ok, let me clarify.. of course money matters.. I am saying so long as its only a 1 year contract, if we pay an extra million or so to Miller, It doesn't matter to our cap for the year.
I understand that we want to be in a position to take on Salary (and we still will be) to potentially make a deal, but why would we want to take someone elses bad contract?!? Last thing we need as a rebuilding team is another long term Albatross Contract.
I'd be more than OK with Miller getting an NMC if its a one-year deal, its not as though there will be much market for him at the deadline and other teams (i.e. Vegas) may shy away from an NMC.
exactly!!

Sorry, not trying to start an argument but I wouldn't give him anything more than a limited NTC, whether it's 1 or 2 years.. Maybe 8 teams he wont go to.
Maybe next Feb., It'll be an injured goalie fest, you never know.
I would only go 4 mill, for either one or two years, with that stingy NTC, that's it.
No, I personally do not think Markstrom can play 60+ games, but I do think he can play 40 to 45 and if Miller doesn't like a deal like I propose, Let him walk, we can get another goalie that can play 40 games for less than 4 mill.
