Roster Building XXIV: Our Hearts Go Pitter Pattersson

If they want KK, I’m all ears.

 

[Stickpucker]

JR always gets his guy and I have a feeling KK is his guy.

 

[User13452]

KK Roslovic and a first.

 

[DaveG]

Believe that as you may but it’s a lot easier to spend to $80m versus $110m and beyond.

Revenues won’t expand for dundon that much to justify taking a big financial loss every year at the much higher cap (I know it’s easier for fans/people spend someone else’s money….)

agreed with the overall premise, though if the new arena district pans out who knows how much extra income that could bring per season for the team.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

KK Roslovic and a first.

That'd be absurd. I'd do that in an absolute heartbeat. It'll take way more.

Miller seems like he'd age into a 3C well, just as Staal is fully phased out. Elite 2C behind Aho in the meantime for the next 2-3 years. Cap hit isn't crazy, especially with rising cap.

That said, between Bunting, De Haan, etc., we'd add to the reputation of signing guys then trading them immediately if we flipped Roslovic like that lol.

 

[DaveG]

I'll venture a guess of player + prospect + pick, so to throw my guess out there:

KK + Heimosalmi + 1st (upd: would probably need to include Drury or Chatty for cap purposes)

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

I mean, of course we would do KK + prospect no one remembers + 1st. Someone on the trade board put together KK + Drury + Morrow + 1st, which actually hurts, but not too much and thus seems reasonable.

I guess it depends how prohibitive Miller's contract really is, I could see the Canucks getting the former just because of contract + age + he's forced their hand

Roslovic signed a one year show me deal. Who gives a shit if we trade him? Does he even give a shit?

those guys were multi year deals. Roslovic is a different story

I don't know Navin geez shut up

Lol ok sorry

 

[TheBigLetowski]

The more I look at his stats, the more I think this is a chance we can afford to make. Reasonable cap hit, RHC (something we've missed since Vinny) and he plays an asshole game. This is a guy who could help any of our top 6 wingers. Canes can't *outbid everyone, but Doesn't JT have to pick his spot? Maybe he's down to play for Roddy?

In a vacuum I'd think if there's ever a place for a guy who has a reputation for being an asshole because he gets mad at the rest of the team for not caring as much or working as hard as he does, this is the place where that'd be appropriately channeled.

Miller is a left shot.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Miller is a left shot.

He'd need to be a right shot in Carolina's system, do you think he could make the switch?

 

[Peter Griffin]

Give us Nikishin and I’ll say yes.

 

[Svechhammer]

KK plus Roslo and a pick for Miller?

I hope Tulsky doesn't sprain something sprinting to pick up the phone to close that

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

I bet the Rangers heard Carolina was getting Miller and caved on their unprotected first

 

[User13452]

Friedman says his preference is eastern USA so rangers canes devils islanders all fit that. I’d say it’s like a 90 percent chance he ends up in the metro so it might as well be on the canes and not someone else

 

[DaveG]

Probably a safe bet. I haven't heard anything though the new FO is a lot more tight lipped than things were with Don.

 

[Peter Griffin]

Might not be a PC to announce Miller trade but simply a mid-season “update”. Either way, Miller situation will be discussed.

I'll laugh if we feigned interest just to get the Rags to cave, then swung a less-expensive trade for a more palatable vet 2C contract like ROR.
