Roster Building XXIV: Our Hearts Go Pitter Pattersson

CanesBorg: "Sure, we will help you by taking Miller off your hands. But we might want you to through in a sweetener. How attached to Hughes are you?"

I can see them asking for Hoglander, though.

It means what I suspected: Tulsky sees an anchor of a contract down the line. Is it better to wait until the off-season when a lot of cap is available and get a player who isn't signed to a large cap hit through age 37?

Probably.

 

[A Star is Burns]

We still don't necessarily know what kind of relationships the current front office setup has with all the insiders. While all info out there has an agenda attached to it, that becomes even more the case if they only get info in our interest from the other parties involved.

I was thinking the same. and his hit is only 1.1 million this year!

then i realized next year starts a 3 x 3 contract, which as recently as last season i would have thought was decent, but he is sitting at 9 points through 43 games this year. i don't know what's happened this year, but oof. maybe he is one of our beloved reclamation projects, but i think it would have to be in the offseason or at least separate from miller.

Went to the main boards for the first time in forever to see what the chatter was on JTM, any new tweets, etc and…sheesh. What a cesspool - think I’ll just stay here.

Lebrun seems to be the most connected with someone in that organization

I never understood the interest or obsession with Hoglander... he's always kinda seemed like a skilled complimentary player who brings little else if he's not scoring

 

[spockBokk]

Miller + another offensive forward?

 

[Svechhammer]

Miller + another offensive forward?

Was just about to post that video. Says we are the most active team across the league trying to bring in forward help.

Feels like something is gonna happen.

 

[spockBokk]

Just being stupid…

1. he had really solid 5v5 numbers
2. lacrosse goal
3. pig-adjacent name

Can you imagine the Hoglander and Stormy marketing? Oh it would be wonderful

 

[User13452]

If you wanna hear what Rod thinks of Miller go back and listen to his pre game comments before they played Vancouver. This is what he said:

There are a handful of unique players in the league who can really influence a game by themselves" said Brind'Amour before game against Vancouver Jan. 10. "I would put Miller in that category too. If you watch the way they play, he's their lead dog and does everything for them

Can bet Rod is pushing for this deal to happen

 

[A Star is Burns]

I'm still wary of the massive red flags with Miller but I would be excited if they took a big swing like that. I'd trust the front office to know what they're doing and the coach and team culture to make it work. We'll see what does or doesn't happen.

Meanwhile in EDM, the 2nd period just started and the Canucks are down by 4…

Vancouver just had the look of a team who has quit but the individual players would all bounce back elsewhere. So many good pieces that just need a divorce to be happy again.

Be careful what you wish for, Canucks…

 

[User13452]

The heat and noise will only grow with every loss for the Canucks I just can’t see them dragging this out until the deadline. Washington on Saturday could be a third straight loss. If Carolina and multiple offers out you’d think one would be of interest and could be worked out

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

With the Canes starting to play well again, the Canes don't have to rush to make a trade. I'm pretty sure, however, that they will eventually. If Kotkaniemi keeps producing and the price for Miller is too high, the Canes can potentially pivot to a smaller add such as Granlund. We will see what happens, of course.

Just a shout out to Kentucky Fried Movie. What a classic. I wonder how many people watch it these days?

BIG JIM SLADE!
