It's fantastic for us, but I fail to see why the Caps would want to make that deal.

Adam

Neuvirth
Alzner
Forsberg
Close ?
Neuvirth is wet garbage, you say?Neuvy's been wet garbage for over a year now, so as long as they're not proceeding under the assumption that Neuvy is a bona fide starter, I'd be fine with it--Neuvy would get lit up like a Christmas tree in Buffalo behind this group. Alzner is a good defensive defenseman, and Forsberg is the prize in the deal. Given that we're giving up two nothings (Adam and Brennan) in addition to Miller, the deal is effectively Miller for Forsberg, Alzner, and Neuvirth.
Caps fans wouldn't go for it. They've got a lot of faith in Holtby removing his head from his arse in the imminent future, and probably don't see Miller as enough of an upgrade to justify giving up Forsberg, let alone Alzner and Forsberg.

Conversation that just happened. Sekera: sorry Milzy
Miller: no problem Reg, I'm used to it by now.
Not saying we should trade Miller, this is purely hypothetical. I love Miller. But if the front office decides to go full rebuild, what could we realistically expect in return for Miller? How much value does he have? What would you want in return for Miller?

What about Ben Bishop from OTT? Probably wouldn't cost much and could be a starter. I say bring him in and evaluate him and move Millsy if you like what you see.
As for value. I'd take a top prospect and pick for him or a Scott Hartnell type of player.
See, this is EXACTLY why I'm against paying $6.3m per year for a goalie. Who only plays 85% of the teams games. Give me a guy like Vokoun and spend the money on a guy who plays every game.
Miller isn't going to fetch what Sabre fans want. Maybe after his vezina year but not now.

Anyone have an idea what Ottawa is doing with Anderson / Bishop / Lehner? Last I heard Lehner has developed well.
Bishop would be nice and probably wouldn't cost a lot to accquire but Lehner is a guy I really like. He's been fantastic in the AHL this year and since Anderson has played so well for Ottawa they could potentially move a goalie.
And just like that, Reimer injured in Toronto..Root for someone like Crawford or Niemi to get injured. Seriously. Not many teams have a need for a starter right now.
