Why is it so hard for fans of other teams to understand that we aren't trading him because he isn't good enough. We are trading him because his age doesn't match our core, we have too many good forwards and not enough good defence (relative to each other), and the best years he is likely to have, will be the next 3 or 4. A team on the cusp of winning the cup can make better use of his best years than we can.
I almost responded to your initial post on the topic but let it go, and am now glad to see that you actually are just trolling. Gotta admit you did almost have me though so well done!
I think they are bristling against people who say, 'maybe he's a complimentary top 6er'.
I don’t think I’ve said anything here that you’ve claimed I said. But go ahead, keep making shit up and saying I said things I didn’t say to make yourself feel better.
Miller can help his team win a playoff series, Matthews scores 60 in the regular season but fails year after year in the playoffs...
That is the main reason to trade JT, but if he stays hopefully the contract isn't too bad. Taking a risk if they go into the season having him but at the same time teams aren't really desperate to add a PPG player in July.
Miller >> Tavares
If Chytil, Lundkvist and a 1st is offered they should definitely take it but I kind of doubt that offer would still be on the table after Chytil’s strong playoffs and Trocheck’s signing.
Based on what? That Giroux is older, had a higher cap hit and worse production? I would love to hear your reasons.
This thread is a cesspool of awful takes, your here may be the worst.
Maybe Pittsburgh? Are we questioning if Crosby is better than Miller?????
If he is healthy absolutely Crosby is better. He has missed a reasonable amount of time in 2 of the last 3 years though, which is why I said maybe.
You, uh, haven't been reading posts around here for a while, have you.
Rather than just posting emojis, lets see you post a list of teams that JT Miller wouldn't be the #1C on next year.
Can't speak for others, but in the case of Jackets fans, it's because all of those issues mentioned (that justify why y'all are trading him) also exactly apply to us, down even to the the fact that both our teams have a craving for defensive RHD, and yet we still keep getting hailed as a good destination for him and keep getting pushed proposals. (Thankfully, not as many as we used to get, but we've still had the occasional home board invader.)
That’s fair and I won’t claim I know the Jackets direction more than you do, but if what you say is true why sign Gaudreau? Makes no sense. Signing Gaudreau is a win now move not a move that says our window isn’t for another few years.
Because he's an honest to G-d superstar/franchise-level player, and you make exceptions when someone of that incredible level of talent is available and interested in your team. Same reason the Rangers grabbed Panarin "early".
Oh, I get that many fans on these boards know precious little about the situation of other teams.
