Kids a solid player It ain't a huge deal if we don't have Hughes and Rathbone already.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

Nancouver Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 2 hours ago, Kage17 said: 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team desperately needs a young stud defence man who has norris potential. 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.

Kravstov isn't even on the roster. Lundqvist isn't either. Chytil - NO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
