Confirmed Trade: [TBL/NYR] R. McDonagh, J. Miller for V. Namestnikov, B. Howden, L. Hajek, 2018 1st, c. 1st/2nd

[Rschmitz]

Definitely not, very few players are locks to be a top 4D at his age and he's proven nothing at a level worthy of enough to have that type of projection right now.

Eh, as far as prospects go he's a safe bet. WJC play is a good enough level to make those assumptions while projecting prospects

 

[VoluntaryDom]

do enlighten us, what piece was the robbery part?

Idk maybe it was the first round pick when Evander Kane (assuming he's just rental) got a 2nd and a prospect. Or maybe the addition of a solid NHLer in spooner. Or maybe adding a prospect on top of that. Or having to retain on Beleskey.

 

[haveandare]

Maybe. Haven't watched enough to say. IF Lias Buch and Chyt were in this draft where do you think they'd go?

Both top 10 imo. I think it’s certainly possible Svech or Zadina are better propspects but they’re a year back in development and they’re unknowns. Wouldn’t do a late first and Lias or Chytil to get a maybe slightly better or maybe worse player, just doesn’t make sense imo especially when our pick will be pretty high anyway

How did nobody tell me Namestnikov has been American all this time?

 

[Machinehead]

Typical J.T. Miller game. 17 minutes of icetime, no shots. He's dumb.

He attempted one.

Vladdy was born in Russia but moved with his family to the US when he was an infant. He went back to Russia when he was 8 to improve his hockey skills. Was there until drafted by the London Knights in the 2010 OHL draft. Yzerman drafted him in 2012. So the kid plays for Team Russia for international tournaments such as the World Championships in 2017 but is probably the most Americanized Russian in the League.

Please take good care of him. He's an awesome kid with decent talent who will work his butt off for his team. Miss him already.

Fair enough, I'm thinking of Lias and his lower end offensive upside. Fantastic season for him this year but I'm not convinced he'll be more than a 2/3 line guy. I'd trade that and a late round 1st for Zadina if I'm the NYR and I think he's got that superstar offense potential (and a strong D game to match). Svech I'm not as sure about so i think you're right on not trading up, using Lias or Chyt for Svech.

Ultimately I'd lean toward trusting the scouts - if they think Zadina for example is a safe bet to be an entirely different level of player, I'd take their word for it. IMO, Andersson has shown that his offensive upside is higher than many thought. He's real young and putting up AHL points. SEL is one thing, but scoring like he is in the AHL in his post draft year is very impressive imo.

So when do we start seeing posts about a potential line of Kovulchuk-Nemestnikov-Buchnevich for next season?

I heard him in an interview for the first time last night knowing nothing about his history and I was like "Holy English, Batman!"

Den-mother Kreider will look after him

That'd be a nice line.

Svetchnikov-Namestnikov-Buchnevich sounds even better

He was very good yesterday

Kovalchuk-Namestnikov-Svechnikov line keeps Kreider-Zibanejad-Buchnevich together

Sergachev is pretty ridiculous too. I mean it's not like Nick Lidstrom English where you'd swear he was from the USA but damn I don't catch much Russian when he speaks.

 

[ghostgixxer]

He attempted one.

Common man ! Miller’s a proud man and a good player .. giving efforts every games . He’s worth more than McDonagh IMO

 

[Bruin1970]

This smells of Callahan to me. Bolts will sign McD to a big contract and he will slowly disappear. Wayyyy overrated.

No...

Miller had a nice all around game with 2 assists last night.

Wait untill you understand what we mean by player disconnected.

There is a reason some fans called him bozo in GDTs.

I hope he grows in TBL.

Honestly, I think that says more about those fans than it does Miller.

Yeah, on one hand some people take it way too far. On the other hand, he does have a lot games where he does nothing but commit terrible turnovers.

When he's on, he's on and he's really good. Just gotta figure out how to keep him in that mindset.

Yeah, there's a reason he's also called Just Turnovers Miller when he's having a off game.
