  1. If he gets a 1 mil raise it's well deserved. I just don't think he should get anything more than that with us.
  2. Anything less than his qualifying offer. Love his contract now.
  3. Boeser is one of those guys who'll get a goal out of nowhere. He's very good at finding open space and wristing it. People still say his shot isn't the same as it was his rookie year, but I think he rediscovered it last season. He used to feast on the power play, but he's turned into a solid 5 on 5 player. I'd take nothing less than Zacha + the Devils' 2022 1st rounder for Boeser; and if he takes a hometown discount, I might want to just sign him instead.
  4. Just look at Forsberg after he gained some muscle. Turned from almost an afterthought in the Lindros trade to one of the most dominant players we've ever seen. Pettersson at least tries to be physical and screen the goalie. He would be so much better at that if he had some size. Maybe part of his frustration is that he hasn't been healthy much of the offseason. But I hope it's a step he takes.
  5. I think if he gains some strength and weight without losing his soft hands, he could be a very dangerous player.
  6. That was an ugly win, but I wouldn't say we didn't deserve it. We should have put it away in regulation. Miller has half our overtime game winners now... maybe we shouldn't trade him. I thought Pettersson looked really good. Had some insane dangles.
  7. Dallas and Edmonton are the only teams in the wild card race that have done well in their past 10. We've been okay considering that we had most of our stars out with Covid/injury. Those points from overtime losses could be huge. Every point counts.
  8. I'm okay with holding onto our best players/trade chips until it's clear we're out of the playoffs. If we don't trade Miller, I think there's a good chance we sneak in.
  9. I'm not really interested in a trade with the Rangers if one of Laffy, Schneider, or Kakko aren't available. Would prefer K'Andre Miller over Lundkvist too. We have enough small defensemen.
  10. There's almost no way I'd trade Boeser for Zacha, but the Devils' 1st is very valuable.
  11. I would like for Halak to waive his NMC for a trade; but if he doesn't, we just have to respect that. He's a good backup.
  12. If they offer us that, they can go f#@% themselves.
  13. This version of Miller is not a middle 6C. He was only a 3rd line C on historically stacked Lightning team, and he's way better now than he was then. Miller would command a lot in a trade--probably not Lafreniere, Schneider, and a 1st, but a lot. I would only trade him if it was an overpayment coming our way.
  14. Yeah, the last thing we want to do is be in a hurry to trade Miller. If we keep him, I think we could make the playoffs as well. Unless someone overpays, like the Rangers with Lafreniere +, we should keep Miller.
  15. I love the look of our 4th line. Would like to keep Motte, unless someone overpays for him.
  16. Although I'm getting much more optimistic about getting a good enough offer for Miller that I'd actually consider it, I think Lafreniere is dreaming...
  17. Would love to get Zacha, but I wouldn't trade Garland for him straight up. Garland is locked up already--which gives him value--and is a more consistent performer. Zacha has an amazing shot, and can be a net presence, but there are questions around his effort. That being said, I think Boudreau could unlock some of his potential.
  18. I personally don't like the idea of trading Miller. He's our best forward right now. Although I understand it may be a good idea to trade him in the long run. It's hard to not get partial to your players. I'm just glad I'm not making the decisions.
  19. I think we might improve next year (or stay about the same, at worst). Don't see us tanking for Bedard.
