Still surprised J.T Miller was signed.

Mixed feelings on it. In a way I feel he should be traded for assets.

I was laughing at other teams paying big money to guys who will be in their late 30's and now we have one of those contracts.

Either will have to move J.T or whoever else. Can't see the Canucks being able to afford Horvat unless something is done.


Same, at least it wasn't anywhere north of 9m or 8 yrs.

Pretty fair contract at least. Sucks that alvin couldn't trade him, but if they only got low ball offers or didn't meet the asking price, I'm fine with using Miller for the next 4 yrs.

Horvat won't be an issue to sign, I think they will trade a winger to make room if needed later on.

Ya I think I should be happier. The term is scary but for everything he brings there is good value on this contract by comparison to a lot of the other big signings.

Miller can be successful in any situation. Few players can do that.

He also created an internal cap, he took some pay cut to stay in vancouver. I hope the other kids that will be better than him in time take some discount as well on their next contracts. *Cough* Petey

Poolman expected to be healthy and be ready to play. Good news, he adds the extra depth the canucks desperately need on the rightside. He isn't some game changer, but a solid shutdown dman

Young stars tournament roster announced. Any long shot dark horses in this group?

Will be interesting to see if anyone stands out.

Jett Woo had a lot of fan fare when he was drafted back in 2018 but has really fallen down the depth chart.

Also wondering about Danila Klimovich. He is only 19 so I am wondering if he can find the next level in his game. Seems like he did not get much playing time in Abbotsford.

Linus, bains, Lockhart, danilia and silvos are all dark horses to make the NHL.

Klim has a chance for sure, but probably a bottom-6 guy if he turns out. Whenever a prospect swims instead of sinks in the AHL at 18 years old, that's a pretty good sign.

Woo had a monster season the year after he was drafted which gave Canucks fans a boner but hasn't shown too much since. However he has less than 1 season's worth of pro games and it's all been during the COVID era so there may still be something there with a little more seasoning. Not if there's real top-4 NHL upside though.

Rathbone and Lackermankey are our only "real" prospects right now. Rathbone turning out to be something more than a bottom-pairing offensive specialist would be huge for us. It's been a long time since we've had a young player on defense develop in our system and work his way up the lineup and legitimately stay there. Tanev was really the last guy and that was quite a while ago and he wasn't even a highly touted prospect. Guys like Hutton and Stecher looked promising at times but it eventually became clear neither were top-4 options long-term. Not counting Hughes because he was pretty much top-4 ready the day he entered the organization.

Lolnucks win, 3-0.

Looks like canucks prospects are #1 after all, unlike what the analysts and media says! Huehue

Karlsson and Bains looked like they were smurfing all game. They had a lot of chances, but only scored one each. Thought canucks prospects were gonna lose at first cuz they couldn't connect much passes or play like a team at the start of game but eventually got better and understood how to play with each other.
