Makaramel MacKhiato Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Vegas has to win now, they don't have much coming up the pipe, which means they don't really have to give anyone raises. Lehner may be done for his career which would free up extra $$ and with Stone on LTIR, Miller's contract this season would also let Vegas add a couple more assets to go on a run. They're in win now mode, and Miller would fit perfectly with them. To: Vegas JT Miller To: Vancouver Kaeden Korczak Brett Howden VGK 2023 1st round pick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_314 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 We should ask for either Stephenson (better center replacement) OR Roy (lesser C replacement) + a center prospect, plus Korczak and a 1st. Time to fully charge that divisional tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane will be a player Vegas trade for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacement C, young depth D, cap dump 4th liner and late 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I never thought they'd consider trading Miller, but after seeing that beach interview with Friedman and Pettersson, he kind of commented that Miller can be a hothead, and it really seemed like Pettersson was choosing his words very carefully. Maybe JR would trade Miller and bring in better team mates for Petey and Hughes, etc? I know Tocchet is going to try and rein Miler in and teach him to control his emotions, but I wonder if he or anyone can. I like the trade idea to send him to Vegas, because it makes sense. As for the return, I'd be fine with that too. Canucks would still have to bring in a #2C. Lots of Demko rumours lately too, and if they trade Demko, then they could also trade Miller and the rebuild would be on.

I don't know if we could get a lot more than that to be honest. Although, if I were management, I would ask for the 2024 1st round pick just because of how volatile Vegas could be with the way they trade only to have to remove cap. They could easily be lower in the standings next year as a result of that; thus, 2024 the pick being better. Vegas is definately one of those teams I could see going for him though, just because they're always seemingly making those kind of splashes.

Fair enough, but I think there are teams out there looking for a Miller, even at his cap Pittsburg, Washington and Boston come to mind, because they have old rosters, and are basically in a win now mode, some have cap space some do not, but it is their problem to clear cap space, not ours. All 3 are used to paying older players. Edited February 8, 2023 by J.I.A.H.N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakrami Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Poor Vegas... Even when you want to make a proposal to rip them off, they don't even have much to give lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Miller + Schenn for Hague + Cormier + 1st Cormier is a former 3rd rounder, currently 20 year old relatively average sized LD playing in the AHL in his first year with 24 points in 41 games. Risky, may just end up being another Jet Woo, but could have some potential. Hague is a big, strong, physical LD, 24 playing on their bottom pairing basically logging 5th defenceman minutes. We have to replace his minutes with Schenn. Doesn't seem like much coming back but taking a massive 8M cap extension brings us so much flexibility moving forward for cap dumps for picks.
