Dannydog Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Miller is still on his last contract, no trade clauses . He got paid and what he wanted. No gentleman’s agreement should have been involved there or absolutely needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 To me if they offered Bo 5.5 and Bo wants 8.5 that is not insulting.That is both opening up an offer which both sides say no and you start to negotiate which is how you get a deal done. Guess people think you start high and go lower?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if he somehow doesn’t he should be sitting for his play alone. We have guys like Burroughs that can slot in now. It’s not like it’s gonna hurt our goals against. In fact I would argue we play better defensively with guys like him in our lineup because they play hard nosed simple defense. Something OEL and Myers can’t seem to do. The league has put such an emphasis on “puck moving” D that regular old reliable defenders are almost rare now. I would find it funny if it weren’t such a problem for our team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a business and if they would rather keep others like Bo and there isn't room for Miller guess what he gets traded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he starts showing he’s a 30 goal scorer with upside for more, not to mention a league leader in face-offs, and they barely give him a raise on an initial offer? That’s not respecting the player, sorry. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be some dark years with this group at the helm. They didn't think they were getting the trade value that they thought. But is that a good reason to sign him to a max deal ? I'd say no.

It has worked with our top guys, but not yet with the back end guys like OEL and Myers and our goalies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I fail to see how lighting said fires under Myers and OEL are magically going to make them somewhat closer to competent. Now if by lighting fires you mean trading them off for as many draft picks as you can eat and still have room for a prospect or two, I'm here for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo offered less and he proves them wrong. JR calls out the team, the coach, the effort, threatens trades, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devron Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Interesting that Montreal played today and is travelling as well. No excuses. C’mon Demmer let’s see that great goaltending you’ve got in there somewhere 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any game against Toronto is a must win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
