If Miller was signed for 2 more years I’d be way more interested. But a ~year and a 1/3 gives me hesitation.
So an extra 2/3’rds if a regular season would make it better? Why? We want this guy to win Stanley Cups and we’d get him for a shot at 2 of them. I couldn’t give a shit about how many regular season games we get him for.
If Sakic traded every prospect this year to guarantee a cup it’d be worth it imo.
Yes
Let me rephrase that... He didn't say, "I know they are looking for another center," he said, "I think they are looking for another center." Pretty big difference, but he hears things, and we can all put 2 + 2 together with the rumors about Giroux, JTM, Pavelski, and Hertl.
I don’t think the value is off or anything. But if we’re going to move Byram we can 100% get someone who can be here for longer than a year and a half. If Sakic did trade Byram for Miller I would get it though.
Miller, the player, is good enough to warrant a Byram-esque prospect back in a trade. But, Miller in his current contract situation is not. In the past 5 years, when a prospect of Byram's caliber has been moved in a trade, the returning player has either had a long term contract still in place, or signed a new long term contract just after the trade. The shortest term being Pacioretty's 4 year contract. So Miller basically needs another 3 seasons left on his contract to be in the range of players that recent history dictates is worth a Byram-esqe prospect.
Like who? I mean I’m down for getting somebody who’s an even better fit but I don’t see many better fits than 2 years of JT Miller based on all the names rumored to be available.
I mean Byram being available would make some C’s available that aren’t rumored to be available I would think. But like I said, if Sakic does move him for Miller I would get it.
