Grub's Canucks & NHL News, Rumours, and & Fantasy GM | Rumour Has It

[Canucker]

And I don’t think they offer him up even if they want Miller because I expect they know they can probably put together the best offer without giving him up.

Yep, the idea behind these contenders is to "load up", not load sideways or marginally...they'll offset the cap space with players that will impact their on-ice product the least, and give up futures for value.

 

[JT Milker]

I would expect Kotkaniemi and a defensive prospect for Miller given the other leaked offer from NYR, but Necas may not be viewed positively by CAR given his contract situation.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

At this point, f*** Drury and the Rags. No Miller for you.

That is downright laughable if true.

At this point, f*** Drury and the Rags. No Miller for you.

That is downright laughable if true.

Severe missed opportunity to not have Golden Showers as the headline instead of Golden Struggles.

 

[David71]

Boeser now Tocchet saying how all this as leaked into the dressing room, gotta think they make a deal soon.

a double agent in the room spilling the secrets to media? "shocking"

 

[Wisp]

There's no precedent of Carolina making a trade like that... but trading Necas contract volatility for certainty with Miller is certainly a good way to resolve it.

 

[Wisp]

Also I think Miller would veto the Canes just to never do a storm surge lol.

Boeser: No thanks
Lankinen: Yes please
Suter: Pass

So based on that, I'd look to re-sign Lankinen and trade Boeser and Suter at the TDL.

 

[Agent007]

Wouldn’t surprise me if Carolina was willing to do this without any rentention if KK was included. Both JT and KK have 5 years left and difference between the contracts is $3.2M AAV.

 

[Jerry the great]

It would go against every trade the Hurricanes have made under this ownership.

Except they don't shy away from older players and JTM is a better player than Necas.

Necas had a 25 game (white hot) heater to start the year (shooting 2x his career average) and since has been dogshit (10 points -3 in his last 20. Despite that heater, his share numbers are worst (forwards) on the team and his contract situation is sub optimal. If they could covert him into JTM i think they would in a heartbeat.

lankinen every day at that contract

suter - would lean towards no but maybe depends what else is out there. if no other free agents are interested and that's the cost to keep him, fine, but no trade protection so they can ditch the contract if needed. wouldn't move him at the deadline just based on this.

boeser - if his ask starts with a 9, move now or at deadline, no thanks

 

[Bgav]

cant wait for trades to break down again! (Give me Laffy)

 

[ephmrl]

one of Lafreniere or Schneider need to be coming back in any deal with the Rangers

 

[vancityluongo]

as bad as this situation is, miller retention would be insane

even if they get laf back idk how i'd feel

for chytil and lindgren, retaining on miller is a fireable offence

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Lfg

 

[Baby Pettersson]

This is the biggest tease ever. Seems like every year the prospect of a Miller trade edges us harder than the last!

Blockbuster: Mark Friedman for Chad Ruhwedel

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Are they at the adult table or kids table?

 

[Cheeks Clapinski]

This edging session better be worth the squeeze

Blockbuster: Mark Friedman for Chad Ruhwedel

Absolutely not.

Friedman is currently a top pair dman partnering Hughes. Need more.

 

[Bgav]

Bidding war?

 

[ihaveyuidonttouchme]

end this misery ffs!
