An average at best middle six center and two question marks for a 99 point top 10 scoring forward. At this point I’m keeping Miller if we aren’t getting what he’s worth. Then you're keeping Miller. Waste of a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that the Isles already had the Romanov deal in place before the draft makes me wonder if he was gonna be part of the deal for Miller. Can’t imagine we wouldn’t be asking for a young D man back in a deal and surely the Isles don’t wanna trade Dobson. The deal was rumoured to fall apart because Allvin asked for another piece last minute. Maybe the deal centered around Romanov? Something around Romanov, Wahlstrom, and Raty? Not sure if Romanov can play right side but maybe someone can switch sides? Will be interesting to see if it’s revisited either way. 11 minutes ago, combover said: Need a poll - On what cdc page will this thread be when miller is signed or traded My guess page 1127 Maybe something here was posted that they wanted Rathbone and we didn't want to add him,at this point we Ay never know but I do want to know.The NYR deal that we did not take looks really good right noy guess was page 1251. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bad deal just makes the Benning mess bigger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alflives Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) What about Miller + Garland for Pulock + Pageau? And Myers (1 mil retained) for Adam Larsson? Wake up JR and get ‘er done! Edited July 24, 2022 by Alflives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Just now, Alflives said: What about Miller + Garland for Pulock + Pageau? What is your obsession with both acquiring Pageau and dumping Garland? Garland is younger, cheaper, and better than Pageau. You also overrate Pulock. At 6 million signed long term it’s just gonna be another anchor contract we need to dump in a few years. Overall horrible trade. Your proposal privileges are hereby revoked! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamoriello has stated that his off-season priority was to improve their defence - he talked of trying to make a hockey trade using a F to acquire a D. There probably was no one willing to move a top-4 D for the Fs they had available so he used the pick to get Romanov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wants to acquire Miller its gonna cost a young D man. He can go after Klingberg if he wants another D. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not making a trade to recoup at least some kind of assets would make them exactly like Benning though. People say Johnny is a cautionary tale but we already experienced the cautionary tale that was Tanev/Marky/Toffoli and it didn't help this club whatsoever. I'm NOT saying deal for the sake of a deal, but I do believe there is a lot of time to resolve the Miller situation. Whether it's 6 days, 6 weeks or 6 months there's no hurry at this point. What we've seen over the past several weeks is that anything can happen and the media often has no idea what's actually happening behind closed doors despite their 'insider' claims. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re not gonna telegraph all their moves through media interviews. They wanted major shakeups. You think acquiring Romanov is gonna solve their problems? Wouldnt be surprised if that move was just a precursor to several bigger moves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt be surprised if that move was just a precursor to several bigger moves. Can't score if they are stuck in their own zone. Lamoriello thinks Romanov has the upside to help them - he gave 13th overall to acquire him. They see him as a long term fit with Dobson. Wouldn't be all that surprised if they come back with the same group - they should have a healthy D-corps, a more normal schedule and a new coach. Lamoriello talked of trying to make a hockey trade up front - Beauvillier and Bailey believed to be the ones who were available in a trade. Others have trade clauses and Barzal is obviously untouchable. Not easy to move cap. Edited July 24, 2022 by mll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Well with the cap freeze teams are going to find it hard to upgrade any part of Thier team.I think the Nhl should look and see at this will hurt the fan base majorly.Nut will help teams that are rebuilding faster.
