Newhook has "certain NHL" written on him. Likely top 9 and possibly top 6. I wanted him before Guhle, but I think Guhle is ahead in that he will be top 4 and boot Chiarot in two years. Newhook may be too valuable of a future piece to give up for current help. Or not. I know I wouldn't trade Guhle.
Miller may be a really good add for us by replacing stone hands Danault. BUT, the cost of acquisition is the big issue. The level of prospects that we wont trade wont interest you unless a 1st plus Danault. Guhle/Kk/Suzuki/Romanov/Caufield are untouchable and our future foundation pieces. Anyone else is too questionable and too low quality.
Miller will give us another 2C while we have two more current 2C in development (Kk and Suzuki). Not too shabby for a team that had Danault as their first for too long.
We can fit him in our cap and no different form what Danault will cost us next year.
So if you want Danault plus our 1st for Miller, let's talk.....
P.S. how is his 200 ft game? if not very good, he's not a fit.
EDIT.....actually, to amend the trade. Miller and Virtanen for 1st, late 2nd and Danault. We either hit a home run with a motivated Virtanen, more offensive Miller to our rolling 4 lines.....or I get fired as the Habs virtual GM.
