1 year ago, this sub and the media wanted Boeser and Miller gone.
April 14, 2024
Look at how wrong we were. Miller, hitting 100 points for the first time in his career. Along with, having one of the best contracts in the NHL. And Boeser hitting 40 goals for the first time in his career, after the trade rumors and requests.

Can you blame them? Boeser had been an empty shell of his rookie form. That was in 2017/2018 for fuck sakes. I wanted boeser out too. I’m crazy surprised he turned it around this season, but it’s been a huge boost to this team and he’s a big part of why this team has been so good this year.
The difference is this year we’re seeing success on a winning team and they’re both a big part of that.
All I see on the bottom is Frank Seravelli.
I mean, even the Canucks front office wanted to move Boeser’s contract – they gave his agent permission to seek a trade.
With Miller, it took the Pens’ ownership not wanting to take on J.T.’s contract for them to pivot to acquiring Mikael Granlund (lol) with minutes to spare. The Canucks were far enough down that road that they tried to get Zucker included in the deal.
There’s a fair amount of luck involved in these decisions, even for the people making them.
Winning tends to solve a lot of problems

No way! JT is my favourite cause he is a prick just like me 😊 he’s passionate and no bullshit.
Jimothy can be a bit of a prick when he’s frustrated and angry? Colour me shocked 😱
I don’t doubt that JT Miller is a much nicer teammate on a winning squad. And yes, I wanted him traded last year. I’m willing to admit I was wrong. Stronger leadership from Hughes has perhaps influenced Miller in a positive way that clearly old 53 wasn’t getting done.
& Now there’s a subsection of fans that want Pettersson gone crazy the difference a year makes
Slight adjustment/Correction is needed to this thread.
The majority of the fanbase / this sub wanted a Viable Direction.
The team had spent nearly 10 years trying to sneak into playoffs in order to satisfy Ownership’s short term vision.
The Fanbase was tired of that Vision because year after year it didn’t work. Essentially we were stuck in the middle and going nowhere fast.
So the fanbase decided to shift its attention to the Petey and Hughes 26 to 30 year windows, which also meant, short term Rebuild.
Miller, at his Age, and by using typical Age Curves in the NHL, didn’t fit that window and hence why the Fanbase wanted to Trade him.
Now, credit to Management, who completely overhauled the team:
5 out of 7 new Defensemen.
8 out of 14 new Forwards.
1 Competent backup Goalie.
That’s 14 new players out of a 23 Man Roster…. 60%
So yea, Fanbase wanted a new direction and they were right to think that way after 10 years of idiotic Ownership/Mismanagement.
But credit to the Management team that brought in 60% of new players into the roster to make this team a competitor again.
I was one of the fans who wanted JT gone. I was wrong and I’ve never been happier to eat crow.
Whole sub was convinced Benning had completely ruined the team for the next decade. Two years after he’s fired we’re 1 pt away from clinching the division.
I want to make it clear that anyone with half a brain didn’t want Miller gone. People on this sub are unathletic idiots that have never played sports. Anyone who played sports in their lives saw a guy who was highly competitive on a team full of guys who weren’t matching his level.
The media didn’t want Miller gone either. Not sure who you’re referring to.
I’ve never met a good hockey player that doesn’t like JT miller.
I’d still sell him on Boeser if the right handed D.eal came along and move show me the money Hronek.
Or how much crap garland gets. People would try to explain the value of is 5v5% but people want goals and assists. I’ve learned to never take fans seriously. Like miller posted the 7th most pts in a season by a Canuck, highest since Daniel in 2010 on a president trophy team, and are mad benning gave him 8mill…
Lets not forget Connor Garland. Hell even the Chaos Giraffe exceeded expectations this season
Canucks fanbase letting their emotions run high and the Media capitalizing on it? Colour me surprised!
This sub and probably a large part of the fanbase were hellbent on running Miller out of town. We had sub moderators posting highlights of Miller slamming his stick angrily at faceoffs…
The overreactions to the “Delia incident” and the “Pumpkin Patch” was cringe as fuck. Major props to the users that copped the downvotes for defending him.
Not me I had criticism but never wanted them gone
I mean, Miller is kind of a prick, but in the best way possible. He’s passionate. He doesn’t take shit. He gets in opponents’ faces. He’s the kind of sandpaper guy you love to have. He can irritate the living fuck out of the other guys, then still put up 100 points a season. I’m glad he’s around long term.
Hockey is built for hardnoses like JT and Zadorov and Joshua…
Sure like watching 43, though…
Because the idea was we were in a rebuild/retool and he could’ve fetched a 1st ++. His contract will be great the next 3 or 4 years but how will he play when he hits 35?
these 20/20 hindsight posts say more about the person who posts them than the people the poster is trying to shame.
Guilty as charged, miller pissed me off for a good while with his bullshit hissy fits that have been completely replaced by LIGHTS OUT BIG TIME HOCKEY. Sorry I doubted him.
