Would be a great signing for Vancouver, Myers would be a great addition and would pair nicely with Edler, which when healthy would put Tanev with Hughes. After that we need to either trade Erickson for Lucic or take on Reaves from Vegas as a cap dump and we are looking a lot better. Adding Pool party in a Lucic deal or other deal would be great. Ehlers in Winnipeg would also be a great addition but would be hard cap wise

Miller is better than Hayes I agree, Winnipeg’s pick is also very likely a worse pick to give up. Our 1st rounder still has a very good potential to be a lottery pick. Time will tell if it was worth the risk. Miller IMO is likely not the best player in the next two years we could use a 1st round pick to acquire, vs Winnipeg who was trying to win a Stanley cup and was one of the front runners to do so.

It is a cap dump for Tampa, they need the cap dump. Lucic is a cap dump for Edmonton too, and I like the player. Marleau was a cap dump and I like the player. Whats your point? Would I let a team fleece me out of a 1st and 3rd when you know they have cap problems? Hell no. Cap dump for Tampa, overpayment for a decent player for Vancouver yup!

If its a late 1st, no biggie, no clear evidence that our pick will be anywhere near there. We aren’t like the Penguins where you can assume a playoff spot. We could easily be a top 10 pick as much as a 20-31 pick. Likely in the 10-16 realm. The bigger problem is, do you really think in the next two years we couldn’t fetch a player better than Miller with a 1st round pick involved. We now have to hold onto a 1st round pick due to the condition in this trade. If you think Miller is the best player that we can acquire in the next two years that needs a 1st rounder to acquire, then go ahead and make the trade. This trade doesn’t seem like very good asset management to me.

Doesn’t Miller have one? Dont get me wrong, I’d rather have Miller over Lucic. Again I like the player, I dont like the trade. We can no longer trade a 1st round pick for two years. Do we really think Miller is the best player in the league that we can acquire using a 1st round pick over the next 2 seasons? I have a hard time believing that.
