brian42 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 To Kings: Miller (50% retained) to canucks: Peter Budaj 2017 2'nd Rd pick Budaj is a UFA but fills miller's spot for this year and he could be resigned for much cheaper than Miller's 6 million until Demko is ready. with the kings possibly missing the playoffs I think this is the best pick the canucks could get considering the lack of a goaltending trade market. i would not think the kings would want to do this trade because of their position in the standings and the fact Budaj has played well for the most part but according to HNIC (kypreos) they are interested in Miller.

numb3r 16 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Budaj had been lights out in the net for LA this year, better than quick. Don't see them giving him up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwijibo Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Yeah. This makes absolutely zero sense for the Kings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian42 Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 I don't disagree but this proposal is based on the reported interest the kings have in Miller would be a great trade for vancouver. If I was JB I'd even take a 3'rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Regardless of Quick returning, LA is still apparently interested in Miller, and LA is obviously on Miller's list. Austin Wagner in return please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller isn't going anywhere. The offers will be a pittance compared to his value. JB won't be giving up Miller for a lowball offer which I believe is all he will receive. I'd hang on to Miller and try to re sign him unless we are getting a head turning deal in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever we can get is fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes absolutely zero sense for the Kings. Yup to all of these. They won't be adding an expensive third or even backup, and even if they did, Budaj was leading the league in shutouts. Just because Kyprios said it doesn't mean they'll give us much of worth for him. I'd be very surprised if this has any real legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised ANA didn't offer that conditional 1st for Miller instead of Eaves.... but I'm no `GM After losing to the Kings I would think ANA is looking harder at Miller.

I'd far prefer to lose 3-2 than 6-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian42 Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 Turns out this proposal wasn't so off considering the kings did trade for a goalie and Budaj did go the other way. I consider this a failure for the canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider this a failure for the canucks. If Tampa had gotten a 2nd back, I might agree with you, but considering they took an extra contract, retained salary and only upgraded a 7th into a 5th, there isn't a lot of incentive for us to make a deal like that. We expect to be active among the NCAA free agents and might have to take a contract of two to make other deals work, I'd rather have the 4 free contract spots than a C prospect and a late round pick upgrade.

brian42 Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 Cernak is only 19 and he was a 2'nd round pick. Retaining salary On a ufa is not a big deal for the selling team. Still saves the team some money and cap space which won't be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
