He will go pro by fall. If he turns pro this spring, he can burn a full year off his ELC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimberWolf Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Miller is not likely to sign as a back up or shared. He's signing as a starter for starter money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning has been quoted saying he's going to get him signed This off-season. Craig Button has said he's NHL ready and will make the jump. This whole FA walking thing is much less common then the player signing with his drafting team. Quit making mountains out of molehill. OK thank you!! That's all I need man... some level of comfort so I can start a Boeser fan club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to know what they have in Markstrom. It's time to move on from old vets, no matter how talented. If Miller is signed to anything more than $4M, and Willie is still the coach, Markstrom is as good as traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 On Miller..I'd spec a gap(Eastern team) of about a mill. So if another team would spend 5 mill..he'd prob stay here for 4 mill(which should be OUR max). So if Millsy can land 5.5, or 6 elsewhere, we should just kiss, & say Good bye(as that ol' tune went) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you but Benning is fairly simple to predict and if Willie is around then you know who is starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller is a great goalie. There is no doubting that fact. Once again, the goalie who gets the starter's workload usually plays better because they have had the chance to play and develop consistency. Based on what? well let's just look at some recent goalie history on this team then schneids clearly demonstrated he was an upcoming #1 starting goalie when luongo was on the team he forced his way into the line up, he was not given games to show he was a #1, he made it obvious markstrom simply has not been able to do that he has too many poor starts you do not give a goalie games to prove he is a #1.. he uses the game starts he is given to show you if he cannot do that then he is showing you he is not capable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think...hope so. If the youth movement is underway for the forwards and defense, it should then happen for the goaltending in kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schneider had the opportunity because the starter Luongo faltered. He didn't force his way. The coach (AV) chose to go with him because of Luongo's flaky play. And Schneider, while a really good goaltender has had some horrible games this season, so by your rationale, is he still a starter? Markstrom has had some poor games, but has also had some stellar games as well, and if you look at the defense in front of both during their wins/losses, this is also telling.
