I think we can start taking the word 'slight' out. It's an upgrade. Not an absolutely monsterous upgrade, but it doesn't need to be.
I feel like there is a lot of semantics in this thread. I think Halak and Miller are both well above average but I do not see the point in trading pieces away for Miller and the reason is that its such a small upgrade. We don't need to take out any words because that is what this whole argument is about...what we are willing to give up.
Lundqvist is an upgrade, so is Miller. The asking price for them would be quite a bit different so the word slight does need to be used to emphasize what we would be giving up and the value it would cost the organization to upgrade.
I guess my point, for those still reading my rambling, is I would like to see Miller over Halak but do not see the point in sending that kind of asking price their way for a guy that could walk at the end of the year. I think Miller is a better goalie (not by much) but I really think Halak has the potential to take us further in the playoffs. If we want him that bad, let Halak and Elliott head out at the end of the year and sign Miller for the amount of years we think it will take until Allen is ready because he is the future IMO.
