Miller certainly holds that type of value and easily nets a blue chip prospect lmao.
You guys are insane. Back in 2011 I would have traded blue chipper Cody Hodgson for someone of JT Miller's value in a heartbeat. Stop overvaluing prospects. Miller makes any contending team cup favourites.
Blue-chip prospects traded in the past 5 years (my opinion on blue-chip and around Newhook-wise):
Peyton Krebs - received Jack Eichel who has 5 years remaining
Adam Boqvist - received Seth Jones who signs immediately for 8 years
Erik Brannstrom - received Mark Stone who signs 8 year deal
Nick Suzuki - received Max Pacioretty who signs 4 year deal
Mikhail Sergachyov - received Jonathan Drouin who signs 6 year deal
Then there's a couple more prospects that could potentially fall into blue-chip depending on how you viewed them at the time:
Josh Norris - received Erik Karlsson who signs for 8 years
Devon Levi - received Sam Reinhart who signs for 3 years
Adam Fox - in the initial Calgary trade that Hamilton was involved with, Calgary recieved Lindholm and Hanifin - 2 RFAs that sign for 6 years each.
Miller absolutely can be placed in this category if traded right now, as a player he is somewhere in there with all the top players involved in these trades. The draw back with Miller though is that he only has 1 extra year on his contract and an acquiring team can not sign him to a new deal for another 4 months - add on to the fact that his next contract kicks in on when he is 30, and given his play he will be deserving of a substantial raise.
