Value of: Colin Miller and Nikita Gusev to TOR

[tmlfan98]

I feel like these are 2 players from VGK the Leafs could target this summer.

There were rumours surrounding the Leafs and Miller last summer but nothing got done. With Dubas coming in as GM there's a Soo connection with him and Miller. I wouldn't be surprised if the Leafs interest was actually driven by Dubas and with an upgrade on D needed he could still be interested.

As for Gusev I find it unlikely he'll sign with Vegas considering he didn't even sign with them before the Shipachyov stuff went down. Babcock recently said in an interview at the Worlds that Gusev is a player the Leafs have looked at as well.

What would the asking price be from Vegas to part with these 2 players?

We'll give you both for Nylander.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Dubas also loves Schmidt...don't think we have anything to make it happen though at a price we'd be comfortable with.

We'll give you both for Nylander.

Sure, but what does Buffalo get in the 3-way?

There should be a sticky thread titled "It will cost William Nylander".

Hahaha yep.

Knowing GMGM, he'll give Buffalo a second rounder just because.

So Miller + Gusev + 2nd for Alex Nylander? Doesn't sound like the leafs are involved at all.

 

[Soundgarden]

Why does Vegas want to give up Miller? They're in the western finals with him playing a big role, no reason for them to let him go now.

Nice one! William or we'll keep Miller. We will trade Toronto Gusev for a Shopkins blind bag, though.

I don’t think gusev can come over to the nhl until his KHL contract is up. I think he has 3 more years left on it.

Golden Knights prospect Nikita Gusev signs two-year deal in KHL - Sportsnet.ca

He signed a 2 year deal at the beginning of this season. If he doesn't sign an extension with SKA he could come to NA for 2019-20.

 

[CupInSIX]

Gusev will probably come over to NA when he doesn't have to sign an ELC in a year or two. Knights can trade his rights then.

 

[5cotland]

Gusev will be a stud

i don't think you can because you just joined so you aren't eligible yet

 

[LeafChief]

I like Miller a lot but people think he's worth Nylander?

 

[Randy Randerson]

Nice one! William or we'll keep Miller. We will trade Toronto Gusev for a Shopkins blind bag, though.

I'd give up something for Gusev's rights and see if we can get him to come over....3rd/4th?

 

[oooooooooohCanada]

You have a source on Babcock and Gusev? I watched his Dreger Cafe thing in full and he didn't mention Gusev.

 

[Masked Superstar]

Isn't Buffalo usually the lucky Pierre

Caser posted and talked about it in the middle of page 4 of the thread below, it was in Russian so he translated some of it: http://hfboards.mandatory.com/threads/leafs-at-championship.2483357/page-4

Why does Vegas want to give up Miller? They're in the western finals with him playing a big role, no reason for them to let him go now.

The OP said that Miller and the VGK were trying to get a deal done during reg. season, and, there was a fallout from Miller's camp.

Miller either wanted to be paid a lot or just flat out --- not want to play in Vegas.

Thus, the VGK's GM would be foolish to let Miller walk away for free; since he is a soon-to-be UFA. Plus, I don't think McPhee is willing to commit to Miller for long-term, and, maybe doesn't want to give him the big $'s.

Also --- Kyle Dubas was previously the GM of Colin Miller's OHL team, Sault Ste. Marie, for 3 YEARS.

It is noted that Dubas & Miller have a really good relationship (Dubas is 32 years old, Miller is 26 years old>>> They are probably good friends due to the small age gap, Dubas has even said he has a close-relationship with many players whom he GMed @ Saut St. Marie ----- since he was pretty much the players' age when he was GMing --- which is really cool).


>>>> Thus, it is a popular theory that Miller wants to play for his home-town team, the Leafs since he also has A REALLY GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH DUBAS. So it all adds up.

If McPhee wants to let Miller walk for free >>>>> he is too blind to see what is occurring-between Miller/Leafs. Furthermore, he will be an idiot for not trading him, since it is clearly evident what is transfolding.


Plus, VGK have so many more superstars than the TML. Do they really want to pay a guy big $ who has just recently had a breakout year? Does TML have more $$ to spend than VGK? This has been pretty much EVERY VGK's players' breakout year. So, can they afford to mis-pay Miller, and, ruin their opportunity to keep one of their stars in the future.

A three-way trade with Buffalo will probably complicate things to the point that it won't happen.

 

[Brock Radunske]

One person does...

 

[CupInSIX]

This is just pure horse shit

You didn't even get Miller's age right.
