On a team with, I don't know, maybe stronger leadership coming from somewhere else, or a different culture, or a different coach, or a differently constituted young Swedish centre, Miller probably is the better value. But on the Canucks team they had at that point, Horvat was worth $500K more.
Still disagree.

With Horvat, instead of Miller, we don’t have the 2023-24 season.

A season in which they still didn't win anything of consequence.

But it's impossible to say whether they would have gotten more for Miller, how much that player (or players) would have contributed, and whether EP40 would have been more effective in such circumstances.

Plus, they'd be much better off this season.

Ha. So true.

Here we are lamenting about what we, in our perpetual acceptance of mediocrity, view as a successful season worth celebrating.

The reality is that was just another failure and should be more or less forgotten.

All these assets are middling and meh. I'm all in on a tear down rebuild.
