Good to know. Gives me a better idea of what we are talking about. Sounds like a smaller signing. I tough he was a Tanev comparison.

He’s probably going to get in the $3+m per year range. Nucker would like him, he’s got a great flow with the helmet off. He’s more like a bigger, stronger Ben Hutton…

I'd say Dillon is better.

Stevie Y is a clown but surely he isn’t actually serious. Let’s see if he is stupid enough to pick a Russian in the top 10. He is all talk and probably just posturing

Yeah some GM might say if Stevie Y wants him then I will get him first.


You would like to think GMs are smarter than that but

You know there's lots of spots between a top pairing and a replacement level defender.

Just seen an interesting ACGM on CF.

JTM and Garland for Dubois and Lowry.

I am not a PLD fan but I do like Lowry. It also unlocks that 7 year JTM contract.

I wouldn’t do that to Miller. That’s inhumane. Regardless of whether some people dislike him, he still chose to settle down in Vancouver with his family and has generally played very well. Shipping him off to WPG would be a massive (frank) you

Like I mentioned I don't know nothing about him other that what I read here so I am collecting info.

I am a big fan of waiting for Brodie to be BO and signing him 2 years at 2 mil or something similar. We will get a better feel for who is available in the next two weeks.

It would be awesome to see Miller traded to Winnipeg!

If your getting names like Myers and Hutton comparisons and 5-7 D man, can you be impressed? lol…

I think it would make it very difficult to sign American players in the future. At least not without a full NMC. Also, WPG would want to check the temperature on Miller playing there and they would obviously be told he wouldn’t welcome the move. Not happening for a variety of reasons

This team is hardly attractive to American players or players from any other country. An owner who is president of hockey ops, a president who no one really knows if he's alive at this point and a GM who traded a 1st and a 2nd for an injured D man. The only time it was attractive was when the previous GM was giving out obscene money to tweeners, reclamation projects and misfits & problem children.

Honestly, the team should be drafting kids from Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Well and Swedes and Russians

For sure, it was pretty shocking that Miller
Chose to play here
