Retired.
Though Miller CAN play center, despite the fact that AV has determined he's better on the wing.
I come back to my earlier proposal of Staal + McIlrath + their choice of goalie prospects. Solid LD addressing one of their big needs, a cheap replacement for what would have been an extremely expensive 3rd pair RD - both of whom are hometown boys, signed and under team control - plus a prospect from the Rangers' greatest organizational area of strength which also happens to be their greatest organizational weakness... Maybe throw in one of our non-marquee forwards from this glut we've built up (say, the injured Lindberg, who after all, is not a wing)...?
If you look past the traditional HF bias towards shiny prospects, it makes a lot of sense as a package for a guy who's becoming a headache despite never having scored more than 29 points, and has trended down (scoring-wise) each of his three years in the league.
I'm not sure Staal would waive to go there, and I don't think Winnipeg would bite on a guy who is pushing 30 and whose best years are clearly behind him as the main piece for a player like Trouba. I think if it comes to the point where they start actually listening to offers, I think they'll get a premium return.
I'd be surprised if Staal could even get a guy like Myers in return. Just too much of a cap commitment.
