Miller gets a playoff run. Maybe it is Markstrom if they are looking at resigning Miller? I would prefer Paul as well, we need some more size in the system.
- Reubenkincade



If they want him and he says yes getting Paul would be best trade of the season. Maybe best JB has ever made. UfA for protected player with size and potential.

Miller signing if done is not at expense of losing Markstrom I think. More likely, if they want to keep Demko playing lots of AHL minutes.

There might be a riot if we do Plus who could they overpay that would want to come here

Personally not interested in signing big name Free Agents. Some stop gap measures for.a year or so I could live with.Wasn't happy with last year's signing either especially the term.

In separate trades Tanev & Hansen fetch a minimum 1st & 2nd.
Otherwise they stay put. JB would make a hockey trade 1st IMO.
Tanev is unlikely to be moved unless a crazy offer is out there.
Callahan is a plug who ties up a roster spot. Why pay so much?
We don't need an anchor of a contract like his. 5.8m/3yrs NAH

That deal has an exempt forward in it, and you trade one protected for another, so the Vegas side would be fine as you could then protect Sbisa. But you are right, I dont think the haul is worth Tanev given the contract coming back. I just dont see Tampa giving up a whole lot to acquire him either
- WhiteLie


Yes agree that the trade must make sense for both teams. TB not a good trading partner because Tanev is too valued here and only Drouin would do it for Canucks which is a non-starter for Bolts as well.

Ya, was just spit balling with the Markstrom thing.
Vegas may want an experienced goalie and has a 48 hour window to talk to free-agents they may be interested in Miller? A ýoung goalie like Subban and another in the mid-late 20's. If they did that then they can't choose another Canuck.

Guess it all depends on the age of the player. College guy like Stecher is a given. Maybe some low level stop gaps like they did with Megna/Chaput/Skille. But if Oshie or Tavares come up you would be againsr that? Cap space available with Burr & Miller and then Sedins. Even if any of them were resigned probably at bargain basement prices.

Yes true. Same goes with Rodin. But if I were Vegas I would use that window to set up a deal and sign players they want to keep July 1. Meantime pick a sure thing in expansion draft as a keeper or asset to trade at entry draft.

I liked the "rumor" Vantel posted a twitter about of Nylander + pick for Tanev.

Rules out the Habs..high taxes
TBL & FLA? No cap or not a contender
Who is left? No contenders with cap room for him

Only leaves a league full of bubble teams

I suspect there are 12 more desirable locations for him...It's highly unlikely that the Islanders let him slip away as a UFA anyways. He will be signed or traded.

They let everyone else slip away.
They play in a horrible arena.
His loyalty has not been well rewarded either.
Idk how much longer he will stick it out.

As for 12 then here is quality living over most places.
