Yeah I've posted the idea a few times now just never in it's own thread.
Not a fan of moving JT Miller. But I understand the rationale
Seems like we have found someone who can put up good proposals. This looks like a balanced one as a neutral, although I don't think NYR would trade Miller.
we need a good RHD desperately. like, des-per-ate-ly.
our best RHD is a career #4 with almost no prospects of note at the position.

To NYR -
D Brandon Montour, OTT '17 2nd, F Nate Thompson (LTIR)
To ANA -
F JT Miller
It would seem Montour represents the biggest need in the Rangers system, a very talented RHD puck mover who could be ready to step in immediately. His stock has shot through the roof since being drafted due to his ability to put up great numbers at each level thus far. Thompson is merely a salary dump, he's out for most of the year and gives the Ducks some budget flexibility. The Ducks also add a 2nd to help make up for Miller being more proven, although it appears the Rangers should have a couple in house replacements in Vesey and Buch.
Miller provides the Ducks with some much needed affordable scoring. I'd like to see him and Rakell together to form a very dangerous second scoring line. It would be tough to part with such an impressive prospect like Montour, but Miller represents a much bigger current and future need.
Thoughts?
Holy hell, someone actually came up with a reasonable trade offer. Nice work, OP.
you sir get kudos, good proposal!

Buchnevich automatic deal breaker. On HF and in real life. He was reported as one of the Rangers few untouchables earlier this summer.
Rangers aren't moving Buchnevich. He, along with Skjei, were deemed untouchable by management.
Posted this yesterday in another thread -
Montour + 2nd + Thompson (LTIR) for Miller

Agreed. I don't want to move JT. We have been missing a player like him ever since we traded Dubinsky. However, I would actually think about this one. I think silverfish has been pimping this trade for a long time on our board. I was really against it at first but with all of our forward depth, it really does fill a need.
Absolutely not on Buch though. Most talented prospect we have had since Cherepanov. Only guy in our system that has 30g potential.
Asking a 1st would be a quick no - especially as Ducks never trade them unless they have multiple 1sts.I'd think about this one although I'd HATE to lose Miller, would most likely do it if it was a 1st. Miller is a highly valuable commodity in today's NHL and will most likely only get better. Kid's hockey smarts are through the roof and has some great physical tools. I see his ceiling as a 25+ goal 60+ point player.
No he's not
you may continue to be contrarian, but that he has an NMC which becomes effective if he stays is a fact, not speculation
yield to the logic
of the truth
inb4 Bern finds and kills me for saying this...
But would ANA have any interest in Hayes ?
