Eklund: JT Miller still really close to being dealt to the Rangers (e4)

Still doesn’t make the rags a contender

He won't change the direction of the team. The problem with the Rangers is they have no leader like Mark Messier to take charge of a wandering team looking for direction.

You mean Lawton??

Yeah I didn't think Miller would get traded. But after this news about being "almost scratched" went public, then it seems like a matter of time. I wonder if NYR "almost scratched" guys like Chytil, Lindgren, Miller and we just never heard of it?

yes my bad

I heard he was going to Pittsburgh because they were "buyers." Also heard Malkin was involved he was going to a 3rd team so he could be "the man."

Just to be accurate...

Pittsburgh is in FULL BUYER Mode.

NJ was closing in on a top 6 forward this weekend. Could be either JT Miller or Jake Evans. Maybe they changed their mind and are looking at Brock Nelson now? That way Lou could still have dinners with him in NJ.

When did Jake Evans become a top six forward?

You may disagree but NJ feels that he is. That was the report. NJ is trying to add a top 6 forward and Miller and Evans were singled out.

I actually believe this rumor........

Because I heard it from Elliotte Friedman on Saturday. You are pathetic, Eklund!!
- TommyGTrain

It's been the most discussed rumour for months now. Vancouver wants to move on. Miller has NMC. He would be happy with NYR. Meanwhile, NYR wants to shake things up. This all makes complete sense. Likely just hammering out details on 1st round draft protection, value of any other swap in picks. Likely announced tomorrow.

To be clear, no public speaker from the Devs has ever said that Evans was a top six. The have expressed a desire for a bottom six center. What the press reports is totally on them.

I hope not. Millers at the tail end of his career. Rangers don’t need a cancer in the locker room either. Drury is horrible will give up way too much for a has been.

Well you won’t hear of any ground breaking news here only old news regurgitated.

That’s why Zib goes nowhere his NMC is irrelevant. An old team with the window closed.

If Miller is on the tail end of his career & would be a 1C in NY that says it all.

If you want to beat Florida, teams need toughness like Miller, Hathaway, Provorov, Mike Hoffman.

Proorov. Power forward Mike Hoffman.

Eklund; This site used to be so active with Ek posts and movement. Many were sometimes baseless and full of BS, but they were never dull and often made you wonder 'what the F...' Now we have a part time Ek who continues to say he'll update shortly which soon becomes one or two days later, often with a new subject. Seems the only time you are active is on Trade deadline Day and July 1. You contibute less and less every year, so glad I'm not a STH.

Not sure JT would waives NMC FOR NYR ,they are not a contender and will be be bad for years
