I think it's not a huge deal.  Kids a solid player

It ain't a huge deal if we don't have Hughes and Rathbone already. That is why people are not too ethusiastic with Lundqvist as the D return.

Are you a height supremicist?

No but when it comes to professional sport at the highest level height matters.

How many pro basketball player do you see that are under 6 foot. How many gymnast or figure skaters olympic medalist that are above 6'2?

Sorry, if you haven't watched The League, the height supremacist joke probably didn't make sense.

 

I'm not convinced they won't move rathbone at some point.  Again though, not like NL or JR are "small".......190+ isn't bad, at all

I think Kravstov will be an awesome player.  The Rangers fans aren't expecting him to come back.  Sounds like he went off in a huff because the team wanted him to play on their farm team.  So, take it for what it is...

POSKOLZIN

KRAVTSOV

TRYAMKIN

If the Rangers or any other team want Miller they need to offer up their best RD prospect. If they don’t want to then they can consider Boeser or Garland. You don’t get a top line player for your 2nd tier prospects even if you package a few of them together (quality is greater than quantity) end of story.

This exactly. Either give up schneider or miss out on miller is how I see it. There should be at least one piece coming back who is a bonafide blue chip can’t miss prospect/player in any deal for miller. This team desperately needs a young stud defence man who has norris potential.

Well that's not likely to be Schneider

Norris potential dman would be awesome but I'd be happy with someone at Brent Seabrook level. We just need someone who can munch as many minutes along with Hughes.

 

I'd be happy with Schneider + 1st + Kravtsov. Rangers hardly give up a significant part of their roster while we get our RD and Kravtsov coming over at the end of the KHL season and becoming an impact player.

Yep. that's how I see it as well. 

 

If you want our best player, you gotta part with a very good roster player as well. 

 

Kravstov isn't even on the roster. Lundqvist isn't either. Chytil - NO.

I really feel if Schneider isn't included there is no deal to be had. They have Trouba, Fox. They're beefed up on the right side for the next 4-6 seasons. 

Exactly. 

 

JR can wait, while other offers are coming in. The Canucks in this scenario have all the advantage. 

 

If a deal is to be had, I get the sense it'll go down to the wire between the Canucks and Rangers. Just like '94.

I'm not arguing hes the guy theyre going for, but if he truly is untouchable, there's still a pretty good match for NY, even if it's just used as leverage against other teams.

What's wrong with Chytil, still young and he's got a lot of tools in his toolbox.  He's got the potential to be a very solid two way C.

It would be epic if we meet them in the finals after Miller trade goes through. Canucks get Kravtsov + Schneider + 1st. Then Kravtsov comes over after the KHL season, goes full Pavel Bure in 94. And then, with vengeance on his mind, scores the GWG in game 7 against the Rangers to clinch first SC in Canucks history.

Is Miller overvalued?  He's never scored 30 goals in his career. Or 29...or 28...

He scored 27 in a 69 game season... that would be on pace for 32 in 82

 

This season he has scored 17 in 47... that would be on pace for 30 in 82.

He’s 20 years old....what exactly makes him less likely than any other 1st rd pick?

Really, manyNorris winners aren't 1st rounders anyway.  I think Schneider is going to be an excellent dman, but he's not at that level, imo.  I don't think he has the offensive upside needed to be considered a potential Norris candidate.
