I think people are sleeping on how good a fit JT Miller will be with Horvat and Pearson.  I also think tat the reaction from some is a little over the top.  If Miller helps us get in the playoffs next year, I'm happy to give up a pick that is later than 16.  He is a quality 2nd line winger with good size and grit.  If we give up a pick in the 20-30 range 2 years from now to get him, I'm fie with that.

OR we make the playoffs, TB makes a trade before the draft for a lottery ticket (which we could have also done) and they win the lottery and draft first overall....the cost seems too high for what essentially is a cap dump for TB so they have the space for Point and Kucherov contract etc...I honestly thought he mis-spoke and we got their first.   Very mixed messages again...are we back to re-tooling already?

He was a player I was targeting for the Canucks if he was available at the time of our pick.

Yeah. 

Carolina is looking like the definition of 'new NHL'...

I said a few weeks ago I would be content if we came away with one of Hoglander, Dorofeyev, Puistola, or N. Robertson.

 

And...we did! Can't complain.

Idk why people are complaining about the jt miller trade. 

 

Miller is a 40-50 point getter who gets about 100+ hits a year while maintaining a 50% face off win average for his whole career. He is the perfect winger for horvat which is something we desperately needed. Now we can actually have a top offensive line with Petey and boeser while having a top shot down line.... you know like most other successful teams. That 1st round pick we are giving up has more of a chance being an emerson etem than it does being a boeser. I mean if we can get a player like panarin for the top line our top 6 looks sexy. How do you get a top guy like panarin? Show them you are trying to win. 

 

Panarin pettersson boeser 

Miller horvat virtanen.

 

Not a bad top 6
