Number 11 Friedman is saying it is "expected".

Friedman did say that, "Goalie market: there is a lot of expectation of Ryan Miller to Anaheim for approximately $1 million, although I’m not sure if bonuses will be added to that. "
I've always been a fan of Ryan. Would be great to get the older Miller bro a cup.
How do bonuses work in regard to the cap hit?

Drew Miller is UFA also. Not that we need to spend salary on another 4th liner.
Miller is certainly the best of the bunch for a back-up/1B goaltender. I suspect that Vancouver doesn't want him back because they need to develop their other goalies. If Vancouver wanted him back I think that they would have signed him by now, so that he could not talk to other teams. We will all find out in a few days.
They don't count until the season is over. Then you count them up. If it puts you over the current year's cap, it is immediately applied to your next year's cap. But either way, it's still real money that potentially has to be paid.
You can apply them the next season if you want. We could very well be giving him bonuses just to keep out downside lower, but if they're really easy to attain, might be an indication were a cap team this year.
I think they do, but Markstroms probably their main guy, and they're a mess. Wouldnt blame him one bit for bailing.
I just can't see him accepting that $$ amount, especially for one year. He'll want term or decent coin. However, if it's 1 year for 1 million + bonuses, that's pretty good. He is the best backup option available so he'd be a welcome addition.
I mean, maybe. He hasn't won the Cup yet, he might take a huge discount for one last, real shot at it.
Anaheim offers Miller everything on his likely checklist except a big payday. Cup contender, opportunity to play, proximity to Hollywood for his family... yes he could likely get more money playing for a worse team in another division, or take slightly more money to be a straight up backup. But the fact that he has made a ton of money already maybe means he'll take an ideal situation over a less than an ideal one where he can get a couple million more. I would be surprised honestly if he didn't end up here.
would love it, and I hope it's true. I figured he'd take a discount to be near his wife, but that's not just a discount; that's a damn steal! Like I said though, would be awesome if true. I just have my doubts. Guessing 1 year with 2 million more possible with bonuses.
