Yes, and signing UFA’s for $5.5 million is fool proof, for sure. You can get super excellent UFA’s at $5.5 million that will be just as good as Miller

Yeahno, UFAs are overpriced...
Exactly and your not getting top shelf UFA’s at $5.5 million in fact $5.5 range UFA types are usually overpaid like your Myers etc.

Most are. Some aren’t.
And its guaranteed we will land that “Some”. Not

The list of bad signings is pure insanity. I had to take a break when reading the never ending list. Super overwhelming

This ain't baseball. It's a contact sport and but for the odd exception you're paying an UFA for what he has done in the hopes he can do it again, usually for an unrealistic period of time and usually at an exorbitant price. It's an informed (hopefully) roll of the dice. Where UFA's tend to work: if the team needs to plug a hole in the line up with a middling player. Most teams try to resign their pending UFA's that they think are exceptional or who are valuable and willing to accommodate the teams salary structure, unless of course that player has become redundant, in which case their value is best measured elsewhere.

Hope the above makes sense. In the case of Miller, he is still a valuable commodity to the Canuck's, the issue remains, as numerous posters have pointed out, salary in respect to the cap, and term in respect to his age. So the gamble becomes where does subtraction (Miller) have a potential benefit that exceeds the loss via trade. Of course it all becomes moot if he wants to leave, in which case Allvin et. al. are forced to do the best they can in light of the former.

In general UFAs are overpriced and you know nothing about "asset management"...

Are you denying there’s been several solid signings of UFA players in the the 4-5 million dollar range?

My question is much more important/relevant than your question.

If you must trade Miller you trade him for youngish quality players on decent contracts.

You don't dump him for picks and sign generally overpriced UFAs, you ninny.
