Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

You can take the Blob out of Pitt Lake, but you can’t take the Pitt Lake out of Blob

Burke's Evil Spirit -

Well I won't speak for MS but here's how I see it:

- The Canucks as constructed aren't close to being a playoff team, generally speaking.
- In a weirdly easy season in the Western Conference, the Canucks could have made the playoffs as a one-off if a few small things broke their way.
- There's enough talent and cap space here that a decent GM could just needs to add depth pieces and expect to have a pretty good team. Not a contender, but in the playoffs. This makes it unlikely that the Canucks will concede a high pick in 2021 to Tampa Bay.
- Jim Benning is not that GM.

So the Miller trade, in general, is not a bad one to make. But with this management group at the helm? Potentially catastrophic.
So the talent pool, cap space and Miller trade are good, but the guy who made them is bad, can not be trusted to make good decisions and needs to be fired.

So the consensus is, there is no consensus. Seems like 6M would be about right but in FA you know it will be more. With term being the stumbling block, the difference between 5 years and seven.

Giving him 7 million a year puts him into the top 15 paid D men in the league. By most accounts his ability puts him somewhere between 90 and 120.

This should be a no brainer to not give him much more than 4 or 5 million per year over 5 years.

MS: "Biega should be this team's #5 defender. He's a better player than Tyler Myers right now."
