  1. With UFAs demanding some pretty darn hefty price tags, Im beginning to wonder if there might be interest from certain contending teams to acquire Miller as a 1 year rental (perhaps conditions if he re-signs). A 1st and a good young player seems fair no? Gotta hope NYR strikes out tomorrow.
  2. And here I was hoping Canucks might target him (assuming there was cap space to do it) in the 3 maybe 4 year, 4 mill range lmao.
  3. Ya I like Wood when he can stay healthy. He’s a piece I wanted VAN to consider with NJ
  4. Im hoping he’s a late bloomer. Some people just need more time
  5. Jurmo has been getting some praise which is cool.
  6. If that means taking on a huge amount of potential negatives, then no.
  7. So I get this could be a false rumour, but sometimes Im surprised just how much money players demand. I mean, you know you are putting an extreme amount of pressure not only on yourself, but also on your team’s cap situation/competitive ability. Is life truly that much more better? Maybe it’s just business-I dunno. If he can severely hamper another team so be it- GCG!
  8. IMO, if mgmt are being ultra patient / waiting for the right deal to come along for Miller-its gotta be for a dman. Schenn and Myers will be gone in the short term-major hole on the right side there without them. They need a long term RH shot-maybe that’s what they are targeting in a trade
  9. yee haw I always enjoy clips from this camp. Hopefully we get some interviews from the development staff over the course of camp as well
  10. Really hope holding out here doesn’t backfire. Teams might circle back after free agency but stubbornness can go both ways….
  11. dangit, why cant a team just step up and make an acceptable offer
  12. Id like to see OTT offer sheet M Tkachuk. Theyve got the draft picks. Brady’s there. That would definitely invigorate their fan base
  13. nicely done! hope we see a highly motivated and improved Brock
  14. What is JTs intent to re-sign with any team this summer? What can you get for a 1 year rental?
  15. Ooo tough call. IF you really believe in Lysell then BOS. BUT there might be a fantastic player on the board at #12 as well. Carlo/Peeke would both be excellent adds. BOS for shorter term gain. CBJ for longer term gain.
  16. Torts may not be for everybody but he has a philosophy. if you listen to enough player interviews-they all respect him. some deeply respect him. the more you learn the more you understand his approach. he genuinely wants to win and sometimes that requires uncomfortable situations and conflict. ive been doing a lot of research on him lately and I think i better understand him as a coach and a person which by all accounts he is very genuine. fans on the outside think hes being heavy handed or scapegoating but he might also just be calling things for what they are. Torts is an excellent fit for Philly. Blue collar hardworking town and thats what the Flyers used to represent. It may take awhile but I like the idea of building a new culture for that team with him at the helm.
  17. Without a crystal ball, imo it’s a big risk to re-sign Miller. And if reports/rumours are true, VAN/Miller are too far apart to get a deal done that will work in VANs favour. So, its a good opportunity to try and acquire some key young talent. BUT, listening to Spitting Chicklets interviews w/ Crosby, McKinnon etc-guys like Miller dont grow on trees. He is the leader no doubt about it. Horvat is a great captain, but Miller is a guy that gets his team fired up. Trading him will leave a big void because he talks the talk and backs it up with his play. I do think Petey, Hughes, Demko, are ultra competitive and really good players, but the personality and competitiveness of Miller is something else. He can get guys motivated in those crucial moments. Im really curious how the team can address that/not an easy thing to replace. Locker room dynamics often fly under the radar but they are a big component of how a team performs.
