Othmann, Lundqvist, and a 2022-1st
for
Miller at 50%
Would Vancouver accept this?
this is the type of proposal that at least makes sense...
Personally, I wouldn’t do it. But I’m terms of being realistic, it takes nothing off the existing roster that will be competing for the cup.
The only roster player that could potentially be involved imo would be chytil, and that likely only happens if the rangers want to get chytils cap hit off the team next season for millers at 50%.
In terms of cap hit finales, they are pretty much equal.
If chytil wasn’t in a van deal, he could possibly be used in a different deadline trade..
as far as miller or Schneider, neither are likely going anywhere at this point in time. Both are playing starting positions on the current team.
Miller is playing 20 min a night with trouba on 2nd pair, and since Schneider has come up, 3 rd pair hasn’t been a liability. He is also currently playing 20 min a night while Fox is injured, plus the fact that Schneider will make it possible to move Trouba’s cap hit earlier.
Miller-Schneider could very well wind up being the rangers 3/4 D pair in 1-2 years time for a very long time. Both are cheap, and their next contracts won’t break the bank.
If 1 of Miller/Schneider were to be dealt, expect a long term young 2C with the same type of control as the return... otherwise moving either of them makes no sense.
No team that wants to load up for the playoffs wants to weaken their roster in 1 place, to boost another. That’s dumb.. they want to add what they feel is the missing piece to their current roster..
That’s why 99 times out of a 100 these type of trades involve picks/ prospects from the farm going the other way.
