Expansion draft bros Canucks and Sabres could possibly swing a fair deal for both sides.
David Pagnotta Feb 2020:
The Sabres are still looking for a top-six scoring forward. GM Botterill wants a player with term; my understanding is he's willing to swap talent for talent and could move one of their D (Ristolainen, Montour or Miller) as part of a deal if he can find that forward.
July30: John Vogl: “I’d be surprised if Brandon Montour suits up for the Buffalo Sabres again. As an RFA w/ Arb rights he’s in line for $4M+ AAV. With Ristolainen, Jokiharju, Miller, Borgen at RHD, money can be better spent elsewhere. Not enough bang for the buck @ $3.4M, let alone more”
JV+ to Buffalo for a right side dman.
Colin Miller works for me. Someone here was throwing his name about as a target before he went to buffalo if i recall
Yeah the team could use his heavy shot on the point & he has a good two-way game.
After re-reading that it sounds like its Montour who would be up for grabs not Miller though. He was a pretty good young up and coming dman with the ducks but 4 mill? I have a feeling hes a bit of a troy stetcher more than anything.
Would Troy resign in van for 1-1.5? Thats where he should be not anything that starts with a 2. If hes unrealistic with his self worth then i can see him pricing himslef out of the NHL in a hurry

Jimmy snuck in a hint saying it could be a young player who gets traded? Around the same time he mentions how much he likes the depth on Defence coming up the pipeline - Juolevi, Chatfield, Rathbone, Rafferty. Seems to think all 4 are ready. I bet it’s Stecher who gets dealt “young guy” or Virtanen.
All four are ready for sure. Absolutely 100 %. I’d be shocked if they weren’t all up for multiple Norris trophies. I wonder if they will flip Hughes.
I really want to see what we have in Jew-Levi again though. He shocked me with how well he played....
Don’t be like Doyle, the book IS NOT written on Olli
Not sure how you misinterpret my post as anything other than complimentary to OJ.

No the book isn't finished but it is with the editors and so far it does not look like a best seller. They are currently hopping to just recover the cost of paying the author, binding the books and sending to Indigo's throughout the world.

This is wrong, Juolevi has said this last camp was the first time in over a year he has been able to play and skate without pain. His ceiling is still there as a stud top 4 minute muncher. Don’t buy into the bs surrounding this guy.
Motte is a guy, I hope they find a way to resign. What a worker in the playoffs.
Jim Benning made reference to maybe having to move on from some youngish players because of the lower cap.
Think Stecher is one for sure. Possibly Guadette.
Sure sounds like at least two players already in the system will be part of the D-core next year if they have their way..

He looked like a confident and capable NHL dman coming out of this camp. That bodes well for the Bennaplan

I think Gaudette has more upside than Virtanen at this point. And hopefully a pretty poor playoff showing by both guys gives Benning some bargaining leverage.
With our winger depth, next year I wanna see miller center a line. I think petey is at the point where he can center and carry his own line. This should free up miller to center the second line and bo center the third line. We could legit run a vegas like rotation with that center depth. All three of bo, miller, and petey can handle top competition so this should really help out deployment. Convert gaudette to wing, sign toffoli, keep jake and we’re off to the races.

I’ve mentioned this before, put Miller at centre and go with a top 9. Most the league has adapted the top 9 model.
The future
Hoglander Petey Podkolzin
Virtanen Miller Lind
Xxxxxxx Horvat Boeser
Motte Gaudette MacEwan
Lockwood

Can’t see Lind being top six or Hoglander being top line any time soon. Way too optimistic. More likely Hoglander is the next Dahlen than he is a top line left winger. Podkolzin I can see, but I doubt Hoglander develops that kind of speed. If he becomes a second line winger in a couple season, he will have done well.

I certainly hope so but this next season is his time to show what he has.
The 4 horseman of Bennings 20/21 cap apocalypse are Sutter Eriksson Beagle and Roussel. After the teams terrific showing this summer, who of these 4 could draw trade interest?
