Vegas is looking to make themselves better not other teams. This is poo for Vegas, a decent pick and a couple meh guys that don’t do much for them. You would need to do better with things that help Vegas now and not just your own team now.
I don't know about best. Theodore and Schmidt are arguably better but all 3 are very close to each other so the adage is still true.

Right now it's Schmidt. Theodore has the highest upside by a fair amount. And I'd argue McNabb isn't far off from those three given his defensive ability.
I can tell you who says no. Vegas. As well as Vegas fans. And any hfboards posters who give it a moment's thought.
Edit: to make better proposals in the future, try to do 2 things: 1- try to target a player that has a reason to be available. 2- offer a return that fits with the needs and direction of the other team.
(1) Miller has no reason to be available, as hes a good player and he's one of the few righties on the Vegas blueline. And (2) Vegas wouldn't be interested in a return of picks and prospects, as they are closer to winning than expected, have a stockpile of picks already, and have even traded picks for 'now' players like Tatar.

He definitely is, and this isn't great for Vegas. I don't see why Vegas wants futures for a legit top 4 caliber, young RHD anyways. They proved they were contenders last year. We're not good trade partners.

Not close, I think the only way Vegas moves Miller out is if he's a piece for EK
I also like that a solid 4C was tossed in as chump change

I like Schmidt, he can skate like the wind, but Theo is better. Still can't believe the Ducks traded him away.
He's a weak defensive player that gets easy zone starts. The leafs need the exact opposite of what he is.

You're a tough nut to crack. I see you saying no team would trade a #1D for Nylander or Marner, so you obviously hold defense as a position in high esteem. Here's a top 4 right handed defenseman, and he's not worth a probable late 1st? :thinking:
He isn't a defense men the leafs should trade a 1 st round pick for. They should get someone who can plays a lot of minutes and can be effective in their own zone.
kadri goes from marleau marner to fric and frac and 12 minutes a night he must be so happy.

you're underrating Brown & whoever of Johnsson/Kapanen/Leivo/Grundstrom emerges, and I doubt the Leafs management acquired a big name UFA to diminish the returns on what they already have - it'll be the 4th line whose minutes get hurt. Kadri will get a downgrade in linemates because he loses Marner, but will also get much better matchups
Like I said, Theo has more talent. But judging the totality of the last season, Schmidt was better. I'm sure as soon as the first month of next season that will change.

There's the ideal move and there's the available move. If you can add an RHD who will at least afford you better breakouts and the ability to move Zaitsev/Hainsey down the lineup for just the cost of a late 1st and some spare change you do that every time.
Agreed. I think if people don't watch a lot of games and just look at PEB's stats they would be underwhelmed. The reality is that his presence in the locker room and on the ice is incredibly important to the team.

Agree with post above. I like this deal for the Leafs, but have no idea why VGK would offer it.
