāt fit into the term of this team they signed him thinking this was a playoff team the worst part is moving him is impossible unless we loose picks or prospects witch we only have like 2 and one of them has been injury riddled I donāt see how they make a deal
If you put Miller on waivers, heād fall right through 31 teams. Thereās no way any team will pick him up. Itāll result in Miller saying to management, get me the hell out of here.
TRADE!!!! Duh!
I'm glad these 2 guys feel there's hope that Miller can be moved. I fear that no other team will want to touch that contract with a 10-foot pole. I hope I'm wrong! In fact, please tell me I'm wrong!
They should clearly trade him, if they can. It's just another cap anchor added to the team. Can they? That's another question. Again, thank you, Gary Bettman for bringing in the salary cap the screws over franchises that can afford to build a competitive team to assist franchises that can't. The salary cap has done nothing to stop rising salaries, particularly at the top. The cost to keep top players is continuing to skyrocket, so those middle 6, forwards 4-5 d-man and even top 6 and bonafide top 4 defensemen are being squeezed out of the league. Those players in the 28-33 range who are still very useful players are being replaced early on in their careers by much cheaper, borderline NHL players and the product has suffered as a result. That's why goals are up. At some point, your 4th line and your bottom pairing, borderline NHL players, are going to have to go up against top players like MacKinnon, McDavid, Crosby, Draisaitl, Hedman and Matthews and coaches will be bracing themselves for impact.
Itās a non starter, nobody wants Miller on their team. The time to trade him was last season.
Trade Miller for sweetner 80 % retained Rangers can have him They don't have to sighed he's already sighed maybe get 4 years out of jt Miller he's can mentor the Rangers younger core
Keep him unless you can acquire assets. I would not give up assets to get rid of him.
Maybe islanders want the contract he's still good Hockey players 4 years into his contract 34 till 37 or Arizona likes bad contracts attracted fans base better to moved Him lockers room cancers
Miller and flyers Torz likes his attitude
TRADE HIS ASS. if you can. Keep Bo under any circumstances. Heās too important to our team. Miller is a defensive liability annoyingly vocal scoring winger with consistency issues. Bo has gotten better every single year.
Just send these over paid Loser players to Abbotsford. Just say a canard for Bedard! C'mon man!
Florida for bobrovsky
They can't trade him now lol, no one will take him but they should've traded him last year. We all know the front office is just puppets tho and owner makes all decisions so he has no clue what to do.
Retain 50% of Miller contract, and lekkermakki who is the mini sticks version of boeser who they are also trying to trade, to bluejackets for Peeke and a 2nd
You can't have jt around the younger players ffs what a horrible example
They should keep him. Only in Vancouver would the media and fans jump on a 99 point player that was the only guy going this time last year. And No you hold out on Bo till trade deadline.
I like JT, a lot, but even I can admit he has to be better and yes, that incoming contract basically makes him untradeable.
This team and market get too in love with players. Even Bo, yes he's having a great season and he's a steller person, but the haul for him should be very good and no reason to think this season will be him moving forward. It's an anomoly.
If I was a billionaire I would sent that bad attitude to the minor for the next 7 years.
If Vancouver eats $2mil/yr on JT's contract, then sure. Else he's gonna be in Vancouver for a long time…
This videos existence is exactly why this Canucks Franchise will NEVER win a Stanley Cup! They just signed the guy for 8 years! This same management. You cannot up & trade the guy less than one year later.. Put down the video game controller.
Canucks are stuck with the guy. Hopefully the next Head Coach will have some defensive structure & JT can settle back in.
