It’s stunning to me that there are still idiots out there who still prefer a non guaranteed 1st round pick, somewhere in the mid round, over JT Miller who is clearly one of the games best two way winger/centre at the moment, relatively young and on a great contract. Stunning
I see that the poster boy of the rebuild - Buffalo Sabres lost again last night
Miller exceeding his expected ceiling right from day 1 really helps!
In a do-over I'm sure Tampon doesn't make this trade
I think they probably have to. Too many guys with NTC. Miller didn’t have one. They got 5.25 off the books and a 1st and a 3rd. It’s a win win trade. I mean sure they’d probably rather have dealt Gourde but he had NTC. J.T. Miller never got close to this opportunity in Tampa. He has thrived playing here on the top line.
If they're lucky they might draft a Brendan Gaunce calibre asset with our 25th
or later pick

Yeah, Miller was screwed out of his NTC when the Rags traded him to us.

If Buffalo was smart they’d give Ralph Kruger the reins and make him GM as well. The guy is a smart man. They have the two most important pieces in place. They have an elite top 5 centre and an elite future top 5 d man. They need to build around those two kids. Armitage- Drennan was supposed to be stepping in behind Eichel but he looks pretty weak at this point.

The Dude and Steve Armitage are like relatives. They have both experienced that trench stench.

Often overlooked simple point: some trades can be wins for one side and not losses to the other.
I'm sure Tampa would love to have this years JT Miller on their roster. But its not like they need more help. Whatever Miller's absence and Gourde's regression, its been effectively replaces by Cirelli's continued improvement and Killorn's where-the-hell-is-this-coming-from-30-yo-season.
It seems year after year they have another player take a big step. Johnson, then Kucherov, then Hedman becomes an offensive threat, then Point and Gourde, now Cirelli and Killorn. They are doing good things in that organization. It isn't always finding the diamonds later in the draft (like Point and quite likely Cirelli). There questionable longer-term lockups have yet come back to bite them (though there's still time to get hamstrung by Johnson's, Killorn's, and Gourde's, right?).
Moreover, I've been to a few games there, and the building is alive. So you live in the near-tropics with year round beach and golf, the games have energy, you live in relative anonymity, there's no state income tax.... Good deal for the players!

I went to one game there and was impressed - it seems like the Panthers should just try and copy what they're doing.
(like it's that easy)

I was impressed with Cozens at the WJC, I’d add him to his yiung core to build around. Keep Reinhart, he’s their Horvat. Alexander Nylander and MiddleStat are not good picks. Ristolainen is very meh.
Looks like they are heading for another guaranteed lottery pick. Maybe Canucks HF should become Sabre fans, they like that model

Nylander is in Chicago. Middlestat is pretty sucky

Yes I know, he was traded to Chicago. Drafted 8th overall in 2016

Apparently a lot of the urine crew feel that this the is year that Vancouver should go all in because they only have a one year window and the wheels are going to fall off next season. You can’t make this shit up. It’s in the management thread and the roster/fantasy GM thread. Unbelievable how stupid some of these folks are.
Apparently they’ve gotten every bounce and every break this year. They will have massive cap issues and be a lottery team next year. The mental gymnastics these turd perform must be exhausting.
