That may be your narrative but Brisebois said otherwise:Richardstroker69 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 22, 2019 1:20 pmMiller isn’t a cap dump, Callahan going on ltir relieves most of Tampa’s issues, Miller is a 50 point versatile winger that’s cost controlled with no trade protection through his prime.DonCherry4PM wrote: ↑Sat Jun 22, 2019 1:11 pmAnd shouldn't overpay in a market where other cash strapped teams are paying high prices for cap space.Uncle dans leg wrote: ↑Sat Jun 22, 2019 12:41 pmHe is a player. Its not that...its that a rebuilding team should hang onto 1st rounders especially when your gms greatest attribute is judging amateur talent.Richardstroker69 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 22, 2019 12:31 pm I like this trade, immediate impact on top 6, 4 more years at a cost controlled contract, big 200 ft player, ntc now voided, we keep the first for next year if we miss the playoffs (huge deal with how deep the draft is). I don’t get the freak out, Miller is a legit player
And if they were going to overpay a 1st, 3rd and prospect to a cash strapped team, perhaps it should have been at a time when trying to move from competitive to contending rather than from subpar to competitive. Either way I don't think the addition of JT gets you there. For such substantive assets I would have hoped to see more of a game changer (whether O or D).
[Emphasis added]Eventually we were going to have to unload some players and unfortunately today was one of those days. We had to create some cap space and Miller ended up being the player moved to make that cap space.
OK, fine; I put it back. But they're from Florida. WTH do they know about hockey.Uncle dans leg wrote: ↑Sat Jun 22, 2019 3:27 pm Someone linked the tampa fan board on here somewhere and i didnt read one post that was complaining about the return they got.
Says alot
The good thing is the player we overpaid for is still a pretty good player...even if we end up unnecessarily donating a testicle in acquiring him
I LOVE THIS TRADE!!Cornuck wrote: ↑Sat Jun 22, 2019 10:45 am TRADE: The Lightning have traded forward J.T. Miller to Vancouver for a conditional first-round pick in 2020, a third-round selection in 2019 and goaltender Marek Mazanec. Should the Canucks not make the playoffs in 2019-20, the first-round selection will move to the 2021 draft.
How do you feel about pretty well everyone everywhere considering it an overpayment?Strangelove wrote: ↑Sat Jun 22, 2019 4:24 pm Miller's NTC is gone now as he was traded before it kicked in...
Hockey's Future overvalues draft picks and Miller's numbers were down because of 3rd line icetime last year.Uncle dans leg wrote: ↑Sat Jun 22, 2019 4:27 pmHow do you feel about pretty well everyone everywhere considering it an overpayment?Strangelove wrote: ↑Sat Jun 22, 2019 4:24 pm Miller's NTC is gone now as he was traded before it kicked in...
