They aren’t dealing their top 5 pick even if you think the value is right/fair.
It’s the same reason NYR wouldnt deal kakko/LaF before they’ve suited up for the rangers.
Sandersons stock has only risen since draft day
He’s got the capability of being a cornerstone long term foundational piece for them.
It makes no sense to down grade that piece from Sanderson to miller just to get Krav and a significant + whatever that means??? A 1st?? Kakko??LaF??? Cause that plus better make the trade overkill for them to consider it.
Miller should be a fine d-man in his own right, but Ott likely thinks like most everyone else Sanderson is more likely to hit his ceiling then miller is to hit his.
Not too mention, Sanderson is on an ELC linger at this point
Not a fib to point out that teams don’t deal their top 5 picks within 2-3 years of them being drafted, and not playing a game for them yet. That’s logic
the "fib" rejoinder was as to your alleging same, but thread is nyr-ott so since no restriction by OP, anything applicable to that is kosher.
As to the rest of it, setting aside when they peak, I concede Sanderson on paper has a higher ceiling than Miller. Never said otherwise.
Point is if enuf was on the table, it would be something they could consider.
I thought adding a 9OA in Krav to KAM + would start a discussion, but apparently OTT views him closer to like Draisatil, and I won't go there yet.
So no deal and that's fine
NY will find other work arounds which do not involve dealing youth for vets\
