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.

The 'Chain of Command' is the chain I am going to beat you with until you understand I am in charge.

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.Madcombinepilot wrote:exactly!!ESQ wrote: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.Madcombinepilot wrote: ok, let me clarify.. of course money matters..

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.

I wouldn't worry too hard about signing Miller. According to Ek, the god who knows everything, Miller is being moved to Anaheim immediately after the expansion draft.....ESQ wrote: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.Madcombinepilot wrote: ok, let me clarify.. of course money matters..

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
I assume that Hossa will not be retired in the next few years. He just will not play. Does Luongo have a similar medical problem?Blackhawks' Hossa won't play 2017-18 season

Not according to Matt Sekeres. He says that it will be either Gaunce or Sbisa. I assume that the Vancouver pick is pretty much ended up being "what is needed to meet the requirements".Hockey Widow wrote:Or it means Miller is being selected by Vegas and they are moving him.micky107 wrote:So, like that would mean we get something, right.

Hossa done for next season due to a skin ailment.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

Should've just gone with post-concussion syndrome, then he'd get a head office job with the NHL and could be put on LTIR.Topper wrote:NHL looking into the Hossa situation

Team Canada news:
Willie to be named coach for up coming Olympic team. I guess Bettman was serious about no Olympics!
