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

[JT Kreider]

I'm not sure what you're getting at here.

I stand by my statement 100% still if I could choose any GM in the league to manage the Canucks it would be Yzerman.

Rangers fans still salty af.

I'm not salty at all. I'm fully on aboard with the rebuild and am actually excited for the future. It's about time for us to get some high end young talent.

I for one am disappointed and were hoping there were more Leaf-related posts.

JT Miller was on the 4th line by the end of game 7 and McDonagh was horrible against the Capitals. Bonus: Girardi turnover led to a goal.
You can't make this stuff up.
Hopefully for Tampa they will be better next season.

My Mac eye test has not changed. He is a declining player who seems to run out of gas every 3 or 4 weeks during the season then regroups and plays fine.

The Bozo did not disappoint

Which is crazy because during his 2012-2014 Mactruck heyday he was a machine who got better deeper into games.

He played 54 minutes in that triple OT win in Washington

STILL A GOOD trade for Lighting because they have Miller and Mcdonaugh for 1 more year.

Miller's contract expired. The Lightning have to re-sign him to keep him at this point. I've seen a few people mention that the Lightning have him for one more year. Based on what I've read it seems like most of them don't want to re-sign him for the $5M+ he's going to be looking for.

I know he was a beast then and that is where the legend of Mac Truck peaked.

Start by getting yourself checked for massive head trauma if you think Karlsson brings you back anything close to Point.

God I’m going to love seeing all the delusional Sens fans’ heads explode when they see what Karlsson actually returns.

Karlsson would be the best player on your team AINEC as evidenced by the performance of your key guys in game 7

 

[Scott Malkinson]

Shout out to the guys who wanted Timothy Liljegren, Kasperi Kapanen and a 1st for McDonagh.

 

[Lays]

if those prospects become a top 4 d and top 9 c then this trade heavily favors the Rangers

Howden is pretty much a lock to be a 3C, maybe more. Hajek is pretty much a lock to be a bottom pairing D, but I can see a 4D in him. Some ranger fans are expecting a top pairing dman out of him just because Gorton thinks he can become a 1D

 

[Lays]

Yep. A couple of times.
Some passionate fans out there.
I've also seen some saying they'd only trade Kreider for a top 2 pick.

Pretty sure that’s only @Machinehead

Yes, the only teenagers I'd trade Kreider for today are Dahlin and Svechnikov.

7 out of 10 top 10 picks don't become full-timers.

This makes the rest of us look bad..Kreider is very good but I’d trade him for a top 12 ish pick. (Which no one will offer for him) he has more value to us than another team trading for him

A 12ish pick has about a 25% chance of being an NHL player, let alone as good as Kreider.

 

[Machinehead]

If 5 of the top 10 picks are as good as Kreider, that's an incredible draft.

How many of those picks will make an AAV of 4.65 million?

Miller is an RFA. Do you know what that means?

 

[Machinehead]

Kreider is underpaid.

Even if we didn't sign him, two years of Kreider at 4.6 is worth more than the #12 pick.

Who cares about ELC contracts if they're not NHL players? The vast majority of draftees are not.

 

[Klaus3154]

If they win the Stanley Cup NEXT year


So we (the Rangers) could still get a first round pick from Tampa Bay next year...but it would be the last pick in the first round

Which is why I was hoping they would win this year and tank next year. Oh well

 

[ImNeverWrong]

What happened to Miller? I know rag fans called him an utter idiot lol. But as soon as he came to tampa he tore it up on the first line while racking it up on PP1 too...what the heck happened to him in the playoffs?

Have you seen Jt Miller's playoff stats? Prior to this year he had 1 goal 15 assists in 40 games. ONE goal in 40 playoff games. If anything he played up to his usual self this year.

He’s a complete no show in the playoffs. He had like 1 goal in 40+ games prior to these playoffs.

Regular season - racks up points with not great underlying numbers

Playoffs - cancer

That's pretty much how he's been his entire career.

Kucherov and Stamkos were shutdown at 5v5. What the hell was Miller gonna do if those guys couldn't even get it it going.
