from Ed Willes of the Vancouver Province,

The Canucks seem determined to bring back veteran goalie Ryan Miller for another year and you can understand their logic. But only to a point....

The upcoming season, moreover, projects as more of the same. The Canucks are trying to get younger. Their best prospects are still a couple of years away. They’re not ready to win yet nor are they particularly close and Miller won’t be around when the Canucks turn the corner.

So what does bringing him back accomplish?

The Canucks have been trying to sell the same story to their fan base for the last two seasons and have two dismal campaigns to show for it. By now, the faithful have embraced the rebuild and are prepared for what comes next.

They just have a hard time believing in the plan when they’re told one thing and the team delivers something else.

more plus some SCF talk...
