Junkyard Dog Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Back to back with Stars/Sens, Wild, Flames, Kraken, finally a back to back with LA/Oilers. Flames, Oilers and Wild games all away. Those games will be tough. Wild vying for home-ice advantage with the Blues as are the Oilers with the 3rd pacific team. Only really gimme game is the Kraken. Maybe Sens too but that's a 2nd half of a back to back and Sens sometimes come out to play. Not an easy road ahead but not terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I think LA or Nashville are the targets now. LA has such an easy schedule, they could easily end up with 98. Some luck for us, a couple upsets, maybe end with 94 or 96. We would likely have the tiebreaker if we end up tied. Nashville has a very tough schedule, they might lose the next six straight (playing Stl, Min, Cgy x2, Col, TB) before winning the final game against AZ. If they get lucky to win one of their next six, they end up at 95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a 70 point player that plays finesse game and is soft, then they'd not be worth 8 mil. Bigger concern is that he may drop off to being more of a 50-60 point guy as early as in 2, 3 years without playing physically. Unlikely but it's possible. I would be concern in years 4, 5 and 6 of contract paying a playing 8 million and producing under 45 point in a cap league.. I would rather get a package back for Miller 30 next summer... Young RD man under 24, forward that can play in top 9 along with draft pick 1st or 2nd rounder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What team that wants Miller is giving up their 18 to 23 year old presumably top 4 RHD? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't checked, but I'm pretty sure it's happened. If they move him in the off season, they take the best possible deal they can, regardless of position. They'll have time to make subsequent moves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked what team he can think of right now that wants Miller, but would also be willing to give up a presumably top 4 RHD that is 18 to 23 years old. Give me some examples so we aren't just talking about some fantasy trade. His package was clearly centered around the RHD being the main piece coming back.

Again, once it's in the off season they can make the best deal they can get and then use that asset (or others) to balance the roster. They don't need to narrow it to teams with positional players they need.......that can be addressed later in the off season. Pretty much every team that's a contender or on the brink of being a contender would be interested in Miller as a $5.25m rental for a year. I doubt they'd have much issue finding a dance partner 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going after a 10 million dollar player in Eichel, then missing the playoffs their owner would be furious. They will get a pass this year if they miss. All season long they've been missing one or two of their best players... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just don't understand or want to deal with any adversity so rather than fight through and figure it out they'll just slap on a band-aid and hope for the best.

I doubt they'd have much issue finding a dance partner This notion that hockey teams don't, can't, and won't make moves in order to pursue a SC is utterly ridiculous. Also ridiculous that teams wouldn't be looking to add the best player available on the market. These players are limited and in high demand. Every single years teams make surprising moves. After all it's a game with new teams emerging and struggling every year. What a ludicrous concept. Is it a challenge, of course, the same as it is every year but to just assume no hockey teams want good players is getting pretty tired and lame. It almost seems like some people want to get a bad return just so they can be right. Edited April 17, 2022 by Gawdzukes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was Leafs Sens last night where they suggested it's longer than that. Did anyone else get that info anywhere? I think it's got to be a broken bone (fib) doesn't it? Horvat wouldn't declare he'll be missing a must win playoff entry game two weeks in advance with a bone bruise would he? I seem to remember Terrell Owens playing in the Super bowl after 3 weeks or less I think. Edited April 17, 2022 by Gawdzukes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a graphic during hockey night last night that said horvat was expected to be out longer than 2 weeks. would have been during an intermission in the montreal washington game. friedman was on the screen at the time but my tv was on mute. that said, the initial statement from the team was that he'd be re-evaluated in 2 weeks, which to me sort of implies they're expecting it to take longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
