Tangerines Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Regarding the bolded: Pierre LeBrun: (Late May) ...a source told ESPN.com Wednesday that the Ducks have decided to stick with the kids in net, John Gibson and Frederik Andersen, and do not plan on courting Miller. You can also rule out fellow California club San Jose. The word out of there is that the Sharks are going to continue to focus on their mini-rebuild and it’s about youth for them. Adding veterans players is not in the cards in San Jose. Is Neimi still the goalie in SJ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Well I hope Maclean is wrong. I have been on the bandwagon to sign Hiller instead because I am worried about the price and more importantly term for Miller. I think someone will offer him stupid term. Sure pay him $6 million... but limit it to a 2-3 year term. Say a contract $6, $6, $3. = $5 million AAV and a cheap buyout at the end for the last year if Lack is good to go as a starter. As with a couple of posters before, I am not too terribly worried about the cap hit... we have enough players on good value deals we can afford to overpay a little for shorter term.

CanuckofSteel Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 News1130 Sports @News1130SportsFollow The agent for goalie Eddie Lack says he has talked with his client about the #Canucks going after a veteran goalie. News1130 Sports @News1130SportsFollow Kurt Overhardt says "Lack is ok with it, he's still learning and getting better".8:05 AM - 30 Jun 2014 Guys come on Lack is good with this, he not only learned from Luongo but gets to learn from Miller also. It's a good deal either way, we are not going to tank so lets just go ahead and sign Miller to nice 2-3 year deal and then have Lack become a beast.

Langdon Algur Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Could drafting Demko make Markstrom expendable or is it still too early to determine that?Kind of wondering that too. Not sure why everyone keeps saying Miller would be a good mentor to Demko when Markstrom is way closer to being NHL ready, higher on the depth chart and was a 1st round pick.

The Magician Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Sweet baby J please no: TEAM Radio @TEAM1040 1m Doug MacLean says he thinks a Ryan Miller deal could be in the 5-6 year range... I'd be fine with this. Miller is an elite goalie. He wasn't great in the playoffs this year but it was his first time ever there with the Blues. He took the US to the gold medal game in 2010, and there were some very good teams. He was a beast in Buffalo which has been a bottom 5 team forever.

2inthecup Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 The mid-day show on The Team said they heard of a proposed offer for 3 years at 15-16.5 million...so $5-5.5/Year for 3 years. Thats something i can live with. This team is not going full rebuild....TL and JB have said from day one that they are looking to make the playoffs every year and the trades he made look towards this. Instead of getting a bunch of prospects and picks we have gotten 3 players ages 22, 24, 26...the age this club has been lacking. What Benning has done is acquire players that we should have had in our system already with 2nd round picks that were traded away over the last 10 years.

Robongo Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 God I hope he goes to Anaheim. If we sign him @ 6 per, we will be paying 7.95mil for goaltending and most likely will lose Markstrom for a crappy pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dKs89 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I doubt our new management would be so quick to give out a long term deal, especially when we have Lack, who in the opinion of many can start in this league right now. I would not mind at all if we signed Miller to a 2 or 3 year deal though. Especially around 5-6m. Great value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prana16 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 This will be a great signing. Miller is a top 10 goalie No he isn't.. Luongo is better than Miller and we basically gave up him because Lack was out playing him.. this will be a mistake, goalie controversy again and a waste of cap that should be going to GOALSCORING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sampy Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 So what does this mean for Markstrom? They waive him?? In a dream work, Benning packages up Lack and whatever else to the Jets for Kane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
