Realtor Rod Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 If Quick is down for any length of time LA needs a vet to fill in. They have some nice pieces that they could move. Could be a good partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrDrFunk Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 You put it in the right section, tagged it properly and then didn't actually include a proposal. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AriGold Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I'm pretty sure this is what everybody is thinking at this point. Canucks hold 3M of Millers contract and they trade us Adrian Kempe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First things first, Miller had the No Trade clause or whatever, but would he waive to move to LA where his wife is working even if when Quick comes back and he's relegated to backup role? Yes you bet he would. It's also a shot at a cup. Problem. Canucks would need to retain salary which isn't a big deal since this is th least year of his contract or they have to take back serious salary. The last time I checked, the Kings only have 2 million in cap space and would need to clear at least 4 million. The only player making something around that I can see them parting with is Dustin Brown and I don't think we want to be straddled with that contract. Could we pick up a decent prospect for Miller if we retained 4 Million in Salary??? It's worth a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJDDawg Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 What's in it for him? Move his baby and wife back to LA to be the backup for a few months with the knowledge that he'll have to move to another team next summer? Doubt he does this. What's in it for the Canucks? They lose their starting goalie for what...a third round pick? In a season they state that the objective is to make the playoffs. Doubt they do this.

Wilbur Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 As said before, highly doubt the Canucks trade their "#1 goalie" at the beginning of the season. Also highly doubt the Canucks take on a bad contract, Aquilini is willing to spend, but only to make the team more competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeze, I didn't know their prospect pool was that bad. Kempe is good but not exceptional IMO. I just happen to like him from his WJH days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Blight Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 They will just go with Zatkoff and Budaj until they can assess what they can do. If they don't give them the goaltending they're looking for they might trade for a much more cap friendly goalie than Miller. They likely do nothing unless Quick is out 6 weeks or more.

They'll test out Zatkoff for a few games, and they also have Budaj and Campbell (the former Stars top prospect) that will be good enough stop gaps. He's listed week to week, so I'd expect a little longer, but it's not long enough to have them panic and add a $6M, 36 year old goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he goes on LT (which he could if it is the same injury as price) none of those goalies is enough to get them to the playoffs. This is a contender, they would look for proven stability.

cripplereh Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 do not think either GM would want a trade like this,as Benning would want to much and the Kings will not play ball!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, yeah, they'll use what they have before they rush to trade for a $6m, 36 year old goalie over an injury that hasn't yet proven to be serious. And maybe one turns out to be good enough for the time they need to cover for. I thought I made sense in the first post. Let's not rush to a proposal until there's actually reason to, shall we? If you want to speculate, at least speculate on who they'd go after and what the return would be, rather than just saying, "we can throw them an anchor in Miller, yeah?" I mean, they have $2M in cap space - who are we getting back other than something we actually want to make that happen (even with 50% retained)?

Nuxfanabroad Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 If we're just treading water(& Miller's playin fairly well), then maybe from Jan onwards, he might move on? Nice run on a new team, & he could nab another 1 or 2 yr deal. Get a sense the league will be much more offensive this yr - exp'd tenders may be higher in demand, as a consequence. If that market picks up, we're well-placed for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realtor Rod Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Sounds like Quick is out 3 to 4 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragyn Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Quick out 3-4 months, Tanner Pearson FOR Miller, 3 Mil retained, Columbus's 2nd 2018. The young left winger that could really help, Miller says yes for chance at Stanley & wife works there, L.A. also needs cap space for Toffoli for next year. Flame away.
