Millers not worth 9.5 million.

 

6 x 8.5 mil is more than fair.

You know, cap certainty is a big deal with these deals.  The sign and trade is vital.  Teams may like Miller but won't pay much for 1 year having no idea what the future holds.  This at least takes a big step to set a market price for Miller with his next contract.  Maybe the Canucks talk with JT about this angle.

Generational talent? Lol.

 

Lets not get carried away…

Am i missing something here ? He’s a pretty good impact player.  But he’s slow footed, got pumped up by Johnny, and has been underwhelming at best in the playoffs when it matters. He’s a great top line winger but generational? Come on.  Calgary smoked them in that trade. You would figure Huber plus a first to make up for the age gap.. then they threw in a top tier d.. maybe ufa status brings down their value..

No or little state taxes in Florida.  In his tax brackets, that's a good chunk of change.  $9.5 million in Florida is south of $10 million here.

Yup, this doesn't drive down Miller's potential ask as much as people would like when taxes are factored in

Miller gonna be hunting for 8.5m at least. I always knew 7.5m was a long shot. Lol. Oh well. This is a lot to pay for someone that hit 100 points once and the guy that helped him do it isn't on this team. But hey, Tkachuk at least brings more than just points. I am a closet Panthers fan, so I am excited to see how he fits.

That's ok, he doesnt need Gadreau to help him get to 100 points when he's playing with Huberde..... Nevermind.

Barkov and Reino though. Oooof. That's gonna be a good team. Of course, the immortal 18 year old himself is there to welcome Tkachuk to the squad.

Their D looks pretty weak though without Weegar. Plus they still need to move out more than 3 million in cap. How good are they going to look once they move out Verghaege, Bennett, or Duclair go be cap compliant? 

 

Random example, but:

 

Huberdeau, Weegar, Bennet, 1st round pick >>>>> Just Tkachuck. 

 

Florida is going to be in the $&!#ter in the near future with Barkov, Tkachuck, and Bobrovsky getting bank, but not having any first round picks in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025

Apparently young Sam Bennet still can’t even complete one wide grip pull up.

Too much emotional baggage from when he entered the prospect combine. 
Heartbreaking.

Truuuuuuuue. But, I am guessing things weren't going well in the Huberdeau contract discussions. Otherwise, why move him? Tkachuk for 8 years >>>>>>>1 year of Huberdeau a glorified 2nd rounder, and Weegar who also might be looking to cash in more than they'd like. Throwing in Bennett seems a little unfair given we have no clue who they'll move out for cap.
