Value of: Miller + to EDM for Oilers 2018 1st pick [unconditional]

[bernmeister]

I am bullish as is most of our base on JTM, who was drafted 15OA, and for the most part played well while showing real flashes. I think he's had enough of coach AV, who I believe is universally hated at our board.

Miller is part of the solution, not part of the problem.
But we need extra shots at Dahlin in lottery.
Of course, not only is there no guarantee/and percentages of any one pick are low, but Miller released [and possibly + depending on what that is] could pull Oil out of the lottery.

So, what would it take?
Miller + 2020 Ranger 1st
for
Oilers 2018 1st

JT is making only 2.75 expiring w/RFA rights, and EDM having 8m+ in cap should not be a prob this year, w/Fayne expiring. Plays any of 3 F slots.

Would you trade a chance at Dahlin for a 50 point forward?

 

[Flamesfan62]

Awful

 

[ManofSteel55]

Pass from Edmonton. If we end up with a chance to get Dahlin in the lottery (which we likely will), we aren't trading it. Maybe after the lottery we consider trading the pick if we don't win, but until then, that pick is going nowhere.

Wtf?

JT Miller plus a 2020 1st for Oilers 1st (Unprotected)?

That is a massively ridiculous offer from a Rangers stand point. We lose a young 50+ point scorer and a 1st rounder for.....well a 1st Rounder

It's the Dahlin insanity many people have. Losing Miller to maybe move up 3 or 4 spots would be nuts. It's not like we're looking at a long playoff run ourselves.

Haha ur crazy its a top 10 pick in a very deep draft with decent chances at Dahlin. Get real.

 

[belair]

Huge JT Miller fan, but the Oilers can't afford him long term. The Eberle trade happened because we needed to budget more money towards retaining the defense. With Nurse coming up this summer, that's not changing.

Also, the first is off the table. We need the prospect depth.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

no, Bern. Just no. A 2020 first even though you have both of your 2018 and 2019 firsts? That just screams cheap.

Unconditional? Are you out of your mind?

Rangers should also have a top 10 pick in that draft though.... Edmonton is a whole 2 points behind the Rangers this season and the Rangers don't look to be getting any better

 

[AZviaNJ]

No GM is giving up a chance to potentially draft Dahlin.

 

[mouz135]

Chia should trade that pick for help at the deadline. Bolster up that playoff push

 

[BleedBlue14]

Why does EDM do this? EDM also needs help on the backend and needs ELCs. I could see logically this being done at the draft if NYR wants to move of some places in the draft barring that EDMs pick will be ahead of NYRs and not be the number 1 overall

Look at the draft picka involved.

Im crazy?

We are in a position to get our own top 10 pick.

Why would we trade Miller just for a 4% higher chance of 1st Overall pick.

That is a very risky and silly move. We will have the same odds as the Oilers as it stands at the moment but what if the Oilers end up having a great run of wins and end up making the playoffs?

We lose a great young player and a 1st round pick for a late mid-late first rounder.

 

[X66]

Oilers 1st round picks are always gold, they aren't trading it.

So JT Miller who is about a 50 to 55 pts soon to be RFA who will want about 6mill a year for an lotto pick unprotected? Polite no

 

[StevenF1919]

Is the + McDonagh?

 

[DakrSnooze]

Miller is a nice piece but this makes absolutely zero sense from an Oilers POV.

Pass.

 

[Mortivore]

Have to remember its Oilers 1. round pick, if they end in lottery range its basicly 1OA.

 

[rent free]

very bad for the oilers. they'd never trade that pick away.

its a 2018 1st from the oilers you would be receiving, stop being a homer

bruh mcdonagh miller AND deangelo for that pick wouldn't even go through would it?

 

[5cotland]

A homer?

Are you actually trying to suggest that that offer makes sense for NYR at all?

Even for the fact it would increase their chances of 1OA by 4%?

That is pretty poor odds by comparison for JT Miller plus a first round pick.

OP makes absolute sense for the Rangers, they get two cracks at Dahlin, move a guy that doesn't look like he's in the long term plans and give up a first two years from now that could be miles lower

Oilers don't even consider touching this deal. Miller is going to be wanting a sizeable raise too, the Oilers don't even get his cost controlled years.
