[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
Gawdzukes replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I agree these guys are professionals and would probably deal with it far better than us fans. What I do think is that if we keep Miller it will also lose a year of the young core working through what they need to do to win. While Miller is here he will be the play driver and the offence will run through him. If we're going to trade him hopefully it will be done earlier than the TDL so that transition starts taking place as soon as possible. Both in regards to working new players in but also seeing the result of no Miller and what areas remain to be addressed. I suppose it's also the sooner the young core starts taking responsibility. -

Is that anything like drywalling, I do a pretty mean skim coat? -

New Jersey has played this perfectly. I'm a little jealous. -
[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
Gawdzukes replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I love this answer. Great post. Couldn't have said it better myself. We've been doing dumb things for years like not trading expiring players for assets, signing players for too much for too long while not contending, and trading away picks needlessly. We get a whole new management team and lease on the future and people just want to blow it all over again. It's mind boggling really. Or even the year after that. Hmmm, maybe. For me it's quite a bit more than nothing though which is what we're going end up with if we keep dicking around. -

shhh, don't speak too loudly we all heard the reports that Poile doesn't want to win for about 6-10 years. He's playing the slow silent game. -
[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks

Maybe, depends what the other pieces are. It's better than nothing though. I would want Prokop though before Fabbro. Yeah and then wait years for him to develop. I thought you didn't want to do that though? Bottom line he's a huge RD that plays a solid D game. Why wouldn't we take that now plus a pick next year? I'm not really following that logic ... I guess we could just draft Miller next year too. -

Yeah I like it but not sure they give up two D although Prokop is not a Schnieder level prospect as his offence is suspect moving forward. 10 goals though of his 33 points indicates he has a good shot. Even if he doesn't provide that Ekblad type having a solid 6'5 RD is gold even if he ends up on the third line to hold the fort. I don't think Hughes needs an offensive guy at all anyway. Just look how he works with Schenn. Carrier had a very good season. 100% better partner for OEL as compared to Myers imo. Mobility and quick thinking is what OEL needs in a partner. I would take the package you suggested as Trenin also had a nice year and seemed to stabilize himself as an NHL regular at 25. Decent size too although I'm unsure if he played much Center or if he was used on the wing predominantly. Unlike most I'm also pretty keen on getting some picks into the system. And by picks I pretty much mean first and second rounders. This could end up being a 10 - 15 overall. A lot of people are underwhelmed at picks even criticizing late firsts but in reality this is where most NHL'ers come from. Even if we can hit on one or two of these in the next couple of years it can be huge for the franchise. Getting a top notch youngster for zero additional assets who is cost controlled allows you to spend that extra money on a UFA or spend some assets on a trade for RFA, all while giving you the top choices in those areas. -

Trying hard not to trade Miller are we? This has been my RD target ever since @stawns mentioned him last trade deadline. It would be awesome to add this 6'5 220lb rd to the prospect pool. Thank Gawd it's currently empty as this big lad may cause an overflow when he jumps in. -

Rumor has it JR is actually a frequent poster here and he's just been sitting on a deal because he likes reading all of the action during his morning coffee. I'll give you one clue. It's not SilentSam. But yes, he's given me his word on a dm. Miller is as good as gone once we reach 1000. All good thing must come to an end he said. -

He looks super focused. Great to see Myers out training so early and working on foot speed. Go Nucks. -

Lazar is going to be good I think. Big Mac is terrible at hockey though and can't play with teammates at all. Fighting is great but you gotta fit in hockey wise too. Gadjovich is even worse though you are correct. I would rather give that Dakota Joshua we signed a chance. He's 6"3 206 and reportedly plays a heavy game. -

I'm pretty curious to see what happens with Dickie. I really tried to like him. He actually got a lot of point blank scoring in the second half. Some better finishing and maybe he would have been more likable... mmm tolerable? Other than that maybe ride him out on the 3rd/fourth line for two years. Or do we throw him in the minors? -

I think Rogriguez is the better player for our needs. I'd be stocked to get him. Just gotta trade that JT fella first. -
