The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
Miller would be an upgrade, but woth his reputation I'm very glad he nixed it. Chemistry can be an important attribute for a team and Miller tends to be an outsized douchebag wherever he plays.
 
I don’t care what anyone says, I’m disappointed we couldn’t get Miller. Yeah his attitude might suck, but the chances of being able to acquire PPG or even PPG+ centers for relatively low cost are few and far between.
JTM would be coming to a team that’s won before, and that has several very good players, all of whom are incredibly hard working and dedicated to their sport.

Instead we’re over here crossing our fingers for Pavel Zacha.

So either that Lavoie report is incorrect or cMac traded Rantanen without first getting iron clad proof JT Miller would waive for Colorado? It'd be so moronic of him, I could actually see it being true. But I have to admit, that means cMac took a legit big swing at a true top six center. That shows he knows what the problem is, he's just failing time and time again to fix it.

Unfortunately, that was the last one left before the deadline and we're screwed.

If anything this ups my belief they get Seth Jones now. They've done this before, if they can't have the forwards they want they'll bolster the defense and hope for a miracle. Colorado needs less retention in a Jones trade, has better draft picks to offer, and I bet if you put a gun to Jones' head he'd pick Colorado with his dad and Sakic over going to f***ing Texas.

I bet you he wouldn’t, since Texas is literally home for him and where he goes when the season finishes.

Born in Texas. Moved back to Texas at 12 years old from Denver. Texas remains home for him in the offseason.

Chicago’s ownership is notoriously cheap and resents every dime they have to pay.

The retention here is the key. Chicago would possibly give away assets if anyone would take Jones’ full contract just so they don’t have to pay him. That’s not going to happen given Jones’ NTC though (at least not until offseason).

So the ultimate questions are: (1) does Chicago think it’s possible they could get somebody to take the full contract in the offseason; and (2) if CHI’s actually willing to retain some $$, what’s the amount we have to be at to offset the assets dallas is offering?

I'd put my money on a mis-translation or basically the context being lost in translation

I'm not familiar with Dallas' prospect pool at all, but I thought I read last night that Chicago wanted NHL ready players if they trade Jones. Maybe they could be enticed with a mostly-kinda-somewhat ready Calum Ritchie and a few picks?
