Proposal: VAN - MIN (Fiala+for Miller)
- Thread starter JohnHodgson
- Start date
If you have to ask question then why are you participating in a JT Miller thread?
Makes absolutely no sense at all.
Have you checked the standings at all? Try there.
Quotes from Guerin from a Lebrun article today to help clarify that the Wild are not looking for a shakeup, or very concerned about centers:
“As is this very simple factor: team chemistry. The Wild look like a tight bunch. Chemistry is very important. How does a trade affect that in terms of changing players’ roles?
How much does Guerin weigh that heading into the deadline?
“A lot, a lot,’’ said the Wild GM. “I think our guys would be fine (if he adds) because they’re a pretty welcoming group. Everybody checks their ego at the door, they just want to win.
“But I do (weigh that factor). They have great chemistry and they’ve worked at it. They’ve built something really strong in that room. You know what? You got to be careful because you don’t want to disrupt that.’’
It seems to be a universally-held assertion that the Wild could use help at centre. Although when I mentioned that to Guerin, the Wild GM downplayed it.
“I think it’s overblown,’’ Guerin said. “That’s one of those things that people have talked about with our organization for years. You know what? Why don’t you just look at how we’re playing.
“Would you rather win, or win a certain way? I don’t feel the need to do anything like that, I really don’t.’’”

Canucks suck and Wild are good, so there's no reason for the Canucks to keep Miller and plenty of reason for the Wild to add Miller.
I dumbed it down so you can understand it.

Keep Miller and he'll eventually help the Canucks not suck.
Pettersson, Horvat, Boeser, Garland, Hughes, Hoglander, Demko. That's a lot of talent that you'd be wasting by depriving them of Miller.

I’ll counter with
To Vancouver
Fiala
Rask
To Minnesota
Horvat
Protected 1st
Sutter
Rathbone
To Vancouver
Fiala
Rask
To Minnesota
Horvat
Protected 1st
Sutter
Rathbone
Ah that's funny.
It would work if Fiala was significantly better than Horvat, but Horvat is better than Fiala alone so...
Nice try though.

For a team that’s supposedly filled with players better than Fiala, you guys sure do suck.
Just because Canucks are bad doesn't mean you force it Miller on wild fans, or what you think he's worth
Cute the way you slipped Pearson/Dickinson and their multiple years of cap in there, knowing full well that Rask in as an expiring contract. Maybe try bargaining in good faith, and not assuming that your trading partner is an idiot?
I won't even bother going into all the other ways that your offer is insulting to MN fan's intelligence.

Who said that?
I would comfortably take Horvat, Miller and Pettersson over Fiala right now. Is three a lot? Might have to go back to grade school.

Every teams fans think they can offer their worst assets for a teams best asset because "lul dood we fleeced you xd!!" and if you ask for a CRUMB more they get all uppity and start crying.
Replace Pearson/Dickinson with Motte then. All these players could provide a bottom six upgrade. Or just remove those players entirely.
The central basis of the deal is Miller for Fiala, Addison and a 1st, yet you are focusing on the spare parts?

Presents shitty idea, gets beligerent when called on it.

Epitome of HFboards.
Everyone just pretends to be a know-it-all without actually engaging in discussion.
So why is this idea shitty again?

Because it’s ridiculous to think that the difference between Fiala and Miller is a 1st, Addison, and taking on a cap dump. You realize Fiala’s contract expires as an RFA, right?
Using your logic, being slightly worse is worth a protected 1st and your most NHL ready defensive prospect.

Hard to take you serious if yet another person has to explain it to you. Maybe post your address and we can send you a crayon drawing and finger puppets?

This might be relevant if a Wild fan started this thread.

Mantha got a 1st, 2nd, Vrana.
Pacioretty got a 1st, Tatar, Suzuki
Coleman got a 1st, Foote
The difference between Miller and Fiala is absolutely close to a 1st and a prospect.
