Popular Post cdgraham Posted December 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) In celebration of a win I just want to say something I've been thinking for a while. Miller is a core forward for us and I am seriously doubting if I would prioritize any other forward more so then him, I think he is at very least equal to any of them. Definitely part of the core and identity of this team. I think he's a number one center, is great on faceoffs, pk, PP (Has points on 15 of our 20 pp goals the sharks announcer said) I don't care that he's a few years older then some of the other core guys, he doesn't look like he's slowing down anytime soon. I'd honestly hand a blank cheque to him and sign him for 7 years provided the annual average value doesn't exceed 9.5 million. I wouldnt blink twice about giving him an 8 million 5-7 year contract. (Obviously would prefer less year and money, but I would still do it if it's what it took) He deserves to be our highest paid player, and could set the internal cap limit too. Leading scorer since he got here its not really close. Again this year. I think I'd rather him then the current iteration of John Tavares, and before people say 9.5 is way to high that JT is paid 11 million. Jones 9.5, kaprisov got 9.5, point got that. There are actually lots of players that got that who aren't even remotely as good (skinner) Point is 8 million would actually be a steal at this point. You can also tell its true by the rest of the league salivating at the thought of taking him off our hands. 13th in league scoring now, 1 point behind John Tavares coincidentally as I compared the two. Don't trade Miller, and resign him, summary of post. Edited December 17, 2021 by cdgraham 8 2 1 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdgraham Posted December 17, 2021 Author Share Posted December 17, 2021 Good! Any rumors saying we should are pretty blasphemous at this point lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 The only way we trade him is if he doesn't want to re-sign here or give Bruce Boudreau the Boudreau Bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Honestly I don't think the big 4 are going anywhere. We need to keep all of Petey, Boeser, Bo, and Miller. None of them will make over $9m within the next few years, so it makes sense to build the forwards around them. Petey Miller Bo That's probably one of the best if not the best centre trios in the entire league. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much potential with Hughes on defense and demko in net as well. 6 wins in a row showing us what we have Edited December 17, 2021 by cdgraham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Exactly, been saying that. 7x7.5M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be over paid by a couple million in the last 2 years but will still be useful and a leader. By the time it's not a "good contract" it will be off the books anyways within a couple years if that happens at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I am the party pooper? I would not have spent the draft capital we did to get Miller. Nor OEL / Garland. Nor would I be upset if one or more were moved on. Build for when Petey Hughes & Boeser are in their prime. Demko is already there, but still should be at a peak. That said I cheer for them while they are here. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 There isn’t a single power forward as good as him in the league. Not a single one. And people still want to trade this guy becuz “he’s got value”. I have a feeling we haven’t even seen the best of him yet. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billabong Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 He’s led the team in points ever since he’s gotten here and has picture around the arena ya I’d say he’s been a “core” player for awhile another 3 point night for him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I'm sorry but I've been pettersons biggest supporter and have been following since that record breaking season in the SHL and I knew he was gonna win rookie of the year. But I would not choose him over Miller as it stands. First off would send a terrible message to the team, and I think would cripple the team. Who are we supposed to surround boeser Hughes and pettersson with anyways. Players like Miller. But also Miller is our best forward so getting rid of him makes no sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Case in point the other poster in the thread who literally still isn't happy with giving up a late first for him I mean what? Miller should be as untouchable as anyone not named Demko or Hughes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 For sure. But an 8 year deal is scary. I wonder if Miller would do 5 years 40-45 mil, or about 8.5 mil per year for 5 years. If he wants an 8 year deal, I think we need to stand firm at 7.5 mil. Must re-sign him in the off season if the intention is to keep him. Or we must trade him. Can't let him walk to UFA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they did that, I agree 7.5 would be probably the higher end of what would be comfortable. I'd do 8.5 for 5 years. A lot of people won't know this but I've been watching all the other teams broadcasts this year, and I can tell you the players other teams analyst's are the most impressed by are Miller, Hughes, and Demko. Miller is extremely highly regarded by other teams around the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can keep the average salary for these 4 guys under 8 mil for the next 5 years, we have a chance to build something special here. 32 mil for Miller, Petey, Bo, Boeser vs 40 mil for Matthews, Tavares, Marner, Nylander Extra 8 mil can fit in a couple of strong depth players like, one more Garland level talent. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
