Confirmed Signing with Link: [TBL] Tampa re-signs J.T. Miller (5 years, $5.25M AAV)

[iamitter]

Fair contract for his regular season production.

 

[tictactoe]

Not horrible.. Just right I guess.

 

[WesMcCauley]

Name me a player who scored 58pts who is getting 4.5 Million ?

Zuccarello averages 57 points per 82 games in his career and has signed a one year contract at 3,5 mill after a 59 point season and a ufa contract at 4,5 million aav for 4 years

With that said though, its fair price for what JT Miller brings. Cap is going up and 5 million isnt what 5 million was three seasons ago. Its easy to forget that when we discuss contracts.

 

[PensandCaps]

Tampa has so many good players. Easily the best team on paper.

Killorn, Johnson and Palat are probably gone soon with Kuch and Point needing raises in a year.

But they will still be the deepest team with the way their farm team develops players.

Nice in other world, you can get an Andrew Shaw

 

[PensandCaps]

Kane got 7 mil.

J.T. Miller is better and has a better track record. How can anyone call this bad?

 

[ijuka]

This much money for JT Miller?

I can't help but see this as a significant mistake. Guy's not good enough for this money.

What? His production is just fine for the money. Only problem is it's 2 years too long for me.

 

[T1K]

That’s steep. Miller is a good player, but would much rather have Rust and his new contract compared to this.

Killorn, TJ and Palat are all good players, but they are extremely replaceable. Killorn is going to be a bitch to move though.

Most are calling it bad because they signed the wrong JT. (And are under the guise that they can't sign the good JT now because of said signing.)

 

[TSA0402]

At first it seems like alot, but looking at the potential rise in salary cap and ridiculous contracts handed out(Kane 7x7), it seems pretty fair.

Palat isn't very replaceable. Unique skillset within our org. Killorn and TJ have plenty of ready replacements, though.

You would rather have a player with a ppg average of 0,52 the last two seasons than a player with a 0,7 ppg average the last two seasons? Makes sense...

Well it is 3.5 M vs 5.25 M...

 

[Stammertime91]

Well it is 3.5 M vs 5.25 M...

And you pay for what you get? Lol.

It still stands, you pay less for a guy that produces less. Pretty simple logic. It's not like Rust is a steal and scoring 60 points or Miller is getting 30 points. Both are on good contracts.

Both signed til they're 30 and Miller being a year younger. I'd say it's pretty fair.

 

[Calad]

Glad it wasnt the Rangers giving him the contract. Playoff performance aside, the guy floats too much and takes some really really stupid penalties.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Heard Yzerman and team screwed up the pitch.

Sure, agree to disagree. Miller is no doubt a good player, don’t get me wrong, but his caphit just seems a smidge high for me.

Edit: didn’t realize Miller’s PPG was that high over the last two years. Disregard what I said above, was sleeping on JT Miller.

I'll let Queen take over this one:

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

No JT in Tampa makes me really happy as a leafs fan

This made zero sense to me and I must have read it 6 times. JT Miller =/= "JT"

 

[Rschmitz]

No John Tavares

 

[Stickpucker]

Why is this contract so bad? isnt miller a lot better and more physical than Elias Lindholm?

 

[VoluntaryDom]

5.25 for Miller is nuts.

not really

yes

 

[Sparksrus3]

4 , 6 , 23 , 43 , 56 , 58.
Those are the JT Miller point totals in each of his 6 NHL seasons.
How many players have increased points in this many consecutive years . He may hit 60+ with a full year in Tampa.
