  1. I think the beauty of the situation is that Horvat or Boeser may bring the same back to a cup contender. Personally I’d rather keep our better asset in Miller. (Demko not include
  2. I’d say , see what you can bring in by trading other lower assets around him. He will still be worth the Fantasy treasure chest at the end of next season. Miller is one to build our strengths around.. it’s real, and it exists. He leads far more with example than anyone on the team,. That alone is hard to find.
  3. That core has not been getting any examples of how to play the game from neither Horvat, who is Captain, or Boeser either. Neither of them play that in your face tenacity that Miller does. That are vets now,. And I still don’t see their game rubbing off on EP, Podz, Hogz LikeMiller has been to them and others. Its not about age, it’s about how you play, and continue to play. go ahead write him off to your fantasy deals. id rather keep him.
  4. We haven’t had a true leader like him for years,. He thrives on that. He moves, that to me leaves and it never returns. He is a huge on ice example for all of our young core and assets to play with. . . That will be lost as well.
  5. And I’ve said if it happens that a term deal, where he is totally tradeable after 3 seasons. if we aren’t in cup contention by then, he will not want to be here after 3 years.. it’s his opt out with money to go to a contender, and ours .
  6. “young core's contention window,” More fantasy thoughts like the declining one,.
  7. “The concern is having a mid-30's, declining, $8m+ anchor contract, right in the meat of the young core's prime” that’s basically saying he is washed up to us. Well,. We can both “suppose” aGent..
  8. Boeser and Miller money keeps Miller. Money left over and Hamonic traded or going LTI will keep money for a good RHD, one that may come by trading Boeser. Boeser 5.8 and Hamonic 3.0 = 8.8 Miller = 5.25 add 2.75 from Bb Th to Miller for 8m offer 6.1m remaining to search or sign an RHD in return of Trade. other D men will come off roster next season. the money will be there for a 7-8m RHD. Perhaps Boeser can help move Klingberg out of Dallas. Im not proposing this. But I see moving Boeser or Horvat before Miller.. if it wasn’t for him these passed couple of seasons I would’ve watched less Hockey . Miller keeps an intensity that neither Boeser or Horvat can or know how to tap into. some say “emotional” ?! Its a competitive edge that creates winners around you. im tired of stick man choir boy hockey in this town.. posters here would rather sacrifice the one heart that beats wildly to win every night in Miller. that’s going back to mediocrity, and being on the losing side of 1 goal games and crappy defensive hockey.
  9. Others here are saying he’s washed up next year because he’s approaching 30 !?! Why would anyone want to trade arguably besides Demko ,. The best player on their team, one that has brought more grit to this club that we haven’t seen for almost 10 years.. and gives us a ppg? For the fantasy of draft picks ! Lol that’s why. Trade the lesser assets.. Bo and Brock included. The veteran leadership Miller brought to this club was never here before with any of our “leadership groups” after the Sedins. not one play shines that bright. Finally We have an offensive player to build a winning club around, a leader and mentor that neither Horvat or Boeser seem to be, .. and posters here want to move him for fantasy. Might as well change the team logo to a Dog chasing its tail.
  10. Id do Boeser to Florida for that. But why would the best team in the league tweak a good thing at this time of year.. those players are their future,. And worthy to experience playoff contention this year.
  11. Isn’t that how Pittsburgh did it ,. JR there. i would hedge to say he sees what Miller brings over Boeser, or Horvat, or presently EP.
  12. Is every team afraid of crossing the 30’s barrier ? are we one of those now?
  13. I think the planets align in 2 weeks ,. The 666th verse in the book of “Satanic Verses” might help with you and @aGENT’s thoughts Florida isn’t going to tweak, but they might twerk at you !
  14. Fine , illl change my stance on the reduced deal.. he is worth more than What Boeser is paid right now, and easily as much as the 8-9 that some will say EP40 should get. Trading Miller is going from reality into Fantasy.. you and others and me, have no idea what we would get back.
  15. That was our Dump into Arizona , we got Garland and OEL. Trading Miller is like giving away Shane Doan.. there aren’t many like him.
  16. Cash in Miller for what though.. ? Thats where this turns to fantasy,. Keeping Miller is not Fantasy. Talk of getting picks and prospects or unknown stereotypes without names ,. That’s thin air.
  17. So. Miller IS an outlier, walks like a duck , talks like a duck, must be . This is about acquiring 2 key pieces to this team,. To pursue Stanley cup in the next 3 seasons. Why are we so in love with draft picks? thought we just did a rebuild? Boeser could be a bomb next year, lucky to get it close to back on track this year. are we expecting someone else to just show up with the same tenacity JT has? .. and the argument about wanting or not wanting to be here,. That applies for any one we try to obtain . a bird in the hand, Miller.. is 3 in the bush,. and those are all fictional tweety birds. Miller is not LE , Sutter, or anyone else like that.
  18. Trading Boeser fits your criteria perfectly . You’d rather keep Boeser over Miller for 1or 2m extra?
