Give me JT Miller on this team. I’ll take a player who cares too much over a player who accepts the effort level the Avs are playing at(Mitts). In the words of McDavid, that is not ****ing good enough last night, not even close.

I’d bet whichever team gets Miller is getting the best version of him for atleast the rest of this season. He’s out to prove everyone in Vancouver wrong once he’s out of there. I am starving for that type of attitude on this Avs team.

The Canucks fans are literally talking about JT Miller having a PLD-esque game yesterday.

Yeah, he gives a shit... right....

Yup, that crap only works when you back it up. I’m sure that’s a lot of the reason there’s rift there to begin with.

Miller doesn't care. He just wants to give off the perception he does. He's that guy who goes into an interview and when he's asked what his weakness is, he says "I just care too much." The guy the interviewers roll their eyes at.

He's selfish, a malcontent, a quitter, a terrible teammate, a terrible leader, etc. He's the NHL's version of Julius Randle for those who follow the NBA. Just mopes around with awful body language if he's not being catered to. I could go on if I wanted to.

Nate would start carrying a cat-o-nail tails to practices if anyone brought that effort.

While I’m not a fan of JT Miller as a leader, teammate, etc…you don’t put up the numbers he has if he doesn’t care. He’s ultra competitive but goes about it in all the wrong ways.

I’m not saying it’s a perfect solution, not even close. However it could be the only high risk/high reward move this team needs to achieve their goal of winning the cup.

The reward is a one way, 80 point 2C. The risk is a higher paid Mittelstadt. Status quo also gets us nowhere.
 
Interesting

Hmm. They have Hughes and Hischier at 1C 2C and neither is going the other way.

I guess Miller would play wing? Weird fit.

Edit: but the Canucks want a dman and Nemec nearly asked for a trade so there's that.
 
Interesting

I am assuming Nemec would be going the other way, but who else?

Also, unless there's a Devils top six center headed the other way (I seriously doubt that) is Vancouver going to go with a Pettersson/Suter tandem going forward? Or am I missing someone?
 
They only have $1.9M in cap space.
Which team?

I assume the trade would be something like Miller/defenseman for Nemec/Meier, that way the salaries balance out. I'm too lazy to look it up but I believe Meier is making something like $10 million AAV and Miller somewhere around $9 million.

Meier = 8.8M
Miller = 8M
 
Meier's been a terrible disappointment for the Devs, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being the guy sent the other way.

Much as I think Miller's a dipshit, I'd do that deal if I were Fitzgerald.

The Devils have $1.9M in cap space, Nucks have $3.97

Meier has a $8.8M cap hit
 
Meier has a full NMC, as do Bratt and Palat. Mercer doesn't
Oh shit I forgot about Mercer. I'd include him in just about any trade as well. He hasn't met expectations. Haven't looked in a while but his underlying stats were very underwhelming, as were Alexander Holtz's (whom the Devils also gave up on).
 
Interesting


Their GM, Tom Fitzgerald, was on Real Kyper & Bourne yesterday and was asked about the JT Miller rumours.

He didn’t confirm or deny them but said they absolutely have the bullets in the chamber to go big game hunting and acquire a player “like a JT Miller.”

Yeah, where do you think 'Cam Robinson' got it from ? :sarcasm:
