Dragyn Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Ryan Miller, 5 Mil retained For San Jose's 1st 2017. If not asking for enough for us. Add Canucks 2nd & 7th 2018 for San Jose's 1st 2018. I'm pretty sure Miller won't be in our plans after this year, so we move it up a year and get good pick or 2. We save 1 mil on the salary cap for further moves & get to have a look at Backman, Garteig & Demko. Backman is our expansion draft offering, might play good enough to save us a D man or forward next year in the expansion draft. Miller says yes for a chance at the Stanley cup, gets to play in California & might even get signed as a back up after contract expires. San Jose's window is now, They get an experienced goalie to help Martin Jones out through the year & maybe even playoffs. A Jones injury could be a killer. There other goalies are Mantis Armalis , A Lithuanian prospect with no AHL or NHL games, Aron Dell & Troy Grosenick are both AHL, prospects all 3 undrafted. San Jose has 9 picks in 2017 & only 5 picks in 2018. Fire away!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shazzam Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 only 50% of player's cap can be retained? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toews Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 You can only retain half of that contract which is 3M. No one is going to trade a 1st for Miller. At the deadline if the Canucks are out of it, they will retain salary and trade him for a 3rd ala James Reimer who got a conditional 4th which became a 3rd if the Sharks made the Finals which they did.

Dragyn Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 CBA says only 50% retained. I'm getting summer time bored. World Cup just about here! Would like to get something for Miller though, San Jose does need a backup, maybe trade deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
