  1. Well none of those kids will help a team in the 'win now' mode. If they have patience for these aces they won't trade for Miller. Miller is game ready. We need a trading partner who wants to get past the first round at least. Miller is a proven leader you'll have to pay big for. Again I look at the Copp deal.
  2. Swapping first rounders? With Bo? No way. A swap of firsts with them should be worth Podz and a pick.
  3. I remember holding out hope for Barry Pedersen, and that he would do something worthy of the trade. Still waiting.
  4. Yes, I guess it hinges on how much they are in the 'win now' mode. If they feel they are 3 or 4 years away then yeah I tend to agree.
  5. For me a sweetener would be a NHL roster player like Pearson or Hogs. Or a decent pp prospect like Rathbone. But after Copp's 1st, 2nd and a 5th rounder, I think Miller has more value than that. We could even add IF they get past the first round of the playoffs. Miller is a 100 leader and a pit bull in the locker room.
  6. Miller to New Jersey for 2OA, 2nd round pick in 2023, and Sharangovic. Miller gets them a playoff leader. We select a young RHD that could possibly be ready to step in right away. We get a added 2nd round pick next year. And we get a big young serviceable 20 to 25 goal forward to offset the void left by losing JT. The money we save we can then go after a UFA defenseman like Manson or Zad. And then, we can add to that shopping total, by dealing Dickinson 2.6M$ and maybe even Myers 6M$ for cheaper defenseman like Ruuta or J Johnson. Jack Hughes will have an experienced forward to lean on. And, we won't have to deal with Miller in our own division come playoff time. After what Copp and Tofu got I think this is fair.
  7. Not many games in his rookie year then last year was his 3rd year in the show. He'd been moving up the charts in Wpg. Plus these past seasons have had a ton of covid delays. Covid messed things up for a lot of players, like Sutter. The 82 game count doesn't really apply lately. But I've got his playoff games with Wpg on my pvr. He acquitted himself rather well in their 8 playoff games.
  8. We haven't had full seasons since when , before the bubble. Actually last season was his first season with us. And his migraines happened after he had covid, a known side effect. He may be a long hauler. Before that he had 8 good playoff games for Win and moved up their charts to the top 4 especially for the pk. If he gets healthy he can eat up some more pk minutes or might be ltir. And save us cap. We'll see.
  9. I don't like Huggy changing sides. It might open him up to too many hits. I don't want him to get punchy like Tanev. Who took way to many hits.
  10. Poolman killed penalties. Stay at home type. Good plus minus. Now he maybe ltir if he's still feeling covidy.
  11. Miller for 2OA, 2023 3rd. Sharangovic Big big risk for us but we save in cap buy a ufa forward. And a ufa dman.
  12. I couldn't really see why Coach B kept Hunt in when we had bigger tougher defenseman available. I really think Hunt cost us some points on D. He was easily pushed aside in his own zone. I really thought Burroughs and Juulsen deserved games down the stretch.
  13. I'll take some of that. Especially seeing that one shift where Hunt literally followed that guy skating circles in our zone, that was bizarre. Hit him for goodness sakes.
  14. Liljegren averages about 10 minutes in penalties a year. He'll be a great deterrent for sure Mean stares.
  15. I agree, OEL is a solid PP1 asset. Watching the playoffs and seeing top teams with weak powerplays, there has to be s market to trade him. OEL might even be more valuable to us because of that. And if we could turn Myers contract into a Manson and Zad, or Zad and Ruuta. I think we could be miles ahead defensively.
  16. I know right, If Tofu can get a top 10 1st, a 2nd round pick, a forward and a prospect. And Copp can get a 1st, a 2nd, a 5th round pick and a forward. Miller should get a lot more No Retention.
  17. He always seems ready to take the hit. And he always seems to bounce right back up. But that style just takes its toll on the body. And shot blocking too.
