  1. If only that were true, he’ll report to training camp unless we force him away
  2. Agreed, since we aren’t a contender anytime in the near future, does this really change anything when its likely our best moveable asset? Besides Petey, Bo, Hughes, Boeser what do we have that is more valuable than a 1st? Are we that sold on Miller that he’ll make that much of a difference to trade our 5th best asset? I’m not. I like the player, I’m not sure I like the trade, especially when we need a much better player than Miller on this team to be a contender and just gave up our most moveable asset
  3. We are entitled to our opinions, you can feel we will make the playoffs, we can wish we’ll make the playoffs. However, this team still has way too many holes need filling for that to be anything to bet on.
  4. Do you reasonably think that in the next two years, Miller is the best player we could acquire dangling a trade package involving a 1st round pick? I don’t, this is a move of a desperate GM trying to make the playoffs at all costs to save his job.
  5. No one can make that claim logically, what is the probability of making the playoffs? It can’t be determined. What you can do is look at the roster as it is and see that we are far away from being a contender. Not being a contender is at much more risk of missing the playoffs then making it. You guys just have your homer glasses on. Last year we were 5 wins away from the playoffs and 5 wins away from 2nd last place. Somehow that translates into making the playoffs. The argument is we are improving as we have young kids whom will get better. True, so does every other team. When you have huge holes in your top 6 forwards and top 4 D, its going to be hard to reasonably say this team makes the playoffs
  6. Chasing my tail by saying the 1st rounder we gave up can easily be a lottery pick? No it still easily can, miss the playoffs both years and its a lottery pick. Pretty easily to understand. Maybe that is too difficult for you guys to understand, but it sounds pretty simple to me.
  7. Thats not what I’m saying at all, there is no guarantee we make the playoffs in the next two years. People here are making assumptions and you know what happens when you make assumptions.
  8. That is under the assumption that its a coin flip both years, would you say a team that has missed the playoffs 4 years in a row has a 50% chance of making it? By that logic that every year is a coin flip we’ve defied laws of probability. Keep up with the personal insults though, makes you look like your point is more valid when you sling mud. In reality though, just makes you look like a tool.
  9. We have equal likely as chance to miss the playoffs the next two years as to make it. So yes it easily can be a lottery pick. Some would say we have more of a chance to miss the playoffs then to make it. But keep coming back with personal insults when you can’t understand a very simple point.
  10. Except for the year after which then isn’t lottery protected, you must be blinded by reality. So yet again, the pick can easily be a lottery pick.
  11. Well the position got screwed yesterday when we locked up both 1st round picks in the Miller trade for the next two years
  12. He won’t sign for 2 years, he’ll go somewhere else. Good chance he does anyway unless we overpay.
  13. No guarantees Tryamkin is coming back. Supposedly he didn’t really like the NHL, didn’t understand why when you through a clean hit, you have to fight. I somewhat agree
  14. Eriksson will show up unless we trade him
  15. Which you had to give up a 1st and a 3rd. Hayes cost a 5th to negotiate and sign him to UFA numbers, I would rather have Hayes and keep a 1st rounder. Would I trade Miller for Hayes? No way, but if this type of player was yourvtarget would I have traded for his rights and sign him for a larger contract to keep a 1st round pick, yes I would since the pick can easily be a lottery pick
  16. I agree Myers will be over paid but which UFAs on Day 1 sign for reasonable amounts when every team in the league is bidding on them. If Myers can be signed for Edler type money or an Erickson type contract, I’d be ok with it
