Speculation: JT Miller, Part III

[quackquackquack]

so because one of their top 4 D went down they should/want to pursue a top 6 F?

You are allowed to make more than one move, crazy I know.

 

[Divine]

it is a team that struggles to score goals, every postseason. They didn't lose to Columbus or Montreal because of defense.

You know one extra goal prevented is the same as an extra goal scored right? Those games they lost to Montreal in OT could have also been won if they allowed one less goal so they didn't go to OT.

 

[Nucklehead Supreme]

Robertson/1st
Hirvonen/Kral
Kerfoot
Dermott
Future 4th

For

Miller
Schenn

No Kerfoot or Dermott please.

Friedman was just waiting for an excuse to speculate on a blockbuster trade between two largest English-speaking Canadian fanbases. Gotta feed the viewers Elliotte! 'I'm on the JT Miller train' - no kidding... but are the Leafs or Nucks?

I love how the media in TO have the leafs helping themselves score more, when the need some D and maybe goalie...
Nice...

Trash yikes

Sounds like Friedmans chasing page hits.
What do the leafs have left to offer?

they got shut out twice by Columbus including once in the deciding game, scored 1 goal in the deciding game against Montreal. There's a reason when they lose the narrative is that their stars choked, because the teams offense disappears.

While I would love Miller in Toronto, pretty sure other teams can easily outbid us.

 

[Nylanderthal]

but that was a toronto beat writer that did those rankings so i guess it doesnt count.

He’s not a Toronto beat writer. He’s literally the guy who heads the prospect part of THW.

 

[Bettman Returnz]

The ask would start with 1st + niemela +

1st + Robertson + Niemela

It may get beaten out by another team but that's probably the offer. Essentially 3 firsts

I wouldn’t accept that for Miller

Then what would you take?

I wouldn't offer that for Miller, the Leafs need to address the D first....miller is a luxury they can't afford.

I agree with the fact that we shouldn't offer it right now. I don't think it's smart to deal anything until our goaltending situation is dealt with. If Soup returns to his earlier performance I'd do it though. Make a deal for Giordano as well

How is it "essentially'' 3 1sts when Niemela was a 3rd round pick?

 

[General Fanager]

Am I the only one who thinks this is a terrible idea for the leafs?

He's surpassed a lot of expectations and has raised his stock a ton.

30 points in 43 games in SM-liga this year, won best defenseman at the world juniors last year. He's a solid prospect

I don't like the Muzzin situation, i think we need a whole 2nd pair...both RHD and LHD.

Nope, i feel the same way.

sorry. i was just being a smart ass. just going off of what someone has been saying the last few weeks around here.

that would apply to a team with bountiful assets and cap flexibility. The Leafs have one hand tied behind their back. They are really due for only 1 big move.

 

[General Fanager]

I mean wouldn't the cost be roughly the same as Chychrun? Which would you rather have??

I feel like the defensive reconstruction occurs in the offseason, it'll be tough to find a whole 2nd pair right now
