(Rumour) 4 teams interested in J.T. Miller
RUPERTKBD replied to combover's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Looking at the Penguins' Cap situation, there aren't many options for the Canucks to take on a contract....Dumoulin looks like the obvious choice, but going by TOI, he appears to be their #4.... Jan Rutta might be a possibility. He's older at 32, but he's a RHD with another 2 years at a modest 2.75 mil.... -

As I've already mentioned, it makes no sense for the pens to trade a guy like Guentzel. If they are trading for Miller, it's because they feel they can take another run at the Cup while Sid, Geno and Letang are still elite players. That means they hang on to a guy like JG. The trick is to clear Cap space for now, so they can take on a contract like Millsy's, but they won't move an integral part of the team to do it. They have about 13 million coming off the books next year and more the year after that. (although one assumes that they'll want to re-sign Guentzel and Sid) That being said, they're very much in "win now" mode, because that team is going to be a dumpster fire in a few years when the core ages out. they could very much be in a place where they take on Miller's contract and deal with the fallout later. There's also the fact that Pittsburgh is home for JT.... -

He threw in the win over Detroit. He hit triple figures in striking out one of the Tigers, but he was having a bit of trouble finding the strike zone. Still, you can be a bit wild when you throw 100..... -
[Official] Toronto Blue Jays Major League Baseball thread
RUPERTKBD replied to The Stork's topic in Off-Topic General
I watched him on Blue Jays in 30 last night and he looked good. He was throwing against Judge or Trout, but the 4 pitches they showed, were three high 90s fastballs and an 86 MpH slider. You can get a lot of guys out with that kind of mix... Who knows? We might even have another Alek Manoah on our hands..... -
The thing that makes me wonder about Petterson is that looking at Pittsburgh's stats, he seems to be pretty high up on the depth chart. If the Pens are buyers, it's because they're taking another shot while they've still got Sid, Geno and Letang playing at a high level....With that in mind, I don't see them weakening their defense to add another scorer... That says to me that it would have to be picks/prospects and the Canucks would have to retain salary.....

it doesn't have to be "hate". He's a valuable piece, but he's also going on 30. Some folks would like to see a proper rebuild, after several attempts by the franchise at a retool. That being the case, Miller's value becomes that of a trade chip. -

I had suggested Miller to Carolina in a different thread. I think the 'Canes will look at what the other contending Eastern teams are doing and decide they better make some kind of deal. -

I was looking at the 'Canes as a possibility. they're the one contender that could fit him under the Cap. meanwhile, all the teams around them in the standings are loading up. I almost hope the Rags swing a deal for Kane, just so Carolina feels like they have to make a move....
